[0096] Figure 2 The figure shows a schematic diagram of a method for selecting a virtual level provided by an exemplary embodiment of this application.

[0097] The first interface 310 is a preparation interface before entering the virtual level. The switching control 402 in the first interface provides a function entry to jump to the difficulty selection interface. Exemplarily, in response to the click operation 402a of the switching control 402, the second interface 320 is displayed, and the difficulty selection interface 320a of the virtual level is displayed in the form of a pop-up window in the second interface 320.

[0098] Optionally, the virtual items 403a equipped by the player character controlled by the account logged in to the terminal are also displayed in the first interface 310; the friend virtual characters 403b who enter the virtual level together in a team. It can be seen that the types of virtual items 403a can be one or more, and the number of friend virtual characters 403b can be one or more.

[0099] The difficulty selection interface 320a provides three levels of difficulty for the level: normal, difficult, and very difficult; each level of difficulty has a corresponding virtual character. Specifically, the normal difficulty corresponds to the ingot character 410, the difficult level corresponds to the cloud character 420, and the very difficult level corresponds to the star character 430.

[0100] In the difficulty selection interface 320a, in response to the trigger operation 410a for the normal difficulty, the facial expression of the ingot character 410 corresponding to the normal difficulty shows a happy emotion; the facial expression of the cloud character 420 corresponding to the difficult level shows a sad emotion, and the facial expression of the star character 430 corresponding to the very difficult level shows a fierce emotion.

[0101] In an optional example, the selected normal difficulty can have a larger display size in the difficulty selection interface 320a than the unselected difficult and very difficult difficulties; by means of enlarged display, the visual salience of the selected normal difficulty in the difficulty selection interface is further enhanced, which is conducive to highlighting the ingot character showing a happy emotion.

[0102] Exemplarily, the difficulty selection interface 320a also provides a confirmation control 404 and a cancel control 406; in response to the trigger operation for the confirmation control 404, the virtual environment corresponding to the virtual level is displayed with the normal difficulty. In response to the trigger operation for the cancel control 406, it jumps back to the first interface 310.

[0103] Figure 3 The flowchart of the selection method of the virtual level provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. Taking the method as being executed by the terminal as an example for description. The method includes:

[0104] Step 510: Display the difficulty selection interface of the virtual level;

[0105] The virtual level includes at least two levels of difficulty, and different levels of difficulty have different requirements for the skills to control the player character to perform virtual activities in the virtual environment. Exemplarily, in different levels of difficulty, at least one of the following corresponds: at least one difference in the type, virtual attributes, and quantity of cooperative virtual characters and / or hostile virtual characters; at least one difference in the type, virtual attributes, virtual items carried, and / or virtual skills of the player character to be controlled; the virtual terrain and / or virtual climate of the virtual environment are different.

[0106] The difficulty selection interface includes at least two virtual characters, and the at least two virtual characters correspond one-to-one with at least two levels of difficulty of the virtual level;

[0107] The difficulty selection interface is used to provide a function entry for the virtual level of the above at least two levels of difficulty. The difficulty selection interface can be implemented as at least one of a full-screen interface, a pop-up window, a pop-up card, a floating window, and a bubble message. The present application does not limit the display method of the difficulty selection interface.

[0108] Step 520: In response to a selection operation for the first level of difficulty among at least two levels of difficulty, display that the first virtual character corresponding to the first level of difficulty presents a first emotion;

[0109] The first level of difficulty is any one of the above at least two levels of difficulty; the selection operation for the first level of difficulty can be a trigger operation on the corresponding first virtual character or a trigger operation on the text control of the first level of difficulty in the difficulty selection interface. The present application does not limit this.

[0110] The first emotion is used to express the emotional feedback of the first virtual character after the first level of difficulty is selected. Exemplarily, the first emotion is presented in a multimedia manner, such as at least one of displaying pictures, stickers, cutscenes, and playing audio. The present application does not limit the type of the first emotion. Exemplarily, the first emotion is a positive emotion (happy, excited, etc.), a negative emotion (sad, annoyed, fierce, etc.), a neutral emotion (peaceful emotion), a caring emotion (encouraging, worried, etc.), and it does not exclude the case of being implemented as other emotions. In an optional example, the first virtual character is a virtual character in the virtual level. Further, the first virtual character can be a two-dimensional image obtained by cartoonizing the virtual character in the virtual level.

[0111] Step 530: In response to a confirmation operation for the first level of difficulty and / or the virtual level, display the virtual environment corresponding to the first level of difficulty in the virtual level;

[0112] Exemplarily, in response to a confirmation operation for the first level difficulty, a jump is made from the difficulty selection interface to a virtual environment, which is the virtual environment corresponding to the first level difficulty. At least one of the non-player characters, virtual items, virtual terrain, and virtual climate in the virtual environment is deployed based on the first level difficulty corresponding to the first virtual character.

