Slitless game world system based on server/customer's machine and method thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to a seamless game world system based on server / customer machine and its method. Said system includes the following several portions: game server, customer machine, game logic calculation module, map controller and game role state replacement module. Said invention also provides the concrete function and action of the above-mentioned every portion, and provides the concrete steps of said game method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to computer systems for online gaming and methods used therefor, and more particularly to games that are divided into several small game worlds in massively multiplayer online games based on client / server architectures A seamless game world system and the methods used by the world partitions to link together to form the entire game world. Background technique [0002] With the advent of the Internet and wireless communication technologies, massively multiplayer online games (massively multiplayer online games) have become more and more popular in recent years. Although the P2P architecture has been theoretically researched for several years, and there are already P2P-based games, due to game security and management considerations, most commercially run massively multiplayer online games are generally client / server architecture. [0003] In a massively multiplayer online game in the form of a client / server archi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] Discrete game worlds have three major drawbacks: 1) When switching between two regions operated by different servers, there is a noticeable interruption to the game being played

As a result, players experience severe issues with choppy visuals on the client site

2) Area boundaries prohibit players from looking at the other side of the game world, which in turn reduces the interactivity and entertainment of the game

3) Increased the difficulty of dynamic load balancing of the game server farm (that is, the batch movement of game characters is a very challenging task without the influence of the regular business of the game server)

[0013] The main weakness of the buffer solution is that it requires the game map to be reconstructed, the shape and size of the map cells are limited, and it presents difficult choices when dealing with dynamically changing regions of interest

If the largest regions of interest are selected as the extent of the overlapping regions, then it increases their redundant computation and communication load, and reduces the overall resource usage of the game server farm
