[0059] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0060] Embodiments of the present application provide a game map display method, apparatus, computer equipment, and storage medium.

[0061] Among them, the game map display device can be specifically integrated in or in a terminal, and the terminal can be a smart phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, desktop computer, smart speaker, smart watch, etc., but is not limited to this. The terminal and the server can be directly or indirectly connected via wired or wireless communication. This application is not limited here. The server can be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN, as well as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0062] In this embodiment, the computer device can be used to: in response to the map display operation triggered for the target game, obtain the game level information of the current game account, determine the map area to be unlocked corresponding to the level to be unlocked in the game map of the target game, display the game map, and display the area masking animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked on the map area to be unlocked of the game map. The above-mentioned computer device can be a user's terminal device or a game server of the opening personnel, etc., and this embodiment has no limitation on this.

[0063] In this embodiment, the target game can be deployed on the corresponding game server (such as Figure 1a The game server 20 in the game server 20 is connected to the terminal 10, and the user can interact with the game server 20 through the terminal 10. The terminal 10 may be integrated with a game client, and the user can interact with the game server through the game client on the terminal, or the user can log in to a web page provided by the game server through the terminal 10 to interact with the game server through the web page.

[0064] The terminal 10 and the server 20 are connected via a network, for example, via a wired or wireless network.

[0065] In one example, after the target game is deployed on the game server, the terminal 10 can obtain the game level information of the current game account in response to the map display operation triggered for the target game. Then, the terminal 10 can determine the map area to be unlocked corresponding to the level to be unlocked in the game map of the target game. Finally, the terminal 10 can display the game map and display the area masking animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked on the map area to be unlocked of the game map, wherein the dynamic effect of the area masking animation is associated with the unlocking difficulty corresponding to the map area to be unlocked.

[0066] It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0067] See also Figure 1b , an embodiment of the present application provides a game map display method, and the process may be as follows: in response to a map display operation triggered for a target game, obtain game level information of the current game account, determine the map area to be unlocked corresponding to the level to be unlocked in the game map of the target game, display the game map, and display the area masking animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked on the map area to be unlocked of the game map.

[0068] 101. In response to a map display operation triggered for a target game, obtain game level information of a current game account.

[0069] With the rapid development of personal computer technology, the content of computer games (hereinafter referred to as games) is becoming increasingly rich, the types are becoming more and more numerous, the plots of games are becoming more and more complicated, and the images are becoming more and more realistic. Current games include role-playing games, action games, adventure games, first-person shooter games, fighting games, etc. The game map display solution provided by this application is mainly used in games that require players to explore or unlock levels, such as role-playing games and fighting games, etc. Although racing games also have corresponding game maps, the maps presented to players by racing games are not blocked.

[0070] It should be noted that role-playing games are games with complete storylines in which players take on one or more characters in the game, while adventure games are games in which players control game characters to go on virtual adventures. The characteristic of adventure games is that the storyline is often unfolded in the form of completing a task or solving certain puzzles, and the importance of puzzles is emphasized during the game.

[0071] The game map display method of the present application provides a graphical user interface of the current game account through a terminal device, wherein a graphical user interface (Graphical User Interface, GUI for short, also known as a graphical user interface) refers to a computer operation user interface displayed in a graphical manner. A graphical user interface is an interface display format for communication between a person and a computer, allowing a user to use an input device such as a mouse to manipulate icons or menu options on the screen to select commands, call files, start programs, or perform other daily tasks. Compared with a character interface that completes routine tasks by inputting text or character commands on the keyboard, a graphical user interface has many advantages. A graphical user interface is composed of windows, drop-down menus, dialog boxes, and their corresponding control mechanisms, and is standardized in various new applications, that is, the same operation is always performed in the same way. In a graphical user interface, users see and operate graphic objects, and computer graphics technology is applied.

[0072] Taking role-playing games as an example for specific explanation, when a user is playing a role-playing game, the user can click on the map display control of the role-playing game to determine the location of his or her character. In role-playing games, the areas in the game map are often associated with the levels in the game. For example, in the game map, the levels that the player has not unlocked are often represented by pictures or dark colors. However, this game map display scheme is relatively simple, and the player can only know the levels that he or she has not unlocked. Therefore, the present application provides a game map display scheme, which uses the levels to be unlocked by the player and the difficulty of unlocking the levels to be unlocked to display the game map. That is to say, in order to realize the subsequent map display, when receiving the map display operation triggered for the target game, the game level information of the current game account is obtained, and the game level information includes the to-be-unlocked levels corresponding to the current game account, and may also include the unlocked levels corresponding to the current game account, wherein the current game account is the game account of the user corresponding to the triggering of the map display operation. The map display operation may be triggered by the user clicking on the map display control, or by the user through voice control, or by the terminal or server, which depends on the actual situation and will not be elaborated here.

