[0063] In some embodiments, the level processing device in the virtual scene provided by the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in software.

These modules are logical and can be arbitrarily combined or further split according to the functions implemented. The functions of each module will be explained below.

[0064] The following describes the level processing method in the virtual scene provided by the embodiment of the present application. As mentioned above, the level processing method in the virtual scene provided by the embodiment of the present application is implemented by an electronic device, for example, it can be implemented by a server or a terminal alone, or it can be implemented by a server and a terminal in collaboration. Therefore, the execution body of each step will not be repeated below. Figure 3A , Figure 3A : is a flow chart of a method for processing a level in a virtual scene provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method for processing a level in a virtual scene provided by an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0065] Step 101: For each level operation in the target level, based on the element occlusion relationship and element state of each element in the multiple elements of the level operation, determine the operation cost parameter of each element of the level operation.

[0066] In actual applications, electronic devices can run computer programs that support virtual scenes. The computer program can be a client that needs to be installed in the operating system to run, or it can be a small program that can be embedded in any client, that is, a program that only needs to be downloaded to the browser environment to run, or it can be a web application that runs in the browser through the Internet.

[0067] In practical applications, the virtual scene provided by the embodiments of the present application can be a digital environment constructed in an elimination game. The virtual scene generally includes one or more of the following features: 1) Game Grid: This is the core component of the virtual scene, usually composed of a series of cells arranged in rows and columns, in which players manipulate elements to complete elimination tasks. 2) Visual Design: This includes the design and animation effects of the background, foreground, and elements of the virtual scene, as well as the use of light, shadow, and color, aiming to create an attractive visual experience. 3) Interactive Interface: This provides players with ways to interact with the game, such as swiping and clicking on a touch screen or using a keyboard and mouse to control the elements in the game. 4) Game Elements: The elements in this article refer to various operable objects in the game, such as gems, fruits, or other symbols of different colors and shapes, which players need to match and eliminate according to the rules of the game. 5) Objective Setting: The virtual scene includes at least one level, and each level may have a specific objective, such as reaching a certain score, clearing all specific elements, completing a certain number of eliminations, or eliminating all elements in the level. 6) Narrative: In some games, virtual scenes incorporate story elements to provide players with game context and plot development. 7) Sound and Music: Virtual scenes are often accompanied by music and sound effects to enhance the game's atmosphere and interactivity. Therefore, the definition of a virtual scene provided in the embodiments of this application is: a digital environment designed for elimination games that combines visual art, interactive design, and game mechanics to create an interactive experience in which players can perform matching and elimination operations.

[0068] It should be noted that the above virtual scene includes at least one level, which is sequential. Usually, a player needs to pass a level before entering the next level. Figure 4 , Figure 4: This is a display diagram of the level operation interface provided by an embodiment of the present application. Here, for each level, a corresponding level operation interface is provided, which includes an operation area and a display area. The operation area displays elements to be eliminated. Players can operate elements in the operation area (such as clicking on elements). After the player operates an element in the operation area, the operated element will move from the operation area to the display area. When the elements in the display area meet the element elimination conditions (such as the number of elements with the same identifier (such as pattern, color, etc.) reaches the target number (such as 3)), the elements that meet the element elimination conditions will be eliminated from the level operation interface. For example, when there are 3 elements with the same identifier (such as pattern, color, etc.) in the display area, since the 3 elements with the same identifier meet the element elimination conditions, the 3 elements with the same identifier are eliminated from the level operation interface. In one example, the display area can include a set number (such as 6) of element display positions, each element display position is used to display an element moved from the operation area. When the element display positions in the display area are all occupied, the level fails. Each operation performed by the player in a level is a level operation. To pass a level, the player needs to perform multiple level operations in sequence in the level operation interface. Specifically, each level operation is an operation on an element (such as clicking). Each level operation is completed under the current situation of the level operation interface. Therefore, the multiple elements of the level operation are: the multiple elements that exist in the current situation for performing the level operation.

[0069] In step 101, the following processing is performed for each level operation in the target level: first, the element occlusion relationship and element state of each of the multiple elements of the level operation are obtained, and then, based on the element occlusion relationship and element state of each of the multiple elements of the level operation, an operation cost parameter of each element of the level operation is determined. The operation cost parameter of an element indicates the number of operations (such as click operations on the element's covered elements, move operations, etc.) required to control the element to be in an operable state (i.e., a state where the player can directly click on it).