[0113] The virtual environment provides a virtual space for the player character to perform virtual activities such as walking, driving, climbing, picking up items, virtual combat, breaking through levels, solving puzzles, and searching for items.

[0114] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment, through the first virtual character on the difficulty selection interface of the virtual level, in the manner that the first virtual character has a first emotion, indicates the selection of the first level difficulty corresponding to the first virtual character, provides an interaction method with the first virtual character on the difficulty selection interface; before entering the virtual level, based on the emotional changes of the first virtual character, provides an immersive experience, enriches the difficulty selection method of the virtual level, and improves the visual salience of the information in the difficulty selection interface.

[0115] Figure 4 The flowchart of the method for selecting a virtual level provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. Taking the execution of this method by a terminal as an example for illustration. That is, in Figure 3 In the shown embodiment, step 520 can be implemented as step 522:

[0116] Step 522: In response to a selection operation for the first level difficulty, display that the first virtual character corresponding to the first level difficulty presents a positive emotion;

[0117] Exemplarily, when the first virtual character presents a positive emotion, an interaction method with the first virtual character is provided on the difficulty selection interface; before entering the virtual level, and in the case of having the willingness to enter the virtual level with the first level difficulty, an immersive experience is provided based on the positive emotion presented by the first virtual character. Specifically, the first virtual character presents a positive emotion to guide the entry into the virtual level with the first level difficulty; the first virtual character presenting a positive emotion and other virtual characters in the difficulty selection interface have significant visual differences, which is conducive to accurately distinguishing the selected first level difficulty from the unselected other level difficulties, and then re-executing the selection operation in a timely manner in the case of misoperation on the difficulty selection interface.

[0118] In an alternative implementation manner, the implementation manners of displaying that the first virtual character presents a positive emotion in this embodiment include but are not limited to at least one of the following:

[0119] · Display the facial expression of the first virtual character as a smiling expression;

[0120] The first virtual character can present a smiling expression relying on at least one of facial areas such as the mouth, eyes, and facial texture.

[0121] · Display that the gesture of the first virtual character corresponds to a positive emotion;

[0122] The gesture of the first virtual character includes but is not limited to any one of the following: raising the thumb, raising the index finger and middle finger simultaneously, spreading the fingers to expose the palm; optionally, the above gestures of the first virtual character are usually accompanied by raising the arm.

[0123] · Display that the body movement of the first virtual character is waving the arm and / or jumping;

[0124] Exemplarily, display the first virtual character waving the arm and / or jumping in the form of a cutscene.

[0125] · Play the dubbed audio of the first virtual character carrying positive semantics;

[0126] Exemplarily, the tone and / or word meaning in the dubbed audio carry positive semantics. In one example, the tone in the dubbed audio is an excited tone, and the semantics of the dubbed audio is "So happy!"

[0127] · Display that the associated text in the difficulty selection interface carries positive semantics;

[0128] The associated text in the difficulty selection interface is the text information supplemented and displayed in response to the selection operation for the first level difficulty. The associated text can be the spoken words from the perspective of the first virtual character or the prompt text from the third-person perspective. Exemplarily, the spoken words are usually displayed in the form of bubble messages around the first virtual character, but it does not exclude the display methods such as pop-up cards and floating windows. In one example, the spoken words are "Let's go quickly!"

[0129] In another alternative implementation, the first virtual character in this embodiment can be implemented as at least one of the following:

[0130] · In the virtual environment, a cooperative virtual character having a cooperative relationship with the player character;

[0131] Exemplarily, different levels of difficulty in the virtual level correspond to different cooperative virtual characters. In one example, as the level of difficulty increases, the types of cooperative virtual characters are different. For example, when the level of difficulty is normal, the corresponding cooperative virtual character is a virtual knight with the attribute of high-speed movement; when the level of difficulty is hard, the corresponding cooperative virtual character is a virtual guard that can only move at a low speed.

[0132] · In the virtual environment, a hostile virtual character having an adversarial relationship with the player character;

[0133] Exemplarily, different levels of difficulty of the virtual levels correspond to different hostile virtual characters. In one example, as the level of difficulty increases, the types of hostile virtual characters are different.

[0134] · A player character to be controlled in the virtual environment;

[0135] Exemplarily, different levels of difficulty of the virtual levels correspond to different player characters to be controlled, or the virtual skills and / or virtual items carried by the player characters to be controlled are different.

[0136] · Non-player characters that have an associated relationship with the virtual terrain and / or virtual climate of the virtual environment.

[0137] Exemplarily, different levels of difficulty of the virtual levels correspond to different virtual terrains and / or virtual climates, and corresponding non-player characters exist in the virtual terrain and / or virtual climate;

[0138] In one example, as the level of difficulty increases, the player character is restricted by the virtual terrain in the virtual environment (for example, mountainous terrain requires frequent climbing compared to plain terrain; mountainous terrain causes visual occlusion compared to plain terrain), and / or restricted by the virtual climate (a frigid environment is restricted by the need for warmth in low temperatures compared to a normal temperature environment). Correspondingly, corresponding non-player characters exist in the virtual terrain and / or virtual climate. For example, virtual monkeys exist in mountainous terrain, and virtual magicians with freezing skills exist in a frigid environment.

