Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of human-computer interaction technology, and in particular to an interactive narrative game editing and running system based on visual flowcharts. Background Technology

[0002] Interactive story-driven games typically advance their content through plot nodes, branching choices, character dialogues, and multimedia resources, and are widely used in text adventure and interactive narrative scenarios. As the complexity of plot content continues to increase, the game development process places higher demands on plot arrangement, resource allocation, operational control, and multi-platform distribution.

[0003] Most existing interactive story games are developed using scripts to organize the plot. Developers need to manually configure the jump relationships, option relationships, and resource reference relationships between nodes. For interactive story games with a large number of dialogue nodes, selection nodes, and side quest nodes, it is difficult to intuitively display the connection relationships between nodes when using scripts. This can easily lead to duplicate connections, loop connections, and incorrect side quest connections, resulting in a chaotic plot logic.

[0004] Meanwhile, in existing technologies, the editing process and the running process are usually separated. Creators find it difficult to directly view the actual running effect during the editing stage. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the character portrait, the position of the dialog box, the position of the animation, the status of the background music and the scene switching effect, it is usually necessary to repeatedly perform export, run and modify operations, which reduces editing efficiency.

[0005] In addition, existing technologies are insufficient in handling branch status control, multimedia resource management, multi-platform adaptation, and multi-person collaborative editing, which can easily lead to branch connection errors, scattered resource references, high platform adaptation costs, and data overwriting issues caused by version conflicts.

[0006] Therefore, how to provide an interactive narrative game editing and running system based on visual flowcharts is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] One objective of this invention is to propose an interactive narrative game editing and running system based on a visual flowchart. This invention fully utilizes breadth-first search algorithm, Zod Schema full verification, Bundle resource expansion, reverse breadth-first search, RenderTexture frame capture, Tween interpolation, human-computer interaction, semantic understanding, unified video interface for multiple platforms, and optimistic locking version control technology. It details the processing of interactive narrative games from node construction, topology verification, narrative specification, drag-and-drop correction, narrative parsing, side quest control, multi-platform operation to version management. It has the advantages of clear narrative logic, high editing efficiency, consistent running effect, strong multi-platform adaptability, and high security for multi-user collaboration.

[0008] An interactive story game editing and running system based on a visual flowchart according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0009] The data acquisition module is used to acquire node data, connection data, and project configuration data required for creating interactive story games, and to build a set of story nodes based on the node data;

[0010] The topology verification module is used to extract the node connection relationships between each story node based on node data and connection data. It uses a breadth-first search algorithm to perform topology verification operations on the node connection relationships to obtain the story flow chart.

[0011] The plot specification module is used to perform full Zod Schema validation, default value filling, Bundle resource expansion and structured operations on node data, connection data and project configuration data according to the plot flowchart, and extract standard plot sequences;

[0012] The editing and correction module is used to map the standard plot sequence to a preset visual preview canvas, and to receive drag-and-drop editing instructions from the user during human-computer interaction. Based on the drag-and-drop editing instructions, the module performs coordinate correction and attribute write-back on the standard plot sequence to obtain the corrected plot sequence.

[0013] The plot analysis module is used to extract the plot relationships between each plot node based on the corrected plot sequence, and to perform plot analysis and node switching operations to generate a plot state sequence.

[0014] The control adaptation module is used to perform branch node traversal operations based on the plot state sequence using a breadth-first search algorithm, assign state labels according to the traversal results, generate plot control sequences, and perform multi-platform adaptation operations in conjunction with a unified operation interface to obtain interactive plot operation results.

[0015] The version control module is used during game development to perform dual persistence, state fingerprint calculation, and optimistic locking conflict verification operations on the corrected plot sequence and plot state sequence, and generate version control results corresponding to the interactive plot execution results.