[0070] In some embodiments, see Figure 3BBefore determining the operation cost parameters of each element of the level operation in the target level based on the element occlusion relationship and element status of each element in the multiple elements of the level operation, the following steps 201-204 may be further performed: Step 201, simulate the operation process of the target level multiple times to obtain a level simulation result for each simulation; Step 202, evaluate each level simulation result to obtain an evaluation index value for each level simulation result; Step 203, select a target level simulation result whose evaluation index value meets the fourth selection condition from the multiple level simulation results; Step 204, obtain the element occlusion relationship and element status of each element of each level operation in the target level from the target level simulation result.

[0071] Here, when determining the level difficulty parameters of the target level, the target level's operational process (i.e., the level operations sequentially executed in the target level) can be simulated, thereby analyzing the target level's level difficulty parameters based on the level simulation results. Therefore, in step 201, the target level's operational process is first simulated multiple times to obtain the level simulation results for each simulation. The number of simulations can be a set number pre-set based on experience, or it can be a number of simulations performed when a simulation end condition is met (e.g., the simulation duration reaches a preset duration). In practical applications, the simulation process can be implemented using a Monte Carlo algorithm. During the simulation, the target level's level rules can be incorporated to accelerate the simulation process and improve simulation efficiency. The level simulation results for each simulation are the simulated operational process for the target level, i.e., the level operations sequentially executed in the target level.

[0072] In step 202, each level simulation result is evaluated to obtain an evaluation index value for each level simulation result. Here, evaluation indexes for evaluating the level simulation results can be pre-set. For example, such evaluation indexes may include, but are not limited to, whether the level is passed, whether the level is won, level difficulty parameters, level scores, and the like. Based on the evaluation indexes, each level simulation result is evaluated to obtain an evaluation index value for each level simulation result. For example, taking the level difficulty parameter as the evaluation index, the level difficulty parameter for each level simulation result can be determined according to the method provided in the embodiments of this application. The level difficulty parameter is the evaluation index value for each level simulation result.

[0073] In step 203, based on the evaluation index values ​​of each level simulation result, a target level simulation result whose evaluation index value satisfies a fourth selection condition can be selected from the multiple level simulation results. For example, taking the evaluation index as the level score, the fourth selection condition can be selecting the level simulation result with the highest level score as the target level simulation result. For example, taking the evaluation index as the level difficulty parameter, the fourth selection condition can be selecting the level simulation result with the lowest level difficulty parameter as the target level simulation result. In practical applications, the level difficulty parameter can be represented by the level selection clarity. The selection clarity indicates the difficulty of selecting the element to be operated (e.g., the element to be clicked) when the player performs a level operation in the level. The higher the selection clarity, the lower the difficulty of selecting the element to be operated. Therefore, the higher the selection clarity, the lower the level difficulty parameter. Therefore, selecting the level simulation result with the lowest level difficulty parameter as the target level simulation result is equivalent to selecting the level simulation result with the highest selection clarity as the target level simulation result.

[0074] In step 204, after the target level simulation result is selected and obtained, the level difficulty parameter of the target level is determined based on the target level simulation result. Therefore, the element occlusion relationship and element state of each element in each level operation in the target level are obtained from the target level simulation result. Then, steps 101 to 105 provided in the embodiment of the present application are executed based on the obtained element occlusion relationship and element state of each element in each level operation in the target level to obtain the level difficulty parameter of the target level.

[0075] Based on steps 201-204 above, multiple simulations are performed on the target level, and target level simulation results that meet the fourth selection condition are selected based on the level simulation results. The target level difficulty is then subsequently analyzed based on the target level simulation results. By simulating each level operation in the target level multiple times, the difficulty of each level operation during the operation process (i.e., each level operation in the target level) can be dynamically adjusted based on the element elimination path (i.e., each level operation that has been executed) and the current state of the level operation interface. This makes the level more adaptable, achieves more granular and multi-dimensional level difficulty control, increases the challenge and fun of the virtual scene, and enhances the user's immersion in the virtual scene. Multiple simulations also improve the efficiency of determining level difficulty parameters, eliminating the need for developers to actually experience the difficulty of the generated level before modifying it. This improves level development efficiency, reduces the trial-and-error time and cycle time during level design, and optimizes and improves the efficiency of level generation and updating.

