Figure 1 For example, the mobile terminal can include more or fewer components than those shown, or have a different configuration of components than those shown. Figure 1 For example, the mobile terminal can include more or fewer components than those shown, or have a different configuration of components than those shown.

[0039] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, such as software programs of application software and modules, such as a computer program corresponding to the game control method in the embodiments of the present application. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer programs stored in the memory 104, i.e., implements the game control method described above. The memory 104 can include a high-speed random access memory, and can further include a non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, a flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memories.

Examples of the network include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0040] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. Specific examples of the network can include a wireless network provided by a communication provider of the mobile terminal. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a network adapter (NIC), which can be connected to other network devices through a base station so as to communicate with the Internet. In one example, the transmission device 106 can be a radio frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet in a wireless manner.

[0041] The input in the input / output device 108 can come from a plurality of human interface devices (HIDs). For example: keyboard and mouse, gamepad, other special game controllers (such as steering wheel, fishing rod, dance pad, remote controller, etc.). Some human interface devices can provide not only input function but also output function, for example: force feedback and vibration of gamepad, audio output of controller, etc.

[0042] The display device 110 can be, for example, a heads-up display (HUD), a liquid crystal display (LCD) with touch screen, and a touch display (also referred to as "touch screen" or "touch display screen"). The liquid crystal display can enable a user to interact with a user interface of the mobile terminal.

[0043] The game control method in one embodiment of the present disclosure can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the game control method runs on the server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, various cloud applications can run under the cloud interaction system, for example: cloud gaming. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the running mode of cloud gaming, the running body of the game program and the presentation body of the game picture are separated, and the storage and running of the game control method are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting game pictures. For example, the client device can be a display device close to the user side with data transmission function, such as mobile terminal, television, computer, palmtop computer, etc.; but the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation instructions to the cloud gaming server, the cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation instructions, encodes and compresses the game picture and other data, returns the data to the client device through the network, and finally decodes and outputs the game picture through the client device.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is configured to present a game screen. The local terminal device is configured to interact with a player through a graphical user interface, i.e., a conventional game program is downloaded and installed through an electronic device and is run. The local terminal device can provide the graphical user interface to the player in various ways, for example, the graphical user interface can be rendered and displayed on a display screen of the terminal, or the graphical user interface can be provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen configured to present a graphical user interface including a game screen, and a processor configured to run the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0046] In a possible embodiment, the embodiment of the present application provides a game control method for providing a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The terminal device can be the local terminal device mentioned above or the client device in the cloud interaction system mentioned above. Figure 2 is a flowchart of a game control method according to an embodiment of the present application, a graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device, and content displayed by the graphical user interface includes part of a game scene, at least one virtual character, and a shortcut icon, as shown in Figure 2 The method includes the following steps:

[0047] In step S202, in response to a touch operation on the shortcut icon, a virtual roulette is displayed on the graphical user interface, where the virtual roulette includes a target control located at a center position of the virtual roulette and a plurality of slots, each slot is composed of a first area and a second area, the first area is located between the center position and the second area, and each slot is configured to establish a binding relationship with at least one virtual item.

[0048] The graphical user interface in the above steps can be a game interface provided for user operation. The interface displays part of a game scene, a virtual character controlled by the player, virtual characters controlled by other players, and a shortcut icon. The player can trigger the display of a virtual wheel on the graphical user interface by clicking the icon. The target control in the above steps can be a control that can move on the virtual wheel, for example, a circular operation icon, but is not limited thereto. In an initial state (i.e., no operation by the user), the target control can be located at the center of the virtual wheel, and can change position accordingly as it is dragged.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, when the player needs to use the item, the player can touch the "shortcut button" icon with a finger. After detecting the touch operation, the electronic device can open the shortcut use interface, i.e., display the virtual wheel on the graphical user interface. It should be noted that the shortcut use interface is displayed on the graphical user interface by keeping the finger pressed on the screen, and the shortcut use interface is closed by releasing the finger. Figure 3

[0050] In an alternative embodiment, the number of slots on the virtual wheel is fixed at 8. When a slot is not equipped with a virtual item, the slot is still displayed, but the slot content is empty.

[0051] Step S204: In response to the dragging operation on the target control, the target control is controlled to move in the graphical user interface following the dragging operation.

[0052] During the movement of the player's finger on the target control, the target control is controlled to move with the movement of the finger.

[0053] Step S206: In response to the target control reaching the first region of the first slot among the plurality of slots, the first slot is selected.

[0054] ​Alternatively, the first slot can be determined by the following steps: obtaining the operation parameters of the drag operation; and determining the first slot based on the operation parameters.

[0055] The operation parameters in the above steps include, but are not limited to, the drag angle and drag distance of the target control. Since each slot has a fixed position, the target slot can be determined by the drag angle and distance of the target control.