[0139] By having corresponding non-player characters in the virtual terrain and / or virtual climate, non-player characters that have an associated relationship with the virtual terrain and / or virtual climate of the virtual environment are displayed in the difficulty selection interface. Through the virtual characters, the virtual terrain and / or virtual climate in the virtual environment are presented visually, providing more basis for the selection of the difficulty of the virtual level.

[0140] By displaying a first virtual character in the difficulty selection interface, and the first virtual character being at least one of the types such as cooperative virtual characters and hostile virtual characters existing in the virtual environment, rich information in the virtual environment is displayed in the difficulty selection interface, so as to obtain the virtual competition conditions provided in the virtual environment visually before entering the virtual environment, providing more basis for the selection of the difficulty of the virtual level and improving the human-computer interaction efficiency. It avoids situations such as having to adjust the level of difficulty again after blindly selecting the level of difficulty of the virtual level, or frequently being at a disadvantage during virtual activities, reducing the risk of poor immersive experience in the virtual environment.

[0141] It should be noted that the first virtual character introduced above can be combined with any embodiment in the present application to form a new embodiment for separate implementation, and is not limited to being an optional implementation manner of this embodiment.

[0142] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment, through the first virtual character on the difficulty selection interface of the virtual level, in the manner that the first virtual character has a positive emotion, indicates the selection of the first level difficulty corresponding to the first virtual character, provides an interaction method with the first virtual character on the difficulty selection interface, simulates the emotional changes of a character when being selected in the real world; before entering the virtual level, based on the emotional changes of the first virtual character, provides an immersive experience, enriches the way of selecting the difficulty of the virtual level, and improves the visual salience of the information in the difficulty selection interface.

[0143] Next, a further introduction to the first level difficulty will be given.

[0144] In an optional implementation manner, step 522 above can be implemented as the following steps:

[0145] · In response to the selection operation for the first level difficulty, when the first level difficulty matches the recommended difficulty, the first virtual character corresponding to the first level difficulty presents a positive emotion.

[0146] The recommended difficulty is one of at least two level difficulties, and the recommended difficulty is the level difficulty suitable for the virtual activity skills of the target account logged in to the terminal. In one example, when the accounts logged in to the terminal are different, the recommended difficulties are usually different.

[0147] Exemplarily, the recommended difficulty can be a level difficulty explicitly marked in the difficulty selection interface; or it can be a level difficulty that can only be implicitly distinguished from whether the first virtual character presents a positive emotion.

[0148] In an optional implementation manner, the determination of the recommended difficulty can be implemented as the following steps:

[0149] · Obtain the account information of the target account logged in to the terminal;

[0150] · According to the account information, determine the recommended difficulty among at least two level difficulties;

[0151] Exemplarily, the account information includes at least one of the virtual growth level of the target account logged in to the terminal, the historical game information of participating in virtual games, the historical viewing information of watching interesting games, and the historical performance information of participating in virtual competitions.

[0152] Among them, the virtual growth level is related to at least one piece of information among the historical duration of the target account performing virtual activities, the virtual experience value obtained from performing virtual activities, and the number of virtual items obtained from performing virtual activities, and can indicate the virtual activity skills of the target account. Exemplarily, accounts with different virtual growth levels correspond to different recommended difficulties.

[0153] The historical game information is used to indicate the game level of the target account participating in virtual games in the daily environment; further, the historical game includes a first virtual character, or the types of the historical game and the virtual level are the same (such as both being team competition types).

[0154] The historical tournament information is used to indicate the game level of the target account participating in virtual games in the professional competition environment; further, the historical tournament information can be implemented as at least one of a virtual rank level, a virtual team level, and a virtual experience value.

[0155] The historical viewing information can be the viewing information of the virtual games participated by competitive friends, or the viewing information of the tutorial videos of the virtual levels. The historical viewing information indicates the degree of interest of the target account in the virtual levels. By watching the tutorial videos or the virtual games participated by competitive friends, the skills of virtual activities can be learned. When entering the difficulty selection interface after watching the tutorial videos or virtual games, there is a need to select a level difficulty that is the same as or similar to the tutorial videos or virtual games to practice the skills of virtual activities.

[0156] Exemplarily, there is a mapping relationship between the account information and at least two level difficulties, and based on the mapping relationship, the recommended difficulty corresponding to the account information can be determined; the mapping relationship is usually set in advance according to experience.

[0157] Optionally, in the case where the first level difficulty does not match the recommended difficulty, the first virtual character corresponding to the first level difficulty shows different emotions;

[0158] The different emotion is different from the first emotion, and the different emotion is used to express the emotional feedback of the first virtual character on the mismatch between the first level difficulty and the recommended difficulty.