[0076] In some embodiments, the element occlusion relationship of the element indicates at least one occluding element of the occluding element; based on this, based on the element occlusion relationship and element state of each element in the plurality of elements of the level operation, the operation cost parameter of each element of the level operation can be determined by performing the following steps: Figure 3C , steps 301 to 303 can be performed for each of the multiple elements of the level operation to obtain the operation cost parameter of each element: step 301, determining the element identifier of each occluding element of the element, and for each element identifier, retaining a target occluding element with the element identifier from at least one occluding element; step 302, determining the number of target occluding elements as the basic operation cost parameter of the element; step 303, adjusting the basic operation cost parameter of the element based on the element state of the element to obtain the operation cost parameter of the element.

[0077] For step 301, since the element occlusion relationship of the element indicates at least one occluding element that occludes the element, at least one occluding element that occludes the element can be determined based on the element occlusion relationship of the element. For example, the element occlusion relationship of each element can be analyzed layer by layer from the highest layer downward to obtain an occlusion element set for each element. The occlusion element set of an element includes: at least one occlusion element that occludes the element and is indicated by the element occlusion relationship of the element. For example, for element A, if element A is directly occluded by element B, element B is added to the occlusion element set of element A, and all occlusion elements of element B are also added to the occlusion element set of element A, and finally the occlusion element set of element A is obtained. When determining the operating cost parameters of an element, the element identifiers of each occluding element are first determined. This element identifier serves as a sub-condition of the element removal condition. Specifically, when an element satisfies the element removal condition, it is removed from the current state of the level operation interface. Elements that satisfy the element removal condition must also satisfy the sub-condition of having the same element identifier. Specifically, if other sub-conditions of the element removal condition (e.g., a set number of elements with the same element identifier (e.g., three)) are also met, the element is removed from the current state of the level operation interface. This element identifier may include, but is not limited to, the element's pattern (e.g., fruit, animal, or food), color (e.g., red, yellow, purple, or blue), shape (e.g., triangle, circle, or square), and so on. Then, for each element identifier, a target occluding element with that element identifier is retained from at least one occluding element. Thus, for each element identifier, a target occluding element with that element identifier is retained.

[0078] In step 302, the number of target occlusion elements is determined, and the number of target occlusion elements is determined as the basic operation cost parameter of the element. For example, if the number of target occlusion elements is 3, then the basic operation cost parameter of the element is 3.

[0079] In step 303 , the element state of the element is obtained, and the basic operation cost parameter of the element is adjusted according to the element state of the element to obtain the operation cost parameter of the element.

[0080] Based on the above steps 301 to 303, the calculation of the element's operation cost parameters is realized based on the element's element occlusion relationship and element status, so that the level difficulty parameters can be calculated based on the element's operation cost parameters in the future. It can effectively analyze the complex element occlusion relationship and the influence of the element status on the level difficulty parameters, improve the accuracy and rationality of the level difficulty parameters, thereby avoiding the problem of poor virtual scene experience due to unreasonable level difficulty setting, providing a more accurate and appropriate level difficulty design, and improving the experience of the virtual scene.

[0081] In some embodiments, based on the element state of the element, the basic operating cost parameter of the element can be adjusted by performing the following steps to obtain the operating cost parameter of the element: if the element state represents that the element is bound to at least one bound element, based on the number of bound elements, the basic operating cost parameter of the element is adjusted to obtain the operating cost parameter of the element; if the element state represents that the element enters an operable state when its adjacent elements are eliminated, based on the operating cost parameters of the adjacent elements, the basic operating cost parameter of the element is adjusted to obtain the operating cost parameter of the element; if the element state represents that the element is in a state to be eliminated, the basic operating cost parameter of the element is adjusted to a first value, and the first value is determined as the operating cost parameter of the element; if the element state represents that the target level fails when the element is triggered, the basic operating cost parameter of the element is adjusted to a second value, and the second value is determined as the operating cost parameter of the element; if the element state represents that the processing priority of the element is higher than the target priority, the basic operating cost parameter of the element is adjusted to a third value, and the third value is determined as the operating cost parameter of the element.