[0073] It should be noted that the target game can be a game integrated in the client, or it can be a cloud game (Cloudgaming). Cloud gaming can also be called gaming on demand, which is an online gaming technology based on cloud computing technology. Cloud gaming technology enables thin clients with relatively limited graphics processing and data computing capabilities to run high-quality games. In the cloud gaming scenario, the game is not run on the player's game terminal, but on the cloud server, and the cloud server renders the game scene into a video and audio stream, which is transmitted to the player's game terminal through the network. The player's game terminal does not need to have powerful graphics computing and data processing capabilities, but only needs to have basic streaming media playback capabilities and the ability to obtain player input commands and send them to the cloud server.

[0074] 102. Determine, in a game map of the target game, a to-be-unlocked map area corresponding to a to-be-unlocked level.

[0075] In the game, the game process is divided into several parts according to the game difficulty or the game plot, which are called game levels, also known as game processes. When designing the game, in order to improve the playability of the game, different game levels correspond to different game difficulties, and certain game levels correspond to certain areas in the game map. Players can unlock the complete game map by exploring different game levels. In this application, the area in the game map corresponding to the level unlocked by the player is the unlocked game map area, and the area in the game map corresponding to the level not unlocked by the player is the to-be-unlocked game map area.

[0076] 103. Display the game map, and display an area masking animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked on the map area to be unlocked of the game map.

[0077] Among them, in the present application, animation refers to a dynamic image that is a static image or a graphic sequence that changes continuously and gradually, and is displayed sequentially along the time axis. The area covering animation is an animation that covers the target area. The dynamic effect of the area covering animation is associated with the unlocking difficulty corresponding to the map area to be unlocked. For example, the area covering animation is a dynamic cloud layer. The unlocking difficulty is divided into low, medium and high levels. The corresponding cloud thickness is thin, moderate and thick, and the corresponding cloud flow rate is slow, moderate and fast. In addition, in some embodiments, the dynamic effect of the area covering animation is also associated with the unlocking reward corresponding to the map area to be unlocked. For example, the area covering animation is a dynamic cloud layer. The unlocking difficulty is divided into low, medium and high levels. The thickness of the cloud layer is associated with the unlocking difficulty, and the cloud thickness is thin, moderate and thick; the unlocking reward is divided into ordinary, rare and top, and the cloud flow rate is associated with the unlocking reward, and the cloud flow rate is slow, moderate and fast; of course, the thickness of the cloud layer can also be associated with the unlocking reward, and the cloud flow rate can also be associated with the unlocking difficulty, which can be set according to actual conditions.

[0078] In addition, in order to facilitate the distinction between different areas to be unlocked, in the present application, the area division of the game map can be used to determine the boundaries between the areas, and then the area covering animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked is displayed on the map area to be unlocked on the game map, that is, optionally, in some embodiments, the step of "displaying the area covering animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked on the map area to be unlocked on the game map" can specifically include:

[0079] (11) Obtaining the regional division information of the game map and the unlocking difficulty corresponding to the map area to be unlocked;

[0080] (12) Based on the area division information, determine the boundaries between the areas corresponding to each level in the game map;

[0081] (13) Based on the unlocking difficulty and the determined boundaries, an area masking animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked is displayed on the map area to be unlocked on the game map.

[0082] Among them, the area division information carries information on dividing the game map area. Based on the area division information, the boundaries of different areas in the game map, that is, the boundaries between the areas corresponding to each level, can be determined. Then, based on the unlocking difficulty and the determined boundaries, the area masking animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked is displayed on the map area to be unlocked in the game map.

[0083] It should be noted that the present application can quantify the difficulty of unlocking different levels by difficulty level. For example, the unlocking difficulty corresponding to level 1 is easy, and the unlocking difficulty corresponding to level 5 is difficult. That is to say, the corresponding area masking animation can be displayed at the position of the game map in the map area to be unlocked according to the difficulty level. That is, optionally, in some embodiments, the step of "displaying the area masking animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked on the map area to be unlocked of the game map according to the unlocking difficulty and the determined boundary" can specifically include:

[0084] (21) According to the unlocking difficulty, obtain the difficulty level corresponding to the map area to be unlocked;

[0085] (22) Based on the determined boundary, determine the location of the map area to be unlocked on the game map;

[0086] (23) Based on the difficulty level, the corresponding area masking animation is displayed at the location of the map area to be unlocked on the game map.