[0159] In the case where the first level difficulty does not match the recommended difficulty, the first level difficulty is not suitable for the virtual activity skills of the target account logged in to the terminal; for example, it is too difficult or too easy.

[0160] Optionally, the differential emotion is a caring emotion. In one example, when the difficulty of the first level is higher than the recommended difficulty, the difficulty of the first level is too difficult for the target account logged in to the terminal; the first virtual character shows a worried emotion (for example, the facial expression is frowning and the associated text is "This is a bit dangerous. It takes a lot of courage to enter the level~") to guide the selection of a lower difficulty level. In another example, when the difficulty of the first level is lower than the recommended difficulty, the difficulty of the first level is too easy for the target account logged in to the terminal; the first virtual character shows an encouraging emotion (for example, the gesture is gently clapping hands and the associated text is "Try a more challenging challenge. You can do it!") to guide the selection of a higher difficulty level.

[0161] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment, through the first virtual character on the difficulty selection interface of the virtual level, indicates the recommended difficulty of the account logged in to the terminal in the way that the first virtual character has a positive emotion, provides an interaction method with the first virtual character on the difficulty selection interface, realizes the recommendation of the level difficulty among multiple level difficulties, and provides an effective reference for the difficulty selection; before entering the virtual level, based on the emotional changes of the first virtual character, an immersive experience is provided, enriching the way of selecting the difficulty of the virtual level.

[0162] Figure 5 The flowchart of the method for selecting a virtual level provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. This method is described by taking the execution by the terminal as an example. That is, on the basis of the embodiment shown in Figure 3 the embodiment shown, it further includes at least one of step 526 and step 527:

[0163] Step 526: Display the associated virtual character of the first virtual character;

[0164] The associated virtual character is at least one other character in the virtual environment other than the first virtual character. The associated virtual character includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: a cooperative virtual character in the virtual environment, a hostile virtual character, a player character to be controlled, and a non-player character having an associated relationship with the virtual terrain and / or virtual climate of the virtual environment. The number of associated virtual characters can be one or more, and the number of associated virtual characters is not limited in this embodiment. The introduction of the above characters can refer to the corresponding embodiments in the above text. Figure 4 corresponding embodiment.

[0165] By supplementing and displaying the associated virtual character in the difficulty selection interface, more virtual characters in the virtual environment are expanded and displayed in the difficulty selection interface. In the case of having the intention to enter the virtual level with the first level difficulty, more information about virtual objects in the virtual environment is presented visually, providing more basis for the difficulty selection of the virtual level.

[0166] In an alternative implementation, the first virtual character and the associated virtual character in this step are the player characters to be controlled in the first level difficulty of the virtual level, and the virtual characters that have an adversarial relationship with the player characters;

[0167] Exemplarily, the relative positions between the first virtual character and the associated virtual character on the difficulty selection interface are the same as the relative positions between the initial positions of the player characters to be controlled and the initial positions of the adversarial virtual characters in the virtual environment.

[0168] The relative positions between the first virtual character and the associated virtual character displayed on the difficulty selection interface; in the case of having the intention to enter the virtual level with the first level difficulty, the position situation of the virtual characters in the virtual scene is simulated on the difficulty selection interface, and the relative position information between the two virtual objects in the virtual environment is presented based on a visual method, providing more basis for the difficulty selection of the virtual level, increasing the information density visually presented on the difficulty selection interface, and improving the human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0169] Step 527: Display the associated information of the first virtual character;

[0170] The associated information is used to display at least one of the character attributes, virtual skills, and virtual items of the first virtual character. In the case of having the intention to enter the virtual level with the first level difficulty, the associated information is additionally displayed, and the character state of the first virtual character in the virtual environment is further presented based on a visual method, providing more basis for the difficulty selection of the virtual level.

[0171] In an alternative implementation, the associated information in this step includes at least one of the following:

[0172] · When the first virtual character is a cooperative virtual character in the virtual environment, the associated information is used to display the first virtual skill of the cooperative virtual character;

[0173] The first virtual skill is a virtual skill that has a restraining relationship with the character attributes of the adversarial virtual characters in the virtual environment; exemplarily, the adversarial virtual character has a poor defensive effect against virtual physical attacks, and the first virtual skill is the virtual skill for the cooperative virtual character to initiate virtual physical attacks.

[0174] · When the first virtual character is an adversarial virtual character in the virtual environment, the associated information is used to display the first character attribute of the adversarial virtual character;

[0175] The first character attribute is used to indicate the weak points of the adversarial virtual character and / or the way to initiate virtual attacks; exemplarily, the weak points are highlighted on the adversarial virtual character, and the way for the adversarial virtual character to initiate virtual attacks is presented in the form of a text description or by showing the path of the virtual attack.

[0176] · When the first virtual character is a player character to be controlled in a virtual environment, the associated information is used to display the virtual items and / or virtual skills carried by the player character in the virtual environment;

[0177] Exemplarily, the associated information includes at least one of the following information of the virtual item and / or virtual skill: introduction text, usage tips.