[0082] Here, (1) if the element state represents that the element is bound to at least one binding element, then based on the number of binding elements, the basic operation cost parameter of the element is adjusted to obtain the operation cost parameter of the element. It should be noted that when an element is bound to at least one binding element, if you want to operate (such as click, move) the element, at least one binding element bound to the element must also be in an operable state (such as a movable state, a clickable state). Therefore, the operation cost parameter of the element can be: the sum of the basic operation cost parameter and the number of binding elements. For example, if an element is forcibly bound to one binding element (that is, two elements are forcibly bound), then the operation cost parameter of the element = basic operation cost parameter + 1; similarly, the operation cost parameter of another binding element = basic operation cost parameter + 1.

[0083] (2) If the element state represents that the element enters an operable state when its adjacent elements are eliminated, then the basic operation cost parameter of the element is adjusted based on the operation cost parameter of the adjacent elements. It should be noted that when an element needs to enter an operable state (such as a movable state or a clickable state) after its adjacent elements are eliminated, then the basic operation cost parameter of the element is adjusted based on the operation cost parameter of the adjacent elements to obtain the operation cost parameter of the element. The operation cost parameter of the element can be: the sum of the basic operation cost parameter of the element and the operation cost parameter of the adjacent elements. For example, in an elimination game, such as grass, chains, etc., the element can only be unlocked (i.e., enter an operable state) after its adjacent elements are eliminated. Then, when operating the element in this element state, the operation cost parameter of the adjacent elements needs to be considered. Therefore, the operation cost parameter of the element in the element state = the basic operation cost parameter of the element + the operation cost parameter of the adjacent elements.

[0084] (3) If the element state characterizes that the element is in a state to be eliminated, the basic operation cost parameter of the element is adjusted to a first value, and the first value is determined as the operation cost parameter of the element. Since the level operation interface includes an operation area and a display area, and when the elements in the display area meet the element elimination conditions (for example, the number of elements with the same identification (such as pattern, color, etc.) reaches the target number (such as 3)), the elements that meet the element elimination conditions are eliminated from the level operation interface. Therefore, when the element is in the display area, it is considered that the element is in a state to be eliminated. When the element is in a state to be eliminated, there is no need to operate the element anymore, so the basic operation cost parameter of the element is adjusted to a first value, and the first value can be 0, so that the first value is determined as the operation cost parameter of the element. In this way, the operation cost parameters are also calculated for the elements in the display area, which can facilitate unified management during subsequent processing.

[0085] (4) If the element state represents that the target level fails when the element is triggered, the basic operation cost parameter of the element is adjusted to a second value, and the second value is determined as the operation cost parameter of the element. If operating an element causes the target level to fail, the basic operation cost parameter of the element is adjusted to a second value. The first value can be infinite, and the second value is determined as the operation cost parameter of the element. That is, if the movement of an element causes the level to fail, the operation cost parameter of the element is set to infinite.

[0086] (5) If the element state represents that the processing priority of the element is higher than the target priority, the basic operating cost parameter of the element is adjusted to a third value, and the third value is determined as the operating cost parameter of the element. The target priority can be pre-set, and the processing priority of the element can also be pre-set. If the processing priority of the element is higher than the target priority, such as a virtual bomb element that is about to explode, a virtual wooden door element that is about to close, a double-sided card element that is about to flip, etc., then the basic operating cost parameter of the element needs to be adjusted to a third value, such as the minimum value of the operating cost parameter, which can be pre-set, and then the third value is determined as the operating cost parameter of the element.

[0087] (6) If the element state characterizing the element does not belong to the element state described in (1)-(5) above, then the basic operation cost parameter of the element is determined as the operation cost parameter of the element.

[0088] In this way, by determining the operation cost parameters of the elements according to the element states of the elements, it is convenient to expand the element states of the levels in the virtual scene, improve the scalability and flexibility of the level design in the virtual scene, thereby improving the development efficiency of the levels in the virtual scene and reducing the development cost.

[0089] Step 102: For each level operation, determine an elimination element group of the level operation based on the operation cost parameter of each element of the level operation.

[0090] The elimination element group includes at least two elements among the multiple elements, and when all the elements included in the elimination element group are triggered, the elimination element group is eliminated.

[0091] In step 102, for each level operation, the following processing is performed: based on the operation cost parameters of each element of the level operation, an elimination element group for the level operation is determined from multiple elements of the level operation. The elimination element group includes at least two elements from the multiple elements; when each element in the elimination element group is triggered, for example, when each element in each elimination element group is clicked and moved to the display area of ​​the level operation interface, each element in the elimination element group is eliminated from the level operation interface.

