Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for loading game maps in chunks. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the internet and the gaming industry, online games are becoming increasingly popular. Most online games require maps. As the most basic carrier, the entire game map must be loaded every time the game starts. As the map expands and grows, performance consumption and memory usage increase exponentially. Therefore, optimizing the map for memory and performance is essential.

[0003] To reduce the memory footprint of maps, their data files are typically segmented into chunks, ensuring that each chunk is larger than the display screen's size. When loading the map, only the chunk corresponding to the current display screen needs to be loaded. While loading only the current map chunk is sufficient when the display screen is stationary, efficiently, automatically, and recognizablely loading the map to be displayed when the screen moves has become a hot research topic.

[0004] There are currently two common approaches: Approach 1: Determine the positions of the four vertices of the currently displayed interface on the game map and load the map chunk file containing each vertex; Approach 2: Using the map chunk containing the center point of the displayed interface as the center grid, load nine map chunk files in a 3x3 grid shape.

[0005] However, the two existing solutions mentioned above have the following problems: Solution 1: It cannot preload map tiles. This solution can only load the next map tile by judging the conditions when moving to the boundary of a map tile in real time. When encountering the intersection of map tiles or moving quickly in the display interface, it will cause a large amount of data to be loaded at the same time, resulting in the inability to load map data in time, and eventually causing lag, black screen and other phenomena. Solution 2: Loading too many map tiles does not achieve the maximum memory saving, and frequent read and write operations are required, resulting in high performance consumption. If the map tile is too large, the memory saving space is negligible; if the map tile is too small, the performance consumption is too high, which is not worthwhile; even if the optimal tile size is found, it is still necessary to keep loading the memory of nine map tiles, and at least 3 to 5 system read and write operations are required when moving. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for loading game map chunks, which can preload the map chunks required for the next game map movement operation, without having to load nine map chunks, thus saving memory and greatly reducing the number of system read and write operations.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for loading game map chunks, including:

[0008] At the end of each game map movement operation, obtain the position of the center point of the display interface on the game map;

[0009] Obtain the map tile where the location is located, and divide the map tile into quadrants; wherein, the map tile is a sub-map of the game map;

[0010] Determine the quadrant region where the location is located, and load the map tiles adjacent to the quadrant region.

[0011] As an improvement to the above scheme, the map tiles are obtained through the following steps:

[0012] The game map is cut into several map blocks of the same size; wherein, the length H of the map block satisfies the following relationship: H / 2 is greater than the length of the display interface, and H / 2 is greater than the preset maximum screen movement distance in a single operation; the width W of the map block satisfies the following relationship: W / 2 is greater than the width of the display interface, and W / 2 is greater than the preset maximum screen movement distance in a single operation.

[0013] As an improvement to the above solution, the game map chunk loading method further includes:

[0014] At the end of each game map movement operation, the map tile currently displayed on the display interface is cached in the cache.

[0015] Then, loading the map tiles adjacent to the quadrant region further includes:

[0016] When it is determined that the cache contains map tiles adjacent to the quadrant region, the remaining map tiles adjacent to the quadrant region are loaded.

[0017] As an improvement to the above solution, the position of the center point of the display interface on the game map is obtained through the following steps:

[0018] A first planar rectangular coordinate system is established with the upper left corner of the game map as the first origin, the ray that passes through the first origin and extends to the right as the X-axis, and the ray that passes through the first origin and extends downward as the Y-axis.

[0019] Based on the first planar rectangular coordinate system, the coordinates of the center point of the display interface on the center point of the game map are obtained.

[0020] As an improvement to the above solution, the map tile where the location is located is obtained through the following steps;

[0021] The X-axis coordinate of the center point is divided by the width of the map tile, and the Y-axis coordinate of the center point is divided by the length of the map tile to obtain the tile coordinates of the map tile where the center point is located; wherein, the tile coordinates of the map tile in the nth row and mth column are represented as (n-1, m-1).

[0022] Based on the block coordinates, obtain the map block where the center point coordinates are located.

[0023] As an improvement to the above scheme, the quadrant division of the map tiles includes:

[0024] A second Cartesian coordinate system is established using any vertex of the map segment as the second origin;

[0025] Based on the second Cartesian coordinate system, the map is divided into four quadrant regions.

[0026] As an improvement to the above solution, the quadrant region where the location is situated is determined through the following steps:

[0027] Based on the preset quadrant determination rules corresponding to the first plane rectangular coordinate system, the quadrant region where the position is located is determined according to the coordinates of the center point and the block coordinates.

[0028] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of the present invention also provide a game map chunk loading device, including a controller, wherein the controller is configured to:

[0029] At the end of each game map movement operation, obtain the position of the center point of the display interface on the game map;

[0031] Determine the quadrant region where the location is located, and load the map tiles adjacent to the quadrant region.

[0032] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of the present invention also provide an electronic device, including a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor, wherein the processor implements the above-described game map chunk loading method when executing the computer program.

[0033] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of the present invention also provide a computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including a stored computer program; wherein, when the computer program is executed, it controls the device where the computer-readable storage medium is located to execute the above-described game map chunk loading method.

[0039] Figure 5 This is a structural block diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a game map chunk loading method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The game map chunk loading method includes:

[0042] S1. At the end of each game map movement operation, obtain the position of the center point of the display interface on the game map;

[0043] S2. Obtain the map segment where the location is located, and divide the map segment into quadrants; wherein, the map segment is a sub-map of the game map;

[0044] S3. Determine the quadrant region where the location is located, and load the map tiles adjacent to the quadrant region.