[0087] For example, specifically, the position of map area A to be unlocked on the game map is determined based on the determined boundary, and the position of map area B to be unlocked on the game map is determined, and the difficulty level corresponding to map area A to be unlocked is obtained as level 5, and the difficulty level corresponding to map area B to be unlocked is obtained as level 2. Then, based on the difficulty level, the corresponding area masking animation is displayed at the position of the map area to be unlocked on the game map, that is, the area masking animation corresponding to map area A to be unlocked is different from the area masking animation corresponding to map area B to be unlocked. For example, the area masking animation is fog, and the thickness of the fog corresponding to map area A to be unlocked is greater than the thickness of the fog corresponding to map area B to be unlocked.

[0088] It is understandable that the area masking animation is a superposition effect of multiple static images, and different area masking animations can be set according to different difficulty levels. That is, the area masking data corresponding to the difficulty level can be obtained, and then the game map is displayed based on the area masking data. That is, optionally, in some embodiments, the step of "displaying the corresponding area masking animation at the position of the map area to be unlocked on the game map according to the difficulty level" can specifically include:

[0089] (31) Obtaining area coverage data corresponding to the difficulty level;

[0090] (32) Based on the arrangement order between the multiple color layers, the map area to be unlocked is rendered and displayed at the position on the game map.

[0091] Among them, the area mask data includes multiple layers of color layers. For example, the area mask data corresponding to the difficulty level 5 includes 5 layers of color layers, and the value of the color channel corresponding to each color layer is different. In order to facilitate the understanding of the concept of channels, we take the RGB mode image as an example to briefly introduce the color channel principle. The basic component unit of an image is based on RGB. For this reason, it can be understood that an image is composed of three elements such as RGB. R is a red channel, represented as 1; G is a green channel, represented as 2; B is a blue channel, represented as 3; there is a white image at 4, which is a mixture of the channel colors at 1, 2, and 3. Each color of the red, green, and blue color channels is divided into 256 levels of brightness. At 0, the "light" is the weakest - it is turned off, and at 255, the "light" is the brightest. When the grayscale values ​​of the three colors are the same, gray tones with different grayscale values ​​are generated. That is, when the grayscale of the three colors are all 0, it is the darkest black tone; when the grayscale of the three colors are all 255, it is the brightest white tone. It can be seen that by setting the RGB value corresponding to each color layer to a different value, it is easier to distinguish the unlocked areas with different unlocking difficulties when displaying the game map, thereby improving the diversity of information displayed on the game map.

[0092] In addition, the area masking data may be pre-set, that is, optionally, in some embodiments, may also include:

[0093] (41) Setting the color data of the color layer and the arrangement order between multiple color layers;

[0094] (42) Based on the set arrangement order and the color data of the color layer, construct the area masking data corresponding to the difficulty level.

[0095] The arrangement order between the multiple color layers and the color data of each color layer can be set according to actual needs, which will not be described in detail here.

[0096] In this application, after displaying the area mask animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked, you can also display the map area preview control in the game map, for example, see Figure 1c , a map area preview control a can be displayed in the game map, wherein each area to be unlocked corresponds to a map area preview control a, and the player can click the map area preview control to preview the level reward star rating corresponding to the area to be unlocked, that is, optionally, in some embodiments, the game map display method can also specifically include:

[0097] (51) Displaying a map area preview control in the game map;

[0098] (52) In response to a trigger operation on a map area preview control, the level reward star rating corresponding to the target area to be unlocked is displayed.

[0099] The level reward star indicates the richness of the unlocking reward of the level to be unlocked. For example, the level reward star corresponds to the quantity range of the unlocking reward resources, which can be shown in Table 1:

[0100] The amount range of resource Y that is unlocked as a reward Level Reward Star 0≤Y<30 1 30≤Y<50 2 50≤Y<70 3 70≤Y<80 4 80≤Y<90 5 90≤Y<100 6

[0101] Table 1

[0102] In some embodiments, the map area preview control may be associated with virtual gold coins or virtual currency, that is, the player needs to pay a certain amount of virtual gold coins or virtual currency before using the preview function of the map area preview control.

[0103] Optionally, in some embodiments, after a preset time interval of the display area cover animation, a corresponding map plot animation can be played according to the map area to be unlocked selected by the user, or the corresponding map plot animation can be played according to a preset order, that is, optionally, in some embodiments, the game map display method can further specifically include: in response to a selection operation for the map area to be unlocked, playing a map plot animation associated with the selected map area to be unlocked.