[0178] · When the first virtual character is a non-player character associated with the virtual terrain and / or virtual climate of the virtual environment, the associated information is used to display the distribution positions of the non-player characters in the virtual environment;

[0179] Exemplarily, the distribution positions are displayed in the form of text description or highlighted on the virtual map.

[0180] Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the difficulty selection interface provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0181] In this embodiment, the difficulty selection interface 320a is implemented as a pop-up window in the third interface 330 as an example for illustration. When the first level difficulty (such as normal difficulty) is selected, the facial expression of the first virtual character 450 corresponding to the first level difficulty shows a positive emotion.

[0182] The associated virtual characters are also displayed in the difficulty selection interface 320a; in this example, the number of associated virtual characters is 4: the first associated character 462, the second associated character 464, the third associated character 466, and the fourth associated character 468. Among them, the first virtual character 450 is a player character to be controlled, and the associated virtual characters are hostile virtual characters having an adversarial relationship with the player character.

[0183] Based on the relative positions between the player character and the hostile virtual characters in the virtual environment, the relative positions between the first virtual character 450 and the four associated virtual characters on the difficulty selection interface 320a are determined. The virtual mountain body 469 is also displayed in the difficulty selection interface 320a, showing the virtual terrain of a part of the virtual environment.

[0184] The associated information of the first virtual character 450 is also displayed in the difficulty selection interface 320a, such as the virtual items carried by the player character to be controlled are a virtual shield and a virtual knife, and the attribute information of the above virtual items.

[0185] The weak point areas of the fourth associated character 468 are also displayed in the difficulty selection interface 320a. For example, the first area 648a highlighted is the weak point area of the fourth associated character 468. It can be seen that for associated virtual characters other than the first virtual character, the corresponding associated information can also be displayed by referring to step 527 in the above text.

[0186] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment, through the first virtual character on the difficulty selection interface of the virtual level, indicates the selection of the first level difficulty corresponding to the first virtual character in the manner that the first virtual character has the first emotion, provides an interaction method with the first virtual character on the difficulty selection interface; also simultaneously displays the positions of the characters competing against each other in the virtual level and the associated information of the first virtual character on the difficulty selection interface, forming prompt information for performing virtual activities in the virtual level, providing an effective reference for difficulty selection before entering the virtual level, providing an immersive experience, and enriching the difficulty selection method for the virtual level.

[0187] Figure 7 The flowchart of the method for selecting a virtual level provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. Taking the execution of this method by the terminal as an example for illustration. That is, on the basis of the embodiment shown in Figure 3 it further includes step 528:

[0188] Step 528: Display the clearance animation of the virtual level in the first level difficulty;

[0189] Exemplarily, the clearance animation includes at least one of the moving path of the player character passing through the virtual level, the release position of the virtual skill, and the use position of the virtual item. The clearance animation is used to prompt the virtual activity method for successfully passing through the virtual level.

[0190] The clearance animation displayed on the difficulty selection interface, in the case of having the intention to enter the virtual level with the first level difficulty, further displays the way of performing virtual activities in the virtual environment, and presents the complexity of performing virtual activities in the virtual environment based on at least one of the moving path, the release position of the virtual skill, and the use position of the virtual item in a visual manner. Before entering the virtual environment, it intuitively indicates the complexity of the virtual activities, providing more basis for the difficulty selection of the virtual level. The clearance animation, as a tutorial for the virtual card, can be interrupted in time through a confirmation operation, and the playback progress of the clearance animation can be flexibly controlled according to the need to watch the tutorial.

[0191] Next, the construction method of the clearance animation will be introduced. In an optional implementation manner, this embodiment further includes the following steps:

[0192] · Obtain the historical control information of the player character to be controlled in the virtual environment;

[0193] ·Draw at least one of the movement path of the player character, the release position of the virtual skill, and the use position of the virtual item according to the historical control information to obtain a clearance animation.

[0194] The player character corresponding to the historical control information can be the character controlled by the first account logged in to the terminal, or the character controlled by other terminals or other accounts. The historical control information is the control information of the virtual game when the player character successfully clears the virtual level.

[0195] Exemplarily, the historical control information carries at least one of the movement path of the player character, the release position of the virtual skill, and the use position of the virtual item. In one example, the historical control information is the information directly carried by the background log of the virtual game, and the background log directly carries at least one of the coordinates of the movement path of the player character, the release position coordinates of the virtual skill, and the use position coordinates of the virtual item. The historical control information is extracted from the background log.

[0196] In one example, the first virtual character is the player character to be controlled. Taking the position of the first virtual character in the difficulty selection interface as the coordinate origin, draw at least one of the movement path of the player character, the release position of the virtual skill, and the use position of the virtual item to obtain a clearance animation.

[0197] Optionally, the clearance animation can also include a virtual map of the virtual environment. Draw at least one of the movement path of the player character, the release position of the virtual skill, and the use position of the virtual item on the virtual map to obtain a clearance animation.

[0198] In another example, the historical control information is the information indirectly carried in the historical clearance video. Specifically, as introduced above, the method for obtaining the historical control information includes the following steps:

[0199] Obtain the historical clearance video of the virtual level in the first level difficulty;

[0200] Determine the historical control information of the player character according to the image frame change of the region of interest in the historical clearance video;

[0201] Exemplarily, the region of interest includes the position regions of at least one of the movement control, virtual skill control, and virtual item control in the historical clearance video.

[0202] Taking the movement control as an example, when the movement control is triggered, a visual change occurs in the position area where the movement control is located, and the movement control will change its color to indicate that it has been triggered; based on the duration of different colors in the region of interest, the movement control method and duration for the player character can be extracted from the historical clearance video; that is, the historical control information indicating the movement path is obtained. Similarly, when the virtual skill control or virtual item control is triggered, there are also corresponding visual changes (such as color changes) in the region of interest. Combining the above historical control information indicating the movement path, the release position of the virtual skill and the use position of the virtual item can be obtained.

[0203] Figure 8 FIG. shows a schematic diagram of a difficulty selection interface provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0204] In this embodiment, the difficulty selection interface 320a is implemented as a pop-up window in the fourth interface 340 for illustration. When the first level difficulty (such as normal difficulty) is selected, the facial expression of the first virtual character 450 corresponding to the first level difficulty shows a positive emotion.

[0205] The clearance animation is displayed in the difficulty selection interface 320a. Specifically, the fourth interface 340 corresponds to the first timestamp, and the fifth interface 350 corresponds to the second timestamp; the first timestamp is earlier than the second timestamp.

[0206] In the fourth interface 340, the first virtual character 450 is the player character to be controlled, and the dotted line shows the movement path 480 of the first virtual character 450; the first position point 482, the second position point 484, and the third position point 486 are the release positions of virtual skills or the use positions of virtual items; specifically, the first position point 482 is the use position of virtual items (virtual shield, virtual knife), the second position point 484 is the release position of the virtual skill (flight skill), and the third position point 486 is the use position of virtual items (virtual shield, virtual medical kit).

[0207] In the fifth interface 350, the first virtual character 450 moves to the first position point 482, and the fifth interface 350 also displays a hostile virtual character 460, and the hostile virtual character 460 is the target of the virtual item used by the first virtual character 450.

[0208] In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, through the first virtual character on the difficulty selection interface of the virtual level, in a manner that the first virtual character has a first emotion, it indicates to select the first level difficulty corresponding to the first virtual character, providing an interaction method with the first virtual character on the difficulty selection interface; also, on the difficulty selection interface, the clearance animation of successfully passing the virtual level is simultaneously shown, forming tutorial information for performing virtual activities in the virtual level; before entering the virtual level, it provides an effective reference for difficulty selection, provides an immersive experience, and enriches the difficulty selection method for the virtual level.

[0209] Next, a further introduction is made to the second virtual character and the selection operation on the difficulty selection interface.

[0210] Figure 9 The flowchart of the selection method for the virtual level provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. Taking the execution of this method by the terminal as an example for illustration. That is, Figure 3 Based on the shown embodiment, it further includes step 515 and step 525:

[0211] Step 515: When the first level difficulty is in a candidate state before being selected, display that the first virtual character corresponding to the first level difficulty has a second emotion;

[0212] When the first level difficulty is in a candidate state, there is no selection operation for the first level difficulty (for example, no level difficulty is selected), and there is no intention to enter the virtual level with the first level difficulty. Based on the second emotion presented by the first virtual character, an immersive experience is provided.

[0213] Exemplarily, the type and / or the intensity of the second emotion and the first emotion are different. When the first level difficulty is in a selected state or a non - selected state, the first virtual character presents different emotions, which can visually distinguish the selection situation of the first level difficulty on the first virtual character, and the first virtual character personifies to represent the level difficulty of the virtual level. It simulates the emotional changes when a person in the real world is selected or not.

[0214] In one example, the type of the second emotion and the first emotion are different; for example, the first emotion is a positive emotion and the second emotion is a negative emotion. For example, the first emotion is a positive emotion and the second emotion is a neutral emotion (such as a plain facial expression, presenting a peaceful emotion).

[0215] In another example, the intensity of the second emotion is different from that of the first emotion. Exemplarily, both the first emotion and the second emotion are positive emotions, and the intensity of the second emotion is lower than that of the first emotion. Specifically, the second emotion is a pleasant emotion (for example, the facial expression of the first virtual character is a smile), and the first emotion is a happy emotion (for example, the facial expression of the first virtual character is a laugh).

[0216] The above introduction of the types and intensities of emotions is only an exemplary introduction, and does not exclude other implementation manners with different types and / or intensities of emotions.