[0016] Optionally, the node data includes the node identifier, type, name, display content, resource reference information, and attribute parameters of each plot node; the connection data includes the connection direction, connection relationship, and connection attributes between each plot node; the project configuration data includes the canvas size, design resolution, resource configuration, preview configuration, running configuration, and target publishing platform of the interactive plot game; the plot node set includes start node, start menu node, dialogue node, narration node, selection node, video node, side node, advertisement node, and end node; each plot node corresponds to an independent node data structure, canvas rendering style, attribute editing form, and preview component; the visual preview canvas represents a graphical display area used to display the plot content and editing results corresponding to the standard plot sequence; the user represents the human-computer interaction participant who performs editing operations on the interactive plot game; the human-computer interaction process refers to the user participating in the plot editing process by performing input, drag, and adjustment operations through the visual preview canvas.

[0019] Based on the node connection relationship, perform basic constraint operations, delete node connection relationships where the start and end positions of the connection direction correspond to the same story node, delete node connection relationships with the same connection direction, connection relationship and connection attribute, and use the remaining node connection relationships as the basic constraint results;

[0020] Based on the basic constraint results, the output quantity constraint operation is performed to count the number of connection relationships corresponding to dialogue nodes, narration nodes, video nodes, advertising nodes, start nodes and start menu nodes. When the count result is greater than 1, the node connection relationships that exceed the preset quantity limit are deleted.

[0021] Count the number of connection relationships corresponding to each connection attribute in each selected node. When the number of connection relationships corresponding to the same connection attribute is greater than 1, delete the node connection relationships that exceed the preset limit to obtain the number constraint result.

[0022] The breadth-first search algorithm is used to perform tracing operations on the plot nodes corresponding to both ends of the node connection relationship containing branch nodes in the quantity constraint result. The branch topology relationship corresponding to each node connection relationship is determined. Based on the determination result, the node connection relationship between different branch nodes is deleted, the node connection relationship between branch nodes and non-branch nodes is deleted, and the node connection relationship between non-branch nodes bypassing branch nodes and connecting to subsequent nodes of branch nodes is deleted, thus obtaining the branch constraint result.

[0023] Based on the branch constraint results, perform a cyclic constraint verification operation, delete node connections with opposite directions and mutually referencing relationships, and treat the node connections in the branch constraint results that have not been deleted as valid connections. Construct a story flow graph based on the valid connections.

[0025] Obtain the node data, connection data, and project configuration data corresponding to the story flow diagram. Perform a full ZodSchema validation operation on the node data, connection data, and project configuration data according to the preset node type rules, connection type rules, and project configuration rules.

Node data with missing node identifier, mismatched node type, empty name, missing display content, missing resource reference information, missing attribute parameters and inconsistent field correspondence are deleted.

[0032] According to the preset connection type rules, the connection data is validated. At the same time, the start node identifier and end node identifier corresponding to each connection direction are checked to see if they exist in the node data that has passed the validation. Connection data with missing connection direction, incomplete connection relationship, mismatched connection attributes, or no start node identifier and no end node identifier are deleted.

[0033] According to the preset project configuration rules, the project configuration data is validated. The completeness, format consistency and correspondence of the fields of canvas size, design resolution, resource configuration, preview configuration, and running configuration with the target publishing platform are verified. Project configuration data with missing fields, mismatched field formats and inconsistent field correspondence are deleted.

[0034] Extract the attribute parameters from the verified node data and verify whether there is a background music configuration in the attribute parameters;

[0035] When background music configuration exists in the attribute parameters, check whether the background music configuration is one of three states: background music address, empty string, or not set. An empty string means that the background music will stop playing, and not set means that the background music corresponding to the previous plot node will continue to play.

[0036] When the background music configuration is not present in the attribute parameters, the background music configuration does not belong to any of the three configuration states, the background music configuration is a background music address and does not match the display content and attribute parameters of the corresponding plot node, the background music configuration is an empty string and does not match the attribute parameters of the corresponding plot node, or the background music configuration is not set and does not match the attribute parameters of the corresponding plot node, the display content and attribute parameters of the corresponding plot node are extracted, and the state matching operation is performed according to the preset background music configuration table. The corresponding background music configuration is written according to the matching result.