[0056] Optionally, the operation parameters include at least: drag angle, wherein determining the first slot based on the operation parameters includes: obtaining a preset angle range corresponding to each slot; comparing the drag angle with the preset angle ranges corresponding to multiple slots to determine the target angle range to which the drag angle belongs; and determining the slot corresponding to the target angle range as the first operation.

[0057] In one alternative embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, assuming the virtual wheel has 8 slots, each slot corresponds to an angle range of 45°. A polar coordinate system is constructed with the wheel's center as the pole, where 0° is horizontal to the right, the top is the positive direction of the angle, and the bottom is the negative direction. Based on this, the preset angle range corresponding to the slot directly to the right can be determined to be -22.5° to 22.5°, and so on, to determine the preset angle range corresponding to each slot. During the movement of the target control, the drag angle of the target control can be detected in real time. This drag angle is then compared with the preset angle ranges corresponding to multiple slots to determine the target angle range to which the drag angle belongs, thus determining the first slot. For example, if the drag angle is 20°, then the first slot is determined to be the slot directly to the right.

[0058] The first area in the above steps can be a selected area. When the target control reaches the area, the first virtual item corresponding to the first slot can be controlled to be in a selected state. The selected state can mean that the target virtual item is selected but not used. The ready-to-use state can mean that the target virtual item is selected and the player is waiting to release the finger before using the item.

[0059] Optionally, the operation parameters include: drag distance, wherein the target area reached by the target control can be determined by the following steps: obtaining the preset distance range corresponding to each area, wherein the preset distance range is used to characterize the distance range between each area and the center position of the virtual wheel; comparing the drag distance with the preset distance ranges corresponding to multiple areas to determine the target distance range to which the drag distance belongs; and determining the area corresponding to the target distance range as the target area.

[0060] The preset distance range in the above step can be a range between the shortest distance and the longest distance from each region to the center position of the virtual roulette. The target region reached by the target control can be determined by comparing the dragging distance of the target control with the preset distance range corresponding to each region.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, after the first slot is determined according to the angle of the target control dragging, whether the target control reaches the first region can be determined according to the dragging parameter of the target control, for example, whether the first region is reached is determined according to the current position or the dragging distance of the target control. Further, after reaching the first region, it can be determined that the player selects the target virtual item and does not want to use it immediately, so the first slot can be selected without executing the instruction of using the virtual item.

[0062] As shown in Figure 4 , taking one of the slots as an example, the regions represented by the numbers 1 and 2 in the figure are the first region and the second region respectively. The user's finger can drag the target control (such as the solid circle shown in Figure 4 ) to move from the center position (such as the dashed circle shown in Figure 4 ). When the target control reaches the first region of the first slot, the first slot can be selected, as shown in Figure 4 , which can be represented by the way of slotting the slot with the annotation box of thick lines.

[0063] In step S208, in response to the target control reaching the second region of the first slot, the virtual character is controlled to use the first virtual item corresponding to the first slot.

[0064] The second region in the above step can be a region to be used. When the target control reaches the region, the first virtual item corresponding to the first slot can be controlled to be in a state to be used, wherein the state to be used can be that the target virtual item is selected and waits for the player to release the finger to use the item.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, after the first slot is determined according to the angle of the target control dragging, whether the target control reaches the second region can be determined according to the dragging parameter of the target control, for example, whether the second region is reached is determined according to the current position or the dragging distance of the target control. Further, after reaching the second region, it can be determined that the player wants to use the target virtual item, so the instruction of using the virtual item can be executed.

[0066] It should be noted that when the target control reaches different regions of the first slot, the first slot can be marked with different colors, so as to facilitate the user to more intuitively distinguish different regions and improve the user experience. For example, when the target control reaches the first region of the first slot, the first slot is selected, as shown in Figure 4The shown mark box can be blue; when the target control reaches the second area of the first slot, the virtual character is controlled to use the first virtual item corresponding to the first slot, such as Figure 4 The shown mark box can be green.

[0067] In at least some embodiments of the present application, a virtual wheel is displayed on the graphical user interface in response to a touch operation on the shortcut icon, the target control is controlled to follow the drag operation in the graphical user interface in response to a drag operation on the target control, the first slot is selected in response to the target control reaching the first area of the first slot, and the virtual character is controlled to use the first virtual item corresponding to the first slot in response to the target control reaching the second area of the first slot, thereby achieving the purpose of quick use of virtual items. It is easy to note that after the player clicks on the shortcut icon, the player can select the first virtual item to be used by dragging the target control, so that the player does not need to perform multiple click operations when using virtual items, thereby avoiding breakpoints, simplifying the operation process, improving the continuity of the operation, and improving the overall experience. Technical effects, thereby solving the technical problems in the prior art that the game control method needs to perform multiple independent click operations, resulting in low operation continuity, strong interruption, and poor experience.