[0045] It is understood that the display interface refers to the screen interface of the electronic device used by the user when logging into the game.

[0046] It is understandable that, such as Figure 2 As shown, each square represents a map tile, and each number indicates the corresponding quadrant. In this embodiment of the invention, there are exactly three map tiles adjacent to each quadrant region. For example, when it is determined that the center point of the display interface is in the second quadrant, the three map tiles adjacent to the second quadrant are loaded. These adjacent map tiles are the three map tiles pointed to by the arrow. Therefore, this embodiment of the invention only needs to load the three map tiles adjacent to the quadrant region, eliminating the need to load nine map tiles at once, greatly saving memory and reducing the number of system read / write operations, and significantly improving efficiency. Moreover, by pre-loading the map tiles required for the next game map operation, stuttering and frame drops in the display interface are avoided, and it is ensured that the display interface does not go black when moving to the boundary of a map tile.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the map tiles are obtained through the following steps:

[0048] The game map is cut into several map blocks of the same size; wherein, the length H of the map block satisfies the following relationship: H / 2 is greater than the length of the display interface, and H / 2 is greater than the preset maximum screen movement distance in a single operation; the width W of the map block satisfies the following relationship: W / 2 is greater than the width of the display interface, and W / 2 is greater than the preset maximum screen movement distance in a single operation.

[0049] It is understandable that the maximum screen movement distance in a single instance is the maximum distance that the game map displayed on the screen can be moved in a single instance.

[0050] It is worth noting that when the length H of the map tile satisfies the following relationship: H / 2 is greater than the length of the display interface and H / 2 is greater than the preset maximum single screen movement distance, and the width W of the map tile satisfies the following relationship: W / 2 is greater than the width of the display interface and W / 2 is greater than the preset maximum single screen movement distance, it can be ensured that there is enough data to support the display during the movement of the display interface, and there will be no data loss.

[0051] In yet another optional embodiment, the game map chunk loading method further includes:

[0052] At the end of each game map movement operation, the map tile currently displayed on the display interface is cached in the cache.

[0053] Then, loading the map tiles adjacent to the quadrant region further includes:

[0054] When it is determined that the cache contains map tiles adjacent to the quadrant region, the remaining map tiles adjacent to the quadrant region are loaded.

[0055] In this embodiment of the invention, the map tiles used in the current mobile game map operation are first cached in a cache, which can directly provide the required map tiles for the next mobile game map operation, reducing the number of maps loaded. Specifically, the map tiles displayed on the display interface at the end of the current mobile game map operation are cached in a cache. Then, when preloading the map for the next mobile game map operation (i.e., when executing step S3), it is determined whether the cache contains map tiles adjacent to the quadrant area. If so, the cached map tiles are used directly, while the remaining map tiles adjacent to the quadrant area are loaded. Thus, this embodiment of the invention, combined with the caching mechanism, can achieve the effect of refreshing the game map by loading only 0, 2, or 3 map tiles at a time, greatly improving efficiency.

[0056] In yet another alternative embodiment, the position of the center point of the display interface on the game map is obtained through the following steps:

[0057] A first planar rectangular coordinate system is established with the upper left corner of the game map as the first origin, the ray that passes through the first origin and extends to the right as the X-axis, and the ray that passes through the first origin and extends downward as the Y-axis.

[0058] Based on the first planar rectangular coordinate system, the coordinates of the center point of the display interface on the center point of the game map are obtained.

[0059] Specifically, the map tile where the location is located is obtained through the following steps;

[0060] The X-axis coordinate of the center point is divided by the width of the map tile, and the Y-axis coordinate of the center point is divided by the length of the map tile to obtain the tile coordinates of the map tile where the center point is located; wherein, the tile coordinates of the map tile in the nth row and mth column are represented as (n-1, m-1).

[0061] Based on the block coordinates, obtain the map block where the center point coordinates are located.

[0062] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a second Cartesian coordinate system is established with the upper left corner of the game map as the first origin, the ray extending to the right from the first origin as the X-axis, and the ray extending downward from the first origin as the Y-axis. The entire 200*200 game map is divided into 16 map blocks of L*L=50*50, and the block coordinates of the map blocks are marked. Among them, the block coordinates are marked according to the row and column number of the map block, and the block coordinates are marked as (n-1, m-1).

[0063] Understandably, the quotient operation refers to obtaining the quotient obtained by dividing the dividend by the divisor. Dividing the X-axis coordinate of the center point by the width of the map tile (50) yields the quotient X / L; dividing the Y-axis coordinate of the center point by the length of the map tile (50) yields the quotient Y / L. The quotient of X / L and the quotient of Y / L represent the tile coordinates of the map tile where the center point is located. For example, if the center point coordinates (X, Y) are (49, 50), then the quotient of 49 / 50 is 0, and the quotient of 50 / 50 is 1. Therefore, the tile coordinates of the map tile where the center point is located are (0, 1).

[0064] Specifically, the quadrant division of the map blocks includes:

[0065] A second Cartesian coordinate system is established using any vertex of the map segment as the second origin;

[0066] Based on the second Cartesian coordinate system, the map is divided into four quadrant regions.

[0067] Specifically, the quadrant region where the location is situated is determined through the following steps:

[0068] Based on the preset quadrant determination rules corresponding to the first plane rectangular coordinate system, the quadrant region where the position is located is determined according to the coordinates of the center point and the block coordinates.

[0069] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, a Cartesian coordinate system is established with any vertex of a map tile as the origin and the ray extending from the origin to the side length of the map tile as the X-axis / Y-axis. There are eight possible Cartesian coordinate systems, corresponding to eight preset quadrant determination rules:
