Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of human-computer interaction technology, and more specifically, to a method, device, electronic device, and storage medium for displaying information in a game. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the internet, various types of video games have emerged to meet users' daily entertainment needs. In video games, information prompts are often provided to users through "jump text." Jump text refers to the prompt text generated from other virtual object models when the user-controlled virtual object launches an attack or auxiliary action event during gameplay.
[0003] Currently, information in games is typically displayed within a fixed area and pops out in a pre-set, fixed direction. However, this method of information display is difficult to adapt to changing game scenes and model shapes. For example, when the game background color is similar to the color of the prompt text, it can cause low visibility of the prompts, affecting the efficiency of human-computer interaction. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for displaying information in games, so as to solve the problems of low information recognition and reduced human-computer interaction efficiency.
[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for displaying information in a game, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The graphical user interface displays at least a portion of the game scene, and the game scene includes a first virtual object and a second virtual object controlled by the terminal device, including:
[0006] In response to a movement control command for a first virtual object, control the first virtual object to move within the game scene;
[0007] In response to a specified interactive behavior between the first virtual object and the second virtual object, an information prompt area is provided at the second virtual object based on the display area of the second virtual object in the graphical user interface. The size of the information prompt area changes with the display area. The specified interactive behavior includes game behavior that adjusts the preset attribute parameters of the second virtual object.
[0008] The information prompt area provides prompts indicating the preset attribute parameters of the second virtual object.
[0009] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide an information display device for a game, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The graphical user interface displays at least a portion of the game scene, and the game scene includes a first virtual object and a second virtual object controlled by the terminal device. The device includes:
[0010] The movement control module is used to respond to movement control commands for the first virtual object and control the first virtual object to move within the game scene;
[0011] The prompt area determination module is used to respond to a specified interaction behavior between the first virtual object and the second virtual object. Based on the display area of the second virtual object in the graphical user interface, it provides an information prompt area at the second virtual object. The area size of the information prompt area changes with the display area. The specified interaction behavior includes game behavior that adjusts the preset attribute parameters of the second virtual object.
[0012] The prompt information display module is used to provide prompt information in the information prompt area to indicate the preset attribute parameters of the second virtual object.
[0013] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide an electronic device, including: a processor, a memory, and a bus. The memory stores machine-readable instructions executable by the processor. When the electronic device is running, the processor communicates with the memory via the bus. When the machine-readable instructions are executed by the processor, they perform steps of the information display method in the game described above.
[0014] Fourthly, embodiments of this application also provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, performs the steps of the information display method in the game described above.

[0016] This application provides a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for displaying information in a game. Based on the current display area of a second virtual object in the graphical user interface, the information prompt area can be determined in real time. This allows the information prompt area to adjust according to changes in the camera's perspective or the shape of the second virtual object, effectively controlling the display range of the prompt information. This avoids the reduced recognizability of the prompt information due to changes in background and model shape, improving information recognizability and human-computer interaction efficiency. Compared with existing information display methods in games, this solves the problems of low information recognizability and reduced human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, every other embodiment obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort falls within the scope of protection of this application.
[0028] It is worth noting that prior to this application, with the development of the internet, various types of video games emerged to meet users' daily entertainment needs. In video games, information prompts are often provided to users via "jump text." Jump text refers to the prompt text generated from the models of other virtual objects during gameplay when the user-controlled virtual object launches an attack or assists in an action event. For example, when attacking and causing damage to another virtual object, a prompt text indicating the damage number is generated; or when healing another virtual object, a prompt text indicating the increase in health is generated.
[0029] Currently, information in games is typically displayed within a fixed area, popping out in a pre-set, fixed direction. However, this method is difficult to adapt to changing game scenes and the shape of models. For example, when adjusting the virtual camera's viewpoint or changing the shape of other virtual objects, the game background color may become too similar to the color of the prompt text, resulting in low information visibility and impacting human-computer interaction efficiency.
[0030] The following explains the terms used in the embodiments of this application.
[0031] Graphical User Interface:
[0032] It is a human-computer interface display format that allows users to manipulate icons, icons, or menu options on the screen using input devices such as a mouse or keyboard. It also allows users to manipulate icons or menu options on the screen by performing touch operations on the touch screen of a touch terminal in order to select commands, launch programs, or perform other tasks.