[0217] Step 525: When the second level difficulty among at least two levels of difficulty is in an unselected state, the second virtual character corresponding to the second level difficulty presents a third emotion;

[0218] When the second level difficulty is in an unselected state, there is no willingness to enter the virtual level with the second level difficulty. In an optional example, in response to a selection operation for the first level difficulty, the first level difficulty is the only selected level difficulty, and the second virtual character corresponding to the unselected level difficulty presents a third emotion. The third emotion is used to express the emotional feedback of the second virtual character after the second level difficulty is not selected. The second virtual character is different from the first virtual character, and the type and / or intensity of the third emotion are different from those of the first emotion.

[0219] Based on the difference between the third emotion and the first emotion, the selection situation of the first level difficulty corresponding to the first virtual character is further visually distinguished, simulating the emotional changes of a person in the real world when selected or not. Exemplarily, the third emotion and the second emotion can be the same or different, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0220] Exemplarily, step 525 in this embodiment is usually executed simultaneously with step 520, but does not exclude the situation where step 525 is executed before or after step 520.

[0221] Step 540: Display the first virtual character presenting a fourth emotion on the settlement interface of the virtual level;

[0222] The fourth emotion is used to express the emotional feedback of the first virtual character on whether the virtual level is successfully cleared. Exemplarily, the fourth emotion is determined according to whether the virtual level is successfully cleared. For example, when the virtual level is successfully cleared, the fourth emotion is a positive emotion (such as a happy emotion), and when the virtual level is not successfully cleared, the fourth emotion is a negative emotion (such as a sad emotion). It can be seen that the fourth emotion and the first emotion are independent of each other and can be the same emotion or different emotions.

[0223] Further, the fourth emotion is determined based on whether the virtual level is successfully cleared and the emotion presented on the difficulty selection interface.

[0224] In one example, whether the virtual level is successfully cleared determines the type of the fourth emotion (such as a positive or negative emotion), and the emotion presented on the difficulty selection interface determines the intensity of the fourth emotion.

[0225] In one example, on the difficulty selection interface, the emotion of the first virtual character is a worried emotion (such as indicating that the difficulty of the first level is too difficult for the target account logged in to the terminal); in the case where the virtual level is successfully cleared, the fourth emotion is a positive emotion and the intensity of the emotion is strong (such as a facial expression of laughing and associated text being "You made it through such a difficult environment, great job!"), and in the case where the virtual level is not successfully cleared, the fourth emotion is a negative emotion and the intensity of the emotion is weak (such as a facial expression of frustration and associated text being "It's okay, please keep up the good work~").

[0226] In another example, on the difficulty selection interface, the emotion of the first virtual character is an encouraging emotion (such as indicating that the difficulty of the first level is too easy for the target account logged in to the terminal); in the case where the virtual level is successfully cleared, the fourth emotion is a positive emotion and the intensity of the emotion is weak (such as a facial expression of smiling and associated text being "Cleared successfully~"), and in the case where the virtual level is not successfully cleared, the fourth emotion is a negative emotion and the intensity of the emotion is strong (such as a facial expression of crying and associated text being "Failed to clear, what a pity!").

[0227] It should be noted that step 515, step 525, and step 540 in this embodiment can be combined with the respective steps in the corresponding embodiments in the above text Figure 3 to form new embodiments for separate implementation, and the present application does not limit this. The present application does not make any restrictive provisions on whether at least two of the second emotion to the fourth emotion introduced in each embodiment are the same.

[0228] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment, through the first virtual character on the difficulty selection interface of the virtual level, indicates the selected difficulty of the first level corresponding to the first virtual character in the manner that the first virtual character has the first emotion, provides an interaction method with the first virtual character on the difficulty selection interface, simulates the emotional changes of the character itself and other characters when the character is selected in the real world; before entering the virtual level, based on the emotional changes of the first virtual character, provides an immersive experience and enriches the way of selecting the difficulty of the virtual level.

[0229] Figure 10 Shows a schematic diagram of a difficulty selection interface provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0230] In this embodiment, the difficulty selection interface 320a is implemented as a pop-up window in the sixth interface 360, which will be described as an example.

[0231] The difficulty selection interface 320a provides three levels of difficulty for the levels: normal, difficult, and very difficult; each level of difficulty has a corresponding virtual character; specifically, the normal difficulty corresponds to the Yuanbao character 410, the difficult level corresponds to the Cloud character 420, and the very difficult level corresponds to the Star character 430.

[0232] The sixth interface 360 is the initial interface of the difficulty selection interface 320a. By default, the normal difficulty is in the selected state. The facial expression of the Yuanbao character 410 corresponding to the normal difficulty shows a happy emotion, and the first introduction text 410a of the normal difficulty is also displayed; the facial expression of the Cloud character 420 corresponding to the difficult level shows a sad emotion, and the facial expression of the Star character 430 corresponding to the very difficult level shows a fierce emotion.

[0233] When the normal difficulty is in the selected state, the expanded size of the normal difficulty in the difficulty selection interface 320a is larger than the folded size of other difficulties. The expanded size of the normal difficulty in the difficulty selection interface 320a is used to provide the display position for the first introduction text 410a.