[0092] In some embodiments, see Figure 3D Based on the operation cost parameters of each element of the level operation, the elimination element group of the level operation can be determined by executing steps 401 to 404: Step 401, determining visible elements in a visible state from multiple elements of the level operation, and dividing the same visible elements into the same visible element group to obtain at least one visible element group; Step 402, determining a first visible element group from the at least one visible element group, and the number of visible elements in the first visible element group is greater than or equal to a target number; Step 403, constructing a second visible element group based on the operation cost parameters of the visible elements in the first visible element group, and the number of visible elements in the second visible element group is equal to the target number; Step 404, determining the elimination element group of the level operation from the second visible element group based on the operation cost parameters of the visible elements in the second visible element group.

[0093] In step 401, first, visible elements in a visible state are determined from the multiple elements of the level operation. That is, only elements in a visible state can be added to the elimination element group. The visible state includes a fully visible state and a partially visible state. There are multiple visible elements. Then, the visible elements are divided. That is, the same visible elements are divided into the same visible element group, thereby obtaining at least one visible element group. Each visible element group includes at least one visible element.

[0094] In step 402, the number of visible elements in each visible element group is determined, and based on the number of visible elements in each visible element group, a first visible element group is determined from the at least one visible element group, wherein the number of visible elements in the first visible element group is greater than or equal to a target number. The number of the first visible element group is at least one. The target number can be preset, for example, the target number can be 3.

[0095] For step 403, after obtaining the first visible element group, for each first visible element group, a second visible element group corresponding to the first visible element group is created. Specifically, based on the operation cost parameters of the visible elements in the first visible element group, a second visible element group corresponding to the first visible element group is constructed, and the number of visible elements in the second visible element group is equal to the target number. In some embodiments, step 403 "constructing the second visible element group based on the operation cost parameters of the visible elements in the first visible element group" can be achieved by performing the following steps: if the number of visible elements in the first visible element group is equal to the target number, the first visible element group is determined as the second visible element group; if the number of visible elements in the first visible element group is greater than the target number, the target number of target visible elements whose operation cost parameters meet the first selection condition are selected from the first visible element group, and the target visible elements are combined to obtain the second visible element group.

[0096] Here, if the number of visible elements in the first visible element group is equal to the target number, the first visible element group can be directly determined as the second visible element group; if the number of visible elements in the first visible element group is greater than the target number, then the target number of target visible elements whose operation cost parameters meet the first selection condition are selected from the first visible element group. For example, the visible elements in the first visible element group can be sorted in ascending order according to the operation cost parameter to obtain an ascending sorting result, then the first selection condition can be: based on the ascending sorting result, the target number of visible elements that are ranked first are selected as target visible elements. It should be noted that if it is found that the operation cost parameters of multiple visible elements are the same during the selection process (for example, there are 3 visible elements ranked second), then the visible elements that are associated with the selected visible elements are preferentially selected as target visible elements. The association here means that the two visible elements have a common dependent element, for example, the dependent element can be a common occluding element of the two visible elements.

[0097] Regarding step 404, after the second visible element group is constructed, an elimination element group for the level operation is determined from the second visible element group based on the operation cost parameters of the visible elements in the second visible element group. In some embodiments, step 404, "Determining the elimination element group for the level operation from the second visible element group based on the operation cost parameters of the visible elements in the second visible element group," can be implemented by performing the following steps: determining element operation weights of the visible elements in the second visible element group based on the operation cost parameters of the visible elements in the second visible element group, wherein the element operation weights and the operation cost parameters are negatively correlated, and the element operation weights indicate the likelihood of the visible elements being triggered; summing the element operation weights of the visible elements in the second visible element group to obtain a group operation weight for the second visible element group; and selecting, from the second visible element group, a target second visible element group whose group operation weight meets a second selection condition, and using the target second visible element group as the elimination element group.

[0098] Here, first, based on the operation cost parameters of the visible elements in the second visible element group, the element operation weights of the visible elements in the second visible element group are determined. The element operation weights and the operation cost parameters are negatively correlated, meaning that the higher the operation cost parameter, the smaller the element operation weight. The element operation weights indicate the likelihood of a visible element being triggered; the larger the element operation weight, the higher the likelihood of the visible element being triggered. This means that when a player operates, they can select the element with the highest element operation weight. A mapping relationship can be pre-set between the operation cost parameters of the visible elements and their corresponding element operation weights, such that the element operation weights and the operation cost parameters are negatively correlated. This mapping relationship can be pre-set as needed and is not limited here. After obtaining the element operation weights of the visible elements in the second visible element group, the element operation weights of the visible elements in the second visible element group are summed to obtain the group operation weight of the second visible element group. Based on the group operation weights of the second visible element group, a target second visible element group whose group operation weights meet the second selection condition is selected from the second visible element group, and the target second visible element group is selected as the elimination element group. For example, the second selection condition may be: selecting the second visible element group with the largest group operation weight as the target second visible element group.

[0099] Based on the above steps 401 to 404, based on the operation cost parameters of each element of the level operation, the selection of the element group is eliminated, so as to facilitate the subsequent determination of the operable elements of the level operation and the calculation of the level difficulty parameters, thereby improving the accuracy and rationality of the level difficulty parameters, thereby avoiding the problem of poor virtual scene experience due to unreasonable level difficulty settings, providing a more accurate and appropriate level difficulty design, and improving the experience of the virtual scene.

[0100] Step 103: For each level operation, determine the operable elements of the level operation from the elimination element group of the level operation and the elements associated with the elimination element group.

[0101] In step 103, the following process is performed for each level operation: First, the elements associated with the elimination element group are determined. Specifically, the elements associated with the elimination element group are the elements associated with the elements in the elimination element group. Association here means that if multiple elements share a common dependent element, then these multiple elements are associated. For example, the dependent element may be a common occluding element for multiple elements. Then, the operable elements for the level operation are determined from the elements in the elimination element group and the elements associated with the elimination element group.

[0102] In some embodiments, the operable elements of the level operation can be determined from the elimination element group of the level operation and the elements associated with the elimination element group by performing the following steps: the elements in the elimination element group and the elements associated with the elimination element group are taken as candidate operable elements; based on the operation cost parameters of the candidate operable elements, the element operation weight of the candidate operable elements is determined, and there is a negative correlation between the element operation weight and the operation cost parameter, and the element operation weight indicates the possibility of the candidate operable element being selected as the operable element; from the candidate operable elements, a target candidate operable element whose element operation weight meets the third selection condition is selected, and the target candidate operable element is used as the operable element.

[0103] Here, first, for the sake of convenience of description, the elements in the element group and the elements associated with the element group are eliminated as candidate operable elements; then, based on the operation cost parameters of the candidate operable elements, the element operation weight of the candidate operable elements is determined, and the element operation weight and the operation cost parameter are negatively correlated, that is, the higher the operation cost parameter, the smaller the element operation weight. The element operation weight indicates the possibility of the candidate operable element being selected as an operable element (i.e., the triggered element). The larger the element operation weight, the higher the possibility of the candidate operable element being selected as an operable element. A mapping relationship can be pre-set between the operation cost parameters of the candidate operable elements and the corresponding element operation weight, and the mapping relationship can make the element operation weight and the operation cost parameter negatively correlated. The mapping relationship can be pre-set as needed and is not limited here. After obtaining the element operation weight of the candidate operable element, based on the element operation weight of the candidate operable element, a target candidate operable element whose element operation weight meets the third selection condition is selected from the candidate operable elements, and the target candidate operable element is used as the operable element. For example, the third selection condition may be: selecting a candidate operable element with the largest group operation weight as the target candidate operable element.

[0104] It should be noted that the operable elements of the level operation are the elements to be operated in this level operation. A level operation is completed by operating an operable element (for example, the operable element with the largest operable element operation weight).

[0105] Step 104: Determine the operation difficulty parameter of each level operation based on the operation cost parameter of the operable elements of each level operation.

[0106] In step 104, for each level operation, the following processing is performed: according to the operation cost parameter of the operable element of the level operation, an operation difficulty parameter of the level operation is determined. The operation difficulty parameter indicates the difficulty of the level operation.

[0107] In some embodiments, there are multiple operable elements for each level operation; based on this, based on the operation cost parameters of the operable elements for each level operation, the operation difficulty parameters of each level operation can be determined by executing the following steps: for each level operation, the following processing is performed respectively: based on the operation cost parameters of each operable element for the level operation, the element operation weight of each operable element is determined, and there is a negative correlation between the element operation weight and the operation cost parameter, and the element operation weight indicates the possibility of the operable element being triggered; determine the weight difference between the element operation weights; based on the weight difference, determine the operation difficulty parameter of the level operation, and there is a negative correlation between the operation difficulty parameter and the weight difference.