[0033] Virtual scene:
[0034] A virtual scene is a virtual environment displayed (or provided) by an application while it is running on a terminal device or server; that is, the scene used during normal gameplay. In other words, a virtual scene refers to virtual game controls that carry virtual objects during gameplay. These virtual objects can perform actions such as movement and skill release in the virtual scene based on the user's (i.e., the player's) commands to the terminal device. Optionally, a virtual scene can be a simulation of the real world, a semi-simulated / semi-fictional virtual environment, or a purely fictional virtual environment. A virtual scene can be any of a two-dimensional, 2.5-dimensional, or three-dimensional virtual scene. The virtual environment can be sky, land, ocean, etc., where land includes environmental elements such as deserts and cities. The virtual scene is the scene where the user controls the complete game logic of the virtual objects. Optionally, a virtual scene can also be used for virtual environment battles between at least two virtual objects, and the virtual scene has virtual resources available for use by at least two virtual objects. For example, a virtual scene can include any one or more of the following elements: game background elements, game virtual character elements, game item elements, etc.
[0035] In an optional implementation, the information display method in a game according to one embodiment of this disclosure can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the information display method in a game runs on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and client devices.
[0036] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and execution of the game loading method are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for data reception, transmission, and game screen presentation. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities located close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.
[0037] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface (GUI), i.e., conventionally by downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the GUI to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the player via holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the GUI, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the GUI, and controlling the display of the GUI on the display screen.
[0038] In one possible implementation, this invention provides a method for displaying information in a game, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The terminal device can be either the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device in the aforementioned cloud interactive system.
[0039] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a method for displaying information in games to improve information recognition and enhance human-computer interaction efficiency.
[0040] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying information in a game, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the information display method in the game includes:
[0041] Step S101: In response to a movement control command for the first virtual object, control the first virtual object to move within the game scene;
[0042] Step S102: In response to a specified interaction between the first virtual object and the second virtual object, an information prompt area is provided at the second virtual object based on the display area of the second virtual object in the graphical user interface;
[0043] Step S103: Provide prompt information in the information prompt area to indicate the preset attribute parameters of the second virtual object.
[0044] The information display method in the game provided in this application can determine the information prompt area in real time based on the display area of the second virtual object in the graphical user interface at the current moment. This allows the information prompt area to be adjusted as the camera viewpoint or the shape of the second virtual object changes, thereby effectively controlling the display range of the prompt information. This avoids the impact of reduced recognizability of the prompt information caused by changes in the background and model shape, improves information recognizability, enhances human-computer interaction efficiency, and solves the problems of low information recognizability and reduced human-computer interaction efficiency.
[0045] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the following description will use an example of an information display method in a game provided by this application applied to a terminal device to illustrate the exemplary steps provided by this application embodiment.
[0046] The system provides a graphical user interface via a terminal device, which displays at least a portion of the game scene. The game scene includes a first virtual object and a second virtual object controlled by the terminal device.
[0047] In step S101, in response to a movement control command for the first virtual object, the first virtual object is controlled to move within the game scene.
[0048] In this step, the first virtual object may refer to a virtual object controlled by the current user through the terminal device. For example, the first virtual object may be a controlled virtual character controlled by the current user.
[0049] The second virtual object can refer to the target object of the action of the first virtual object. For example, the second virtual object can be an uncontrolled virtual character or a controlled virtual character controlled by other users.
[0050] In the embodiments of this application, the changes in the virtual scene content presented by the graphical user interface can be controlled by at least one of the following methods.
[0051] One approach is to update the game scene content presented in the graphical user interface based on changes in the position of a first virtual object within the game scene. For example, in response to a movement control command for the first virtual object, the first virtual object is controlled to move within the game scene, thereby changing the presented game scene content.
[0052] Another approach is to update the game scene content presented in the graphical user interface based on changes in the viewing perspective of the first virtual object. For example, in response to a command to adjust the viewing perspective of the first virtual object, the viewing perspective of the first virtual object is adjusted so that the presented game scene content changes.
[0053] In this way, when the position of the first virtual object changes in the game scene, the position of the virtual camera corresponding to the first virtual object changes accordingly. When the viewing angle of the first virtual object changes, the viewing angle of the virtual camera corresponding to the first virtual object also changes accordingly, so that the game scene content captured by the virtual camera also changes synchronously.