[0104] For example, specifically, 10 seconds after the area cover animation is displayed, the player can click on the area corresponding to the area cover animation, thereby triggering the selection operation for the map area to be unlocked, and then the map plot animation associated with the map area to be unlocked selected by the player will be played, thereby improving the interactivity between the game map and the player, and helping the player to understand the game story, game characters, game difficulty, etc. of the area to be unlocked; or, 10 seconds after the area cover animation is displayed, the system triggers the selection operation for the map area to be unlocked, which can be set specifically according to the actual situation and will not be repeated here.

[0105] It should be noted that, for unlocked levels, some unlocked levels may be newly unlocked by the player, and their corresponding areas have not been displayed in the game map. Therefore, in some embodiments, the display times of the unlocked map area corresponding to the unlocked level may be detected. When it is detected that the display times are less than a preset value, the unlocked map area less than the preset value is determined as the target map area. That is, the game map display method may further include:

[0106] (61) Obtaining the unlocked level corresponding to the current game account from the game level information;

[0107] (62) Detecting the number of times the unlocked map area corresponding to the unlocked level is displayed;

[0108] (63) When it is detected that the number of impressions is less than a preset value, the unlocked map area less than the preset value is determined as the target map area.

[0109] Display the area masking animation corresponding to the target map area on the target map area of ​​the game map, and hide the area masking animation corresponding to the target map area. For example, the preset value is 1. When it is detected that the display count of the unlocked map area S corresponding to the unlocked level is less than 1, that is, the unlocked map area S has not been displayed in the game map. Therefore, when the user opens the game map again, the unlocking process of the unlocked map area S can be displayed to the user. Please refer to Figure 1d ,exist Figure 1d In the left figure, it is the screen corresponding to the unlocked map area S when the user opens the game map again. At this time, the unlocked map area S is covered by the area covering animation. Then, the area covering animation corresponding to the unlocked map area S is hidden, such as Figure 1d As shown in the right figure of , for example, a faded area covering animation is used to prompt the user that the unlocked map area S is the map area corresponding to the level newly unlocked by the user.

[0110] In addition, in some embodiments, for levels unlocked by users after displaying the game map, the game map display can also be performed in the above-mentioned manner, and the corresponding area cover animations can be hidden in chronological order according to the time passed; if all map areas in the game map are unlocked by the player, then all map areas in the game map can be highlighted.

[0111] It should also be noted that, in some embodiments, a mapping relationship between unlocking difficulty and area covering animation can be pre-constructed to facilitate the subsequent acquisition of corresponding area covering animation based on the unlocking difficulty of each level, thereby improving the display efficiency of the game map. That is, optionally, in some embodiments, the game map display method can also specifically include: obtaining the unlocking difficulty of each level in the target game, and establishing a mapping relationship between the unlocking difficulty and the preset area covering animation.

[0112] In response to the map display operation triggered for the target game, the embodiment of the present application obtains the game level information of the current game account, then determines the map area to be unlocked corresponding to the level to be unlocked in the game map of the target game, and finally displays the game map, and displays the area masking animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked on the map area to be unlocked of the game map. The game map display scheme provided by the present application associates the dynamic effect of the area masking animation with the unlocking difficulty corresponding to the map area to be unlocked, so that the player can know the unlocking difficulty of the area to be unlocked through the dynamic effect of the area masking animation when viewing the map, thereby improving the richness of the game map display.

[0113] The method described in the embodiment will be further described in detail below with examples.

[0114] In this embodiment, the game map display device is specifically integrated into a terminal as an example for description. Figure 2a , the embodiment of the present application provides a game map display method, which is as follows:

[0115] 201. In response to a map display operation triggered for a target game, the terminal obtains game level information of a current game account.

[0116] When the terminal receives the map display operation triggered for the target game, it obtains the game level information of the current game account. The game level information includes the levels to be unlocked corresponding to the current game account, and may also include the unlocked levels corresponding to the current game account. The current game account is the game account of the user who triggers the map display operation. The map display operation can be triggered by the user clicking on the map display control, or by the user through voice control, or by the terminal or server. It depends on the actual situation and will not be repeated here.

[0117] It should be noted that the target game can be a game integrated in the client, or it can be a cloud game (Cloudgaming). Cloud gaming can also be called gaming on demand, which is an online gaming technology based on cloud computing technology. Cloud gaming technology enables thin clients with relatively limited graphics processing and data computing capabilities to run high-quality games. In the cloud gaming scenario, the game is not run on the player's game terminal, but on the cloud server, and the cloud server renders the game scene into a video and audio stream, which is transmitted to the player's game terminal through the network. The player's game terminal does not need to have powerful graphics computing and data processing capabilities, but only needs to have basic streaming media playback capabilities and the ability to obtain player input commands and send them to the cloud server.