[0068] Optionally, the method further includes: during the display of the virtual wheel, in response to a sliding operation on a blank area in the graphical user interface, controlling the virtual wheel to rotate according to the sliding operation.

[0069] The blank area in the above steps can be an area other than the display area of the virtual wheel in the graphical user interface, or an area in the graphical user interface that does not contain any icons, but is not limited to this.

[0070] Optionally, the virtual wheel can be controlled to rotate by the following steps: obtaining the sliding distance of the sliding operation; determining the rotation angle of the virtual wheel based on the sliding distance; and controlling the virtual wheel to rotate according to the rotation angle.

[0071] In an optional example, as Figure 5As shown, the virtual wheel can be displayed on the left side of the electronic device, and the player can hold the target control in the virtual wheel with one hand to keep the virtual wheel continuously displayed, and can slide up or down on the right side of the electronic device with the other hand to control the virtual wheel to rotate, so as to more quickly select different items to be used. Optionally, the rotation direction of the virtual wheel can be determined based on the sliding direction of the sliding operation, and the rotation angle of the virtual wheel can be determined based on the sliding distance of the sliding operation. Further, the sliding direction is upward, and the corresponding rotation direction is counterclockwise rotation; the sliding direction is downward, and the corresponding rotation direction is clockwise rotation. Moreover, a mapping relationship between the sliding distance and the rotation angle can be pre-set, so that after the sliding distance is obtained, the corresponding rotation angle can be determined based on the mapping relationship. Optionally, the virtual wheel rotates clockwise, and the corresponding rotation angle is positive; the virtual wheel rotates counterclockwise, and the corresponding rotation angle is negative. On this basis, the virtual wheel can be controlled to rotate according to the determined rotation angle and rotation direction.

[0072] Optionally, the method further includes: in response to the target control reaching the first region of the first slot, displaying detailed information of the first virtual item.

[0073] The detailed information in the above steps can be the name of the virtual item, detailed introduction, etc. For example, for equipment, the detailed information can be the name of the equipment, description information, equipment effect information, etc., but is not limited thereto, and the present application does not make specific limitations thereon.

[0074] In an optional embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to confirm the selected first virtual item, when the user selects the first virtual item, that is, when the target control reaches the first region of the first slot, the detailed information of the first virtual item can be displayed.

[0075] Optionally, the method further includes: in the process of the first slot being in the selected state, in response to a sliding operation on the blank region in the graphical user interface, controlling the virtual wheel to rotate according to the sliding operation; and in response to the target control falling into the second slot, canceling the selected state of the first slot and selecting the second slot.

[0076] In the process of controlling the virtual wheel to rotate, the display positions of the plurality of slots change with the rotation of the virtual wheel, and since the display position of the target control remains unchanged, the target control can overlap with other slots. At this time, the slot that overlaps with the target control can be determined as the target slot. Optionally, the slot that overlaps with the target control can be highlighted, so that the user can more clearly and intuitively know the current target slot. When the target control is in the originally selected slot (i.e., the first slot), as shown in FIG. 6A, the selection box follows the rotation of the wheel, and when the target control reaches another slot (i.e., the second slot), as shown in FIG. 6B, the selection box follows the rotation of the wheel. Figure 5 Figure 6 ​As shown, another slot is automatically selected.

[0077] In an alternative embodiment, the left hand and the right hand can operate simultaneously, the left hand drags the target control, and the right hand slides the blank area. At this time, the angle of the target control can be calculated by subtracting the rotation angle of the wheel from the dragging angle of the target control, and the slot in which the target control and the virtual wheel overlap can be determined to determine the target slot.

[0078] In another alternative embodiment, the current angle range of each slot can be determined by the rotation angle of the virtual wheel, and the target control can be determined by the dragging angle of the target control.

[0079] Optionally, the first slot and the second slot are adjacent slots, and the method further comprises: in response to the area of the part of the target control located in the second slot being greater than the area of the part of the target control located in the first slot, determining that the target control falls into the second slot.

[0080] In an alternative embodiment, the target control can be determined to fall into which slot based on the current position of the center point of the target control. In another alternative embodiment, when the target control overlaps two slots, the area of the overlapping part in each slot can be determined, and the slot corresponding to the largest area is determined to be the slot into which the target control falls. That is, when the area of the part of the target control located in the second slot is greater than the area of the part of the target control located in the first slot, it is determined that the target control falls into the second slot, otherwise, it is determined that the target control still falls into the first slot.

[0081] Optionally, the method further comprises: in response to the touch point corresponding to the dragging operation moving from the second area to an area outside the virtual wheel, controlling the target control to remain in the second area.

[0082] In an alternative embodiment, during the process of the player's finger moving while pressing the target control, the target control can be controlled to move with the movement of the finger, but the movement range of the target control can only be within the display area of the virtual wheel.