[0054] In step S102, in response to a specified interaction between the first virtual object and the second virtual object, an information prompt area is provided at the second virtual object based on the display area of the second virtual object in the graphical user interface.
[0055] In this step, the specified interaction behavior can refer to the interaction behavior applied by the first virtual object to the second virtual object. The specified interaction behavior includes game behavior that adjusts the preset attribute parameters of the second virtual object.
[0056] For example, the specified interactive behaviors include, but are not limited to: attack behavior imposed by the first virtual object on the second virtual object, attribute adjustment behavior imposed by the first virtual object on the second virtual object, and health restoration behavior imposed by the first virtual object on the second virtual object.
[0057] Preset attribute parameters can refer to parameters used to characterize the state attributes of the second virtual object. For example, preset attribute parameters are numerical parameters, that is, they characterize the state attributes of the first virtual object in numerical form. As an example, preset attribute parameters include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: the second virtual object's health points, the second virtual object's attack power, the second virtual object's defense power, and the second virtual object's movement speed.
[0058] In one scenario, when the first virtual object attacks the second virtual object, it inflicts damage on the second virtual object, reducing its health. In this case, the default attribute parameter is the second virtual object's health, and the displayed message is the damage value.
[0059] In another scenario, when the first virtual object performs a health restoration action on the second virtual object, it increases the second virtual object's current health. In this case, the default attribute parameter is the second virtual object's health, and the message displayed is the health restoration value.
[0060] In the third scenario, when the first virtual object applies attribute adjustment behavior to the second virtual object, it increases or decreases the corresponding attributes of the second virtual object. In this case, the preset attribute parameter is the corresponding attribute of the second virtual object. For example, if the attack power of the second virtual object is increased, the preset attribute parameter is the attack power of the second virtual object, and the prompt message is the increased attack power value; if the defense power of the second virtual object is decreased, the preset attribute parameter is the defense power of the second virtual object, and the prompt message is the decreased defense power value.
[0061] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal device determines the display area of the second virtual object in the graphical user interface at the current moment when a specified interactive behavior occurs. If the display area of the second virtual object changes, the area size of the information prompt area will also change with the change in display area.
[0062] In one example, the size of the information prompt area will change according to the display area of the second virtual object under different viewing angles and / or different forms.
[0063] In one scenario, if the second virtual object is a bear, then when the virtual camera's viewing angle changes from a horizontal to a vertical perspective, the display area of the second virtual object in the graphical user interface will change. At this time, the size of the information prompt area will also change with the change in display area.
[0064] In another scenario, if the shape of the second virtual object changes, becoming larger or smaller, the display area of the second virtual object in the graphical user interface will also change. In this case, the size of the information prompt area will also change with the change in display area.
[0065] It should be noted that the changes in the form of the second virtual object include, but are not limited to, changes in size and posture. For example, when the size of the second virtual object increases, the shape of the second virtual object also increases, and the corresponding display area also increases; when the posture of the second virtual object changes from standing to crawling, the shape of the second virtual object also changes, and the corresponding display area also changes.
[0066] The following reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 Let's discuss the changes in display area.
[0067] Figure 2 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the display area of the second virtual object in its first form, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, a graphical user interface 20 is provided through a terminal device 10, in which a first virtual object 210 and a second virtual object 220 are displayed. Figure 2 In the current frame graphical user interface shown, the second virtual object 220 is currently in the first state. In the first state, the display area corresponding to the second virtual object 220 is region 230, which is displayed as a dashed line.
[0068] Figure 3 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the display area of the second virtual object in a second form, as provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 As shown, in Figure 3 In the current frame graphical user interface shown, the second virtual object 220 is in the second form. The second virtual object 220 is larger in size than the first form. The display area corresponding to the second virtual object 220 in the second form is region 310, which is displayed as a dashed line.
[0069] Here, the information prompt area includes the information prompt start point and the information prompt end point. The information prompt start point can refer to the starting point of the information prompt, and the information prompt end point can refer to the ending point of the information prompt. The prompt information will be displayed from the information prompt start point to the information prompt end point.