[0118] 202. The terminal determines, in a game map of the target game, a map area to be unlocked corresponding to a level to be unlocked.

[0119] In the present application, the area in the game map corresponding to the level unlocked by the player is the unlocked game map area, and the area in the game map corresponding to the level not unlocked by the player is the to-be-unlocked game map area.

[0120] 203. The terminal displays the game map, and displays an area masking animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked on the map area to be unlocked of the game map.

[0121] The terminal can display the game map through its display screen, and show the area covering animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked on the map area to be unlocked of the game map, wherein the terminal can use the area division of the game map to determine the boundaries between the areas, and then show the area covering animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked on the map area to be unlocked of the game map. For example, specifically, the terminal determines the position of map area A to be unlocked on the game map based on the determined boundaries, and determines the position of map area B to be unlocked on the game map, and obtains that the difficulty level corresponding to map area A to be unlocked is level 5, and the difficulty level corresponding to map area B to be unlocked is level 2. Then, the terminal displays the corresponding area covering animation at the position of the map area to be unlocked on the game map based on the difficulty level.

[0122] This solution includes the regional cover animation production stage and the game running stage. In order to facilitate further understanding of the game map display method of this application, the game map display method of the application is further described below. First, a channel cloud layer map (i.e., regional cover animation) is produced, wherein different cloud layer maps are placed in the red, green, and blue channels for the purpose of simulating and enriching the details of the cloud layer, such as Figure 2b Then, create a dynamic fog material shader, open parameters to place textures, open parameters to adjust the color and transparency of the red, green and blue channels of the cloud layer, and open parameters to adjust the flow speed and flow direction of the red, green and blue channels, as shown in the figure below. Figure 2c As shown, the open parameters can be used to place a mask map to adjust the degree of masking. The purpose of adjusting the degree of masking is to blur the edges and solve the problem of the harsh edges of the clouds. Finally, according to the grading table of the difficulty levels of the game levels, make the corresponding difficulty level template in the dynamic editor.

[0123] During the game running stage, when users open the game map, they can see that the cloud flow speed and thickness in the unlocked area of ​​the map are different. This is because when the game is running, the terminal will obtain the difficulty level classification table of each level in the game map, and then call the configured cloud parameter template of the corresponding difficulty level, thereby generating cloud images of different thicknesses and different flow speeds.

[0124] See also Figure 2d , where the density of the wavy lines indicates the flow velocity of the cloud layer. The larger the density, the faster the flow velocity of the cloud layer, and the smaller the density, the slower the flow velocity of the cloud layer. It can be seen from the figure that the reward corresponding to the thick cloud layer q with a faster cloud flow velocity is richer than the reward corresponding to the thick cloud layer w with a moderate cloud flow velocity, and so on.

[0125] The terminal of the embodiment of the present application responds to the map display operation triggered for the target game, obtains the game level information of the current game account, and then determines the map area to be unlocked corresponding to the level to be unlocked in the game map of the target game. Finally, the terminal displays the game map and displays the area masking animation corresponding to the map area to be unlocked on the map area to be unlocked of the game map. The game map display scheme provided by the present application associates the dynamic effect of the area masking animation with the unlocking difficulty corresponding to the map area to be unlocked, so that the player can know the unlocking difficulty of the area to be unlocked through the dynamic effect of the area masking animation when viewing the map, thereby improving the richness of the game map display.

[0126] In order to facilitate better implementation of the game map display method of the present application, the present application also provides a game map display device based on the above-mentioned game map display method (hereinafter referred to as the display device). The meaning of the terms is the same as in the above-mentioned game map display method, and the specific implementation details can refer to the description in the method embodiment.

[0128] The acquisition module 301 is used to obtain game level information of the current game account in response to the map display operation triggered for the target game.

[0129] When receiving the map display operation triggered for the target game, the acquisition module 301 obtains the game level information of the current game account, and the game level information includes the to-be-unlocked levels corresponding to the current game account, and may also include the unlocked levels corresponding to the current game account, wherein the current game account is the game account corresponding to the user who triggers the map display operation. The map display operation may be triggered by the user clicking on the map display control, or by the user through voice control, or by the terminal or server, depending on the actual situation, which will not be elaborated here.

[0130] It should be noted that the target game can be a game integrated in the client, or it can be a cloud game (Cloudgaming).