[0108] Here, each level operation has multiple operable elements. Thus, when determining the operational difficulty parameter for each level operation, the following process is performed for each level operation: First, based on the operational cost parameter of each operable element in the level operation, an element operation weight is determined for each operable element. The element operation weight and the operation cost parameter are negatively correlated, i.e., the higher the operation cost parameter, the smaller the element operation weight. The element operation weight indicates the likelihood of the operable element being triggered. The larger the element operation weight, the higher the likelihood of the operable element being triggered. In other words, when operating, the player can select the element with the highest operation weight. A mapping relationship can be pre-set between the operation cost parameters of the operable elements and the corresponding element operation weights. This mapping relationship can be configured to create a negative correlation between the element operation weight and the operation cost parameter. This mapping relationship can be pre-set as needed and is not limited here. Then, a weight difference between the element operation weights is determined. Based on this weight difference, the operational difficulty parameter for the level operation is determined. The operational difficulty parameter and the weight difference are negatively correlated, i.e., the larger the weight difference, the smaller the operation difficulty parameter.

[0109] In some embodiments, the operation difficulty parameter can also be represented by the selection clarity of the level operation. The selection clarity indicates the difficulty of the player selecting the operable elements to be operated (such as the elements to be clicked) when performing the level operation. The higher the selection clarity, the lower the difficulty of selecting the operable elements to be operated. Therefore, the higher the selection clarity, the lower the operation difficulty parameter.

[0110] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 5The following is a schematic diagram of a level operation interface provided by an embodiment of the present application. Here, for each element in the current state of the level operation interface, its element operation weight is labeled, such as 53, 40, 52, and so on. The element operation weight indicates the likelihood of a visible element being triggered. The larger the element operation weight, the higher the likelihood of the visible element being triggered. In other words, when operating, the player can select the element with the highest operation weight.

[0111] Step 105: Determine the level difficulty parameter of the target level based on the operation difficulty parameters of each level operation.

[0112] In step 105, the operation difficulty parameters of each level operation in the target level may be added together to obtain the level difficulty parameter of the target level. Alternatively, a corresponding level operation weight may be set for each level operation, and then based on the level operation weight of each level operation, the operation difficulty parameters of each level operation in the target level may be weighted to obtain the level difficulty parameter of the target level. The level difficulty parameter indicates the difficulty of the target level.

[0113] In some embodiments, when the operation difficulty parameter is represented by the selection clarity of the level operation, the selection clarity of each level operation in the target level can be added to obtain the level selection clarity of the target level, and then the level difficulty parameter of the target level can be determined based on the level selection clarity. That is, there is a negative correlation between the level difficulty parameter and the level selection clarity. The higher the level selection clarity, the lower the level difficulty parameter.

[0114] Applying the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, first, for each level operation in the target level, based on the element occlusion relationship and element status of each element among the multiple elements of the level operation, an operation cost parameter of each element of the level operation is determined; then, for each level operation, based on the operation cost parameters of each element of the level operation, an elimination element group of the level operation is determined; then, for each level operation, from the elimination element group of the level operation and the elements associated with the elimination element group, an operable element of the level operation is determined; then, based on the operation cost parameters of the operable elements of each level operation, an operation difficulty parameter of each level operation is determined; thereby, based on the operation difficulty parameters of each level operation, the level difficulty parameter of the target level is determined.

[0115] In this way, 1) based on the element occlusion relationship and element state of the element, the operation cost parameter of the element is determined, thereby realizing the determination of the level difficulty parameter based on the operation cost parameter of the element, which can effectively analyze the complex element occlusion relationship and the influence of the element state on the level difficulty parameter, thereby improving the accuracy and rationality of the level difficulty parameter; 2) by determining the operation difficulty parameters of each level operation in the target level, a more fine-grained level difficulty control is achieved, thereby further improving the accuracy and rationality of the level difficulty parameter. In summary, through the embodiments of the present application, the problem of poor virtual scene experience due to unreasonable level difficulty setting can be avoided, a more accurate and appropriate level difficulty design is provided, and the experience of the virtual scene is improved.

[0116] The following continues to describe the exemplary structure of the level processing device 555 in the virtual scene provided by the embodiment of the present application implemented as a software module.