[0070] The information prompt starting point includes a first information prompt starting point located at a fixed position on the model of the second virtual object, and a second information prompt starting point whose position is variable. The first information prompt starting point can be a fixed mounting point on the 3D model of the second virtual object; for example, it can be a set center point of the 3D model of the second virtual object. The position of the second information prompt starting point is determined by the geometry of the display area boundary, and its position changes when the display area changes; for example, it can be the geometric center point of the display area boundary.
[0071] The display area refers to the display area corresponding to the boundary of the display area of the 3D model of the second virtual object in the graphical user interface from the current virtual camera's perspective. The display area is used to characterize the size of the display area of the model of the second virtual object in the graphical user interface.
[0072] The following reference Figure 4 This section will explain how to determine the information prompt area.
[0073] Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating the method for determining the information prompt area provided in an embodiment of this application is shown, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the method for determining the information prompt area includes:
[0074] Step S1021: Based on the starting point of the information prompt, select the ending point of the information prompt on the boundary of the display area corresponding to the display area.
[0075] Here, the information prompt area is determined based on the information prompt start point and information prompt end point. First, the information prompt end point corresponding to the information prompt start point can be determined, and then the area size of the information prompt area can be determined according to the information prompt end point.
[0076] Specifically, a first ray is emitted from the starting point of the information prompt along a set tilt angle. The endpoint of the information prompt is determined based on the first intersection point of the first ray and the boundary of the display area. The boundary of the display area can refer to the boundary of the projection area of the second virtual object from the current viewing angle of the virtual camera.
[0077] In one scenario, the first intersection point between the first ray and the boundary of the display area can be directly used as the endpoint of the information prompt.
[0078] The following reference Figure 5 Let me introduce the first method for determining the destination of the information prompt.
[0079] Figure 5 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of an information prompt for the endpoint location provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown, the information prompt starting point 410 is located within the display area boundary 420. A first ray 430 is emitted from the information prompt starting point 410 at a set tilt angle 440. The first intersection point 450 of the first ray 430 and the display area boundary 420 is the information prompt ending point.
[0080] In another scenario, to avoid text overlap between adjacent prompts, after determining the first intersection point, boundary points within a preset range centered on the first intersection point can be selected as candidate prompt endpoints. For example, multiple points on the display area boundaries within a circular area with a radius of 10 pixels centered on the first intersection point can be selected as candidate prompt endpoints. Boundary points among these candidate endpoints that meet a preset distance condition are then determined as the final prompt endpoints. This preset distance condition is the required distance between the candidate prompt endpoint and the prompt's starting point; for example, the preset distance condition is the candidate prompt endpoint furthest from the prompt's starting point. In this way, while ensuring minimal deviation in the prompt trajectory, the point furthest from the prompt's starting point is selected as the final prompt endpoint.
[0081] The following reference Figure 6 Let me introduce the second method for determining the endpoint of the information prompt.
[0082] Figure 6 This illustration shows another diagram of the endpoint location provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, the first ray emitted from the information prompt starting point 410 intersects the boundary of the display area at the first intersection point 450. Boundary points 510, 520, and 530 within a circular area 500 centered at the first intersection point 450 and with a radius of 30 pixels are selected as candidate information prompt endpoints. The distances between boundary points 510 and 410, 520 and 410, and 530 and 410 are determined respectively. The boundary point with the furthest distance is selected as the information prompt endpoint that meets the preset distance condition. For example, if boundary point 520 has the furthest distance from the information prompt starting point 410, then boundary point 520 is determined as the information prompt endpoint.
[0083] In one example, the display area boundary corresponding to the display area can be determined as follows: multiple second rays are emitted from the center point of the virtual camera towards the second virtual object, and a second intersection point is determined between each second ray and the model of the second virtual object. Then, a boundary point representing the display area boundary of the second virtual object in the current viewpoint is selected from the multiple second intersection points, and the display area boundary of the second virtual object is determined based on the selected boundary point.
[0084] Specifically, multiple rays are emitted from the center point of the virtual camera towards the surface of the 3D model of the second virtual object. These emitted rays are called second rays, and the second rays that intersect with the surface of the 3D model of the second virtual object are called target second rays. Each target second ray has at least one intersection with the surface of the 3D model of the second virtual object; these intersections are called second intersection points. For each target second ray, the second intersection point closest to the virtual camera is selected from the at least one second intersection point corresponding to that target second ray as the target second intersection point.