[0234] It can be seen that in each embodiment of the present application, the level of difficulty in the selected state has a larger display size in the difficulty selection interface compared to other levels of difficulty in the non-selected state.

[0235] The difficulty selection interface 320a also provides a confirmation control 404 and a cancel control 406; in response to a trigger operation on the confirmation control 404, the virtual environment corresponding to the virtual level is displayed with the normal difficulty. In response to a trigger operation on the cancel control 406, it jumps back to the preparation interface before entering the virtual level, such as Figure 2 The corresponding first interface.

[0236] In response to a trigger operation 405 on the difficult difficulty, the seventh interface 370 is jumped to and displayed; in the seventh interface, the facial expression of the Yuanbao character 410 corresponding to the normal difficulty shows a sad emotion; the facial expression of the Cloud character 420 corresponding to the difficult level shows a happy emotion, and the second introduction text 420a of the difficult difficulty is also displayed, and the facial expression of the Star character 430 corresponding to the very difficult level shows a fierce emotion.

[0237] When the hard difficulty is in the selected state, switch the display size of the normal difficulty from the expanded size to the folded size, and switch the display size of the hard difficulty from the folded size to the expanded size; the expanded size of the hard difficulty in the difficulty selection interface 320a is greater than the folded size of other difficulties. The expanded size of the hard difficulty in the difficulty selection interface 320a is used to provide the display position of the second introduction text 410a.

[0241] Step 702: Display the first virtual character presenting a positive emotion, the first introduction text, and display the second virtual character and the third virtual character presenting negative emotions;

[0242] By default, the first level difficulty corresponding to the selected first virtual character is displayed. Correspondingly, the first virtual character corresponding to the first level difficulty presents a positive emotion.

[0243] Exemplarily, the first level difficulty is the normal difficulty in the above text Figure 10 , the first virtual character corresponding to the normal difficulty is the Yuanbao character; the positive emotion is a happy emotion. The second virtual character and the third virtual character present negative emotions; taking the above text Figure 10 as an example, the facial expression of the cloud character corresponding to the difficult level presents a sad emotion, and the facial expression of the star character corresponding to the very difficult level presents a fierce emotion.

[0244] Step 704: Is there a first switching selection operation?

[0245] If there is a first switching selection operation, execute step 706; if there is no first switching selection operation, execute step 702.

[0246] The first switching selection operation in this step is a selection operation for the second level difficulty or the third level difficulty.

[0247] Step 706: Does the first switching selection operation correspond to the second level difficulty?

[0248] When the first switching selection operation corresponds to the second level difficulty, step 708 is executed; when the first switching selection operation does not correspond to the second level difficulty, step 710 is executed.

[0249] Exemplarily, it is determined whether it corresponds to the second level difficulty through the position of the first switching selection operation; for example, if the position of the first switching selection operation is on the control corresponding to the second level difficulty, it corresponds to the second level difficulty; otherwise, it does not correspond to the second level difficulty.

[0250] Step 708: Display the second virtual character presenting a positive emotion, the second introduction text, and display the first virtual character and the third virtual character presenting negative emotions;

[0251] Exemplarily, the second level difficulty is the difficult difficulty in the above text Figure 10 and the second virtual character corresponding to the difficult difficulty is the cloud character.

[0252] Exemplarily, after step 708, step 712 is executed.

[0253] Step 710: Display the third virtual character presenting a positive emotion, the third introduction text, and display the first virtual character and the second virtual character presenting negative emotions;

[0254] Exemplarily, the third level difficulty is the very difficult difficulty in the above text Figure 10 and the second virtual character corresponding to the very difficult difficulty is the star character.

[0255] Exemplarily, after step 710, step 716 is executed.

[0256] Step 712: Whether there is a second switching selection operation;

[0257] When there is a second switching selection operation, step 714 is executed; when there is no second switching selection operation, step 708 is executed.

[0258] The second switching selection operation in this step is a selection operation for the first level difficulty or the third level difficulty.

[0259] Step 714: Whether the second switching selection operation corresponds to the first level difficulty;

[0260] When the second switching selection operation corresponds to the first level difficulty, step 702 is executed; when the second switching selection operation does not correspond to the first level difficulty, step 710 is executed.

[0261] Exemplarily, it is determined whether it corresponds to the first level difficulty through the position of the second switching selection operation;

[0262] Step 716: Is there a third switching selection operation?

[0263] If there is a third switching selection operation, execute Step 718; if there is no third switching selection operation, execute Step 710.

[0264] The third switching selection operation in this step is an operation of selecting the first level difficulty or the second level difficulty.

[0265] Step 718: Does the third switching selection operation correspond to the first level difficulty?

[0266] If the third switching selection operation corresponds to the first level difficulty, execute Step 702; if the third switching selection operation does not correspond to the first level difficulty, execute Step 708.

[0267] Exemplarily, determine whether it corresponds to the first level difficulty based on the position of the third switching selection operation.