A forward edge index table is built according to the start node identifier and end node identifier in the connection direction, and a reverse edge index table is built according to the end node identifier and start node identifier in the connection direction. An option routing table is also built according to the connection attributes and end node identifier corresponding to the selected node.

[0049] When the extracted node structure data corresponds to the selected node, the corresponding end node identifier is extracted from the option routing table according to the corresponding connection attribute.

[0050] When the extracted node structure data does not correspond to the selected node, the corresponding end node identifier is extracted according to the forward edge index table;

[0051] The background music configuration is extracted based on the attribute parameters. When the background music configuration in the attribute parameters is in the "unset" state, the reverse breadth-first search algorithm is used to perform a tracing operation based on the reverse edge index table to extract the background music configuration corresponding to the first traced plot node whose background music configuration is not in the "unset" state.

[0052] Based on the extracted display content, resource reference information, attribute parameters, end node identifier, and background music configuration, a node switching operation is performed, and the data corresponding to the node switching operation is written into the plot state sequence to generate an updated plot state sequence.

[0053] Optionally, the control adaptation module includes:

[0060] The sliding window preloading and delayed unloading operations are performed according to the plot control sequence, and the running screen is output by combining the scene switching results, node playback results and side quest status sets to obtain the interactive plot running results.

[0061] Optionally, the multi-platform adaptation operation specifically includes:

[0062] Based on the target publishing platform, a unified video player interface IVideoPlayer is constructed, and preloading and playback control methods are defined in IVideoPlayer;

When the target publishing platform corresponds to an H5 browser, the HTMLVideoElement is called to perform video loading and playback operations, and the video content is overlaid onto the game canvas.

[0064] When the target publishing platform corresponds to a WeChat mini game, call wx.createVideo to perform video loading and playback operations, and load the video content below the game canvas;

[0065] When the target publishing platform corresponds to Douyin mini game, call createOffscreenVideo to perform off-screen video construction operation, and draw the video frame to the off-screen Canvas through paintTo during each frame playback, and encapsulate the drawing result in the off-screen Canvas into a displayable texture object;

[0066] Based on the drawing results in the off-screen Canvas, the current video frame in the off-screen Canvas is written to the displayable texture object, and a frame-by-frame update operation is performed.

[0067] Create a preloaded cache pool in IVideoPlayer and limit the number of caches in the preloaded cache pool to a preset number;

[0068] The preloading method is timed out based on a preset preloading duration threshold. When the preloading method lasts for the preset duration, the preloading ends and the corresponding video loading result is written to the node playback result.

[0070] Perform dual persistence operations on the corrected plot sequence and plot state sequence, writing the corrected plot sequence and plot state sequence to localStorage and the server;

[0071] A stable serialization operation is performed on the corrected plot sequence and plot state sequence, and the state fingerprint of the serialization result is calculated using the MD5 hash algorithm;

[0072] The state fingerprint is compared with the state fingerprint stored on the server. When the comparison results are inconsistent, a fixed-duration anti-shake operation is performed on the corrected plot sequence and the plot state sequence, and the version number corresponding to the state fingerprint and the project configuration data is uploaded to the server.

[0073] An optimistic locking conflict check is performed based on the version number corresponding to the project configuration data and the version number stored on the server. When the conflict check results are consistent, the corrected plot sequence, plot state sequence, state fingerprint and version number stored on the server are updated. When the conflict check results are inconsistent, the corrected plot sequence and plot state sequence are loaded, overwritten and exported based on the user's selection results in the human-computer interaction process to generate version control results.

[0074] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0075] First, this invention organizes the plot nodes, node connections, and branch structures in interactive story games in a unified manner through a visual flowchart, and uses a breadth-first search algorithm to perform topology verification, which can delete duplicate connections, circular connections, and erroneous branch connections during the editing stage, thereby improving the standardization of the plot structure and the accuracy of editing.