[0085] Then, the second intersection points corresponding to the second rays of all targets are projected onto the two-dimensional plane corresponding to the virtual camera to obtain multiple two-dimensional projection points. Boundary points representing the display area boundary of the second virtual object in the current viewpoint are selected from the two-dimensional projection points. The closed shape obtained by connecting these boundary points in a clockwise or counterclockwise order is called the display area boundary. The two-dimensional plane is parallel to the current shooting plane of the virtual camera, and the current shooting plane is a plane perpendicular to the center line of the virtual camera's viewpoint.
[0086] In addition, the model of the second virtual object is equipped with part information. After determining the second intersection point of the target, the part information of the second virtual object corresponding to the second intersection point of the target can be obtained, so as to divide the boundary of the display area using the part information. The part information is different for different object types. For example, for humanoid objects, the part information includes, but is not limited to: upper body, left arm, right arm, left leg, and right leg.
[0087] In one example, to improve the calculation efficiency of the display area boundary, it is necessary to limit the number and range of the emitted second rays. Here, the size parameters of the second virtual object can be obtained first, and the number and range of the emitted second rays can be determined according to the size parameters of the second virtual object. The larger the size parameter value, the larger the number and range of the emitted second rays; the smaller the size parameter value, the smaller the number and range of the emitted second rays.
[0088] In one example, when the second virtual object is a different virtual object, the size of the different virtual objects may vary significantly. To reduce the difference in display distance (length of the information prompt trajectory) caused by the size difference, the position of the information prompt endpoint can be corrected based on the size parameters of the second virtual object. Specifically, the size parameters of the second virtual object can be obtained, and a correction coefficient can be determined based on the size parameters. This correction coefficient can then be used to correct the position of the information prompt endpoint, and the corrected information prompt endpoint can be determined as the final information prompt endpoint.
[0089] When determining the correction displacement, the ratio between the size parameter of the second virtual object and the size parameter of the reference object can be determined, and then the correction displacement can be determined based on the ratio. For example, the size parameter is represented by a value between 0 and 1. When the size parameter is 1, it means that the second virtual object has the maximum size. When the size parameter of the second virtual object is 1, the ratio of 1 to the reference size parameter 0.5 is calculated to be 2. By looking up the table, the correction coefficient corresponding to the correction displacement is obtained as -0.1. Then, the distance between the information prompt start point and the information prompt end point is reduced by 10% in the direction of the line connecting the information prompt start point and the information prompt end point, and the position after the distance reduction is determined as the final information prompt end point.
[0090] Here, the tilt angle setting includes any one of the following: a fixed first tilt angle, or a second tilt angle determined based on the display area boundary.
[0091] In one example, when the tilt angle includes a first tilt angle, the angle of 45° or 60° with the horizontal line of the graphical user interface can be directly used as the first tilt angle.
[0092] In one example, when the tilt angle includes a second tilt angle, a target boundary region that meets the boundary area requirements within the display area boundary can be determined. For example, the name of the second virtual object, the projected images corresponding to multiple two-dimensional projection points, the part information corresponding to each two-dimensional projection point, and the display area boundary are input into an image detection model. The image detection model is then used to segment the display area boundary to obtain multiple segmentation boundaries. The boundary area corresponding to each segmentation boundary is determined, and the segmentation boundary that meets the boundary area requirements is selected as the target boundary region. Then, a tilt angle is selected within the target boundary region. For example, the angle between the midline of the target boundary region and the horizontal line of the graphical user interface is selected as the tilt angle.
[0093] The boundary area requirement refers to the area requirement for the portion of the display area that is defined by the boundary lines. For example, the boundary area requirement could refer to the boundary with the largest area among all the segmented boundaries.
[0094] A segmentation boundary can refer to a portion of the boundary within the displayed area. Different segmentation boundaries are used to distinguish different parts of a second virtual object.
[0095] The area corresponding to the dividing boundary can refer to the area of the closed region formed by connecting the two endpoints of the dividing boundary with the starting point of the information prompt.
[0096] The image detection model is a trained neural network model that can divide the display area boundary according to the input data, so as to segment the second virtual object according to each part of the second virtual object, thereby reflecting the segmentation boundary corresponding to each part in the display area boundary.
[0097] Step S1022: Based on the information prompt start point and information prompt end point, determine the area size of the information prompt area corresponding to the display area.
[0098] Here, the line connecting the starting point and the ending point of the information prompt is taken as the two vertices on the diagonal of the preset regular shape. A preset regular shape is constructed based on these two vertices. The preset regular shape can be a rectangle, a square, a parallelogram, etc.
[0099] Then, the size of the preset rule graphic is used as the area size of the information prompt area.
[0100] Step S1023: Provide an information prompt area at the starting point of the information prompt according to the area size.
[0101] Finally, the starting point of the information prompt is taken as the target vertex of the information prompt area. For example, the starting point of the information prompt is taken as the lower left vertex of the information prompt area. The area included by the graphic constructed by the target vertex, the area size and the preset rule graphic is the information prompt area.
[0102] At this time, when the virtual camera's perspective changes or the shape of the second virtual object changes, the display area and the boundary of the display area will change accordingly, thus changing the position of the information prompt's starting point and / or ending point, and consequently altering the information prompt area.
[0103] In step S103, a prompt message is provided in the information prompt area to indicate the preset attribute parameters of the second virtual object.
[0104] In this step, the information prompt trajectory can be a straight line or a curve. The following example uses a straight line from the starting point to the ending point of the information prompt as an illustration of the information prompt process.
[0105] Here, the starting point of the information prompt is denoted as S, and the coordinates of the starting point S are denoted as (Sx, Sy). The tilt angle is set as α. The first ray is denoted as Rs. The ending point of the information prompt is denoted as E, and the coordinates of the ending point S are denoted as (Ex, Ey). Then, the part of the first ray from the starting point to the ending point is the information prompt trajectory. At this time, according to the starting point of the information prompt and the set tilt angle α, the position of the ending point of the information prompt can be determined as: Ex = Sx + te × cos(α); Ey = Sy + te × sin(α). In the above formula, te represents the straight-line distance between the starting point and the ending point of the information prompt.
[0106] In one example, after determining the information prompt area, an information prompt trajectory is selected within the area based on the information prompt's endpoint and starting point. This trajectory provides prompt information with preset attribute parameters. The information prompt trajectory refers to the movement path of the prompt information, which will move from the starting point to the endpoint along this trajectory. As an example, the information prompt trajectory can be a straight line or a curve such as an arc.
[0107] Specifically, the information display duration T can be set. Based on the set duration T, the starting point S, and the ending point E of the information prompt, the motion velocity vector V of the information prompt is calculated: V = Sx(Ex-Sx, Ey-Sy) / T. Therefore, the position J of the prompt at time t is: Jx = Sx + Vx × t; Jy = Sy + Vy × t, where (Jx, Jy) represent the coordinates of position J, and Vx and Vy represent the velocities of the motion velocity vector V in the x-axis and y-axis directions, respectively. Thus, based on the position J of the prompt at time t, the animation of the prompt's movement can be displayed in the graphical user interface until the duration T ends and it disappears.
[0108] Whenever a specified interaction occurs between the first virtual object and the second virtual object, the prompt information will be displayed in the manner described above. For example, whenever the first virtual object causes damage to the second virtual object, the damage value will be used as the prompt information, and the damage value will be controlled to move along the prompt trajectory so that the damage value moves from the prompt start point to the prompt end point. When the damage value moves to the prompt end point, the prompt process corresponding to this specified interaction will end.
[0109] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an information display device in the game corresponding to the information display method in the game. Since the principle of the device in this application is similar to the information display method in the game described above in this application, the implementation of the device can refer to the implementation of the method, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

The area size of the information prompt area changes with the display area. The specified interaction behavior includes game behavior that adjusts the preset attribute parameters of the second virtual object.
[0113] The prompt information display module 603 is used to provide prompt information in the information prompt area to indicate the preset attribute parameters of the second virtual object.
[0114] In one possible implementation of this application, the change in the size of the information prompt area with the change in the display area includes: the size of the information prompt area changes according to the change in the display area of the second virtual object under different viewing angles and / or different forms.

[0119] In one possible embodiment of this application, the prompt endpoint determination module further includes a correction coefficient determination module and a prompt endpoint correction module. The correction coefficient determination module is used to obtain the body shape parameters of the second virtual object and determine the correction coefficient based on the body shape parameters.