[0140] Based on the extracted display content, resource reference information, attribute parameters, end node identifier, and background music configuration, a node switching operation is performed, and the data corresponding to the node switching operation is written into the plot state sequence to generate an updated plot state sequence.

[0141] In this embodiment, the control adapter module includes:

[0160] Based on the target publishing platform, a unified video player interface IVideoPlayer is constructed, and preloading and playback control methods are defined in IVideoPlayer;

[0161] The player selection operation is executed according to the publishing type corresponding to the target publishing platform. When the target publishing platform corresponds to an H5 browser, the HTMLVideoElement is called to perform video loading and playback operations, and the video content is overlaid onto the game canvas.

[0162] When the target publishing platform corresponds to a WeChat mini game, call wx.createVideo to perform video loading and playback operations, and load the video content below the game canvas;

[0163] When the target publishing platform corresponds to Douyin mini game, call createOffscreenVideo to perform off-screen video construction operation, and draw the video frame to the off-screen Canvas through paintTo during each frame playback, and encapsulate the drawing result in the off-screen Canvas into a displayable texture object;

If the comparison results are inconsistent, a 30-second anti-shake operation is performed on the corrected plot sequence and the plot status sequence, and the version number corresponding to the status fingerprint and the project configuration data is uploaded to the server.

[0171] An optimistic locking conflict check is performed based on the version number corresponding to the project configuration data and the version number stored on the server. When the conflict check results are consistent, the corrected plot sequence, plot state sequence, state fingerprint and version number stored on the server are updated. When the conflict check results are inconsistent, the corrected plot sequence and plot state sequence are loaded, overwritten and exported based on the user's selection results in the human-computer interaction process to generate version control results.

[0172] Example 1: To verify the feasibility of this invention in practice, it was applied to the production and release of an interactive story game. This interactive story game includes a main storyline, multiple side storylines, character dialogues, video clips, background music, skeletal animation, frame-by-frame animation, and multiple ending transitions. The overall storyline has a total of 428 nodes, including start nodes, start menu nodes, dialogue nodes, narration nodes, selection nodes, video nodes, side story nodes, advertisement nodes, and end nodes. There are 612 connections between these nodes, 14 side stories, 18 background music tracks, 11 video clips, 27 sets of skeletal animation, and 35 sets of frame-by-frame animation.

[0173] Before this invention, creators primarily maintained story content through scripts. Due to the large number of story nodes and the complex branch structure, issues frequently arose during editing, such as duplicate node connections, incorrect branch-to-main story connections, loop connections, missing background music configurations, and incorrect resource references. Especially in the later stages of the story, as the number of branches increased, creators found it difficult to directly determine the connections between branches using scripts, often requiring repeated checks of the script files. Furthermore, the positions of character portraits, dialogue boxes, skeletal animations, and background music transitions also needed to be reviewed after editing and exported to the runtime environment. If the positions were found to be unsuitable, the creators had to return to the script to modify the coordinates and then re-export and run the script. This entire adjustment process was cumbersome, significantly increasing the production cycle.

[0174] Using this invention, all plot content is first imported into the data acquisition module, automatically generating a set of plot nodes including start nodes, dialogue nodes, selection nodes, branch nodes, video nodes, and end nodes, and automatically converting the jump relationships between nodes into node connection relationships. In the visual preview canvas, the creator arranges each plot node on the canvas by dragging and dropping, and then establishes the connection relationships between nodes by dragging and dropping lines. Whenever a new connection relationship is established, the topology verification module immediately performs branch tracing using a breadth-first search algorithm, and makes real-time judgments on duplicate connections, self-connections, circular connections, cross-branch connections, and connections that bypass branch entrances. When it is detected that a branch node is directly connected to an internal node of another branch, the visual preview canvas immediately pops up a prompt message and automatically deletes the corresponding connection, thereby avoiding errors in subsequent plot logic.

[0175] During the storyline specification process, the system performs a full Zod Schema validation on node data, connection data, and project configuration data, and automatically fills in missing node names, display content, background music configurations, and resource parameters. When a dialogue node lacks background music configuration, the system automatically determines whether the node needs to inherit the background music from the previous node; when a video node lacks a corresponding video resource address, the system automatically marks it as an anomaly and stops subsequent exporting. For skeletal animation and sequence frame animation, the system automatically expands the corresponding skeletal data file, atlas file, and texture file based on the Bundle resource identifier, avoiding the need for creators to manually fill in multiple resource addresses.

[0176] After completing the storyline specifications, creators can drag and adjust character portraits, dialogue boxes, text areas, and animation positions in the visual preview canvas. During the dragging process, the editing and correction module receives dragging commands from the user in real time during human-computer interaction and uses a KAN network to fit the correspondence between the drag displacement result, canvas size, and design resolution, automatically calculating the new design resolution coordinates. After the dragging ends, the corresponding attribute parameters are immediately written back to the corrected storyline sequence, and the preview canvas is refreshed. Creators can directly observe the adjustment results without repeatedly exporting and running the code. For some scenes containing complex dialogues and animation transitions, creators can also directly view character speech highlighting, background music switching, scene transitions, and video playback effects in the preview canvas.

[0177] During the story analysis and execution phase, the system automatically builds a forward edge index table, a reverse edge index table, and an option routing table based on the corrected story sequence. The control and adaptation module performs a breadth-first search traversal of all branch nodes and automatically generates pending, active, and completed states. When a player enters a branch, the system automatically records the corresponding main story return position; when a branch is completed, the system automatically returns to the main story to continue running, while hiding the entry point of the completed branch to avoid repeated triggering. For switching between multiple consecutive scenes, the system first performs texture frame capture on the current scene using RenderTexture, and then performs Tween tweening operations based on the scene switching attributes to achieve scene transition effects such as fade-in / fade-out, sliding, and blurring. Background music uses a reverse breadth-first search to trace the story node with the most recently explicitly configured background music, thereby automatically completing background music inheritance. For different operating environments such as web pages and mini-games, the system uniformly calls the IVideoPlayer interface and automatically switches between HTMLVideoElement, wx.createVideo, and createOffscreenVideo playback modes according to the target publishing platform to achieve consistent operation across multiple platforms.

[0178] During collaborative production, the version control module continuously performs dual persistence on the corrected story sequence and the story state sequence. Edited content is written to localStorage in real time and automatically uploaded to the server after a fixed interval. The system performs stable serialization and MD5 state fingerprint calculation on the corrected story sequence before each save, and performs optimistic locking verification in conjunction with the version number. When two creators modify the same branch simultaneously, the one who saves later will receive a version conflict warning and can choose to load the server version, overwrite the save, or export the differences. Throughout the entire process, no data overwrite issues caused by multiple editors occurred.

[0181] As shown in Table 1, after adopting the present invention, the plot nodes and branch structures can be automatically verified in the editing stage through the breadth-first search algorithm, which reduces the number of node connection errors from 37 to 3, the number of branch connection errors from 19 to 1, and completely eliminates cyclic connections.

[0182] By using visual preview, human-computer interaction drag and drop, and KAN network coordinate fitting, the average number of adjustments to the character portrait position and dialog box position was significantly reduced, and the preview time for a single scene was shortened from 18 seconds to 2 seconds.

[0183] Through the Bundle resource expansion and background music inheritance mechanism, configuration errors in animation resources, video resources, and background music are basically eliminated.

[0184] Through a unified video interface, multi-platform adaptation, and dual persistence mechanisms, the interactive story game maintains stable operation in different operating environments, and no data loss occurs during multi-user collaborative editing.

[0185] Overall, this invention effectively solves the problems of complex plot structure, low editing efficiency, chaotic resource management, difficulty in multi-platform adaptation, and unstable version control in the production of interactive story games.
