[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. The components of the embodiments of this disclosure 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 disclosure provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed disclosure, but merely represents selected embodiments of this disclosure. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, every other embodiment obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort falls within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0032] The terms “a,” “an,” “the,” and “the” are used in this specification to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended inclusion and to mean that there may be other elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.; the terms “first” and “second” are used only as markings and are not a limitation on the number of objects.

[0033] It should be understood that in the embodiments of this disclosure, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more than one" refers to two or more. "And / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship. "Containing A, B, and / or C" means containing any one, two, or three of A, B, and C.

[0034] It should be understood that in the embodiments of this disclosure, "B corresponding to A", "B corresponding to A", "A corresponds to B", or "B corresponds to A" means that B is associated with A, and B can be determined based on A. Determining B based on A does not mean that B is determined solely based on A; B can also be determined based on A and / or other information.

[0035] The map display method in the game provided in the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure can run on a local terminal device or a server.

[0036] The terminal device can be a desktop computer, laptop computer, tablet computer, host device, mobile phone, or other electronic device; this disclosure does not specifically limit it.

[0037] The server can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system consisting of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDN), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. This disclosure does not specifically limit it.

[0038] When the display method in the game runs on the server, the method can be implemented and executed based on the cloud interaction system, which includes the server and client devices.

[0039] 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's display methods are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. 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.

[0040] 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.

[0041] In one possible implementation, this disclosure provides a display method in a game, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device, wherein the terminal device may be the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device in the aforementioned cloud interactive system.

[0042] The execution entity of this method can be a terminal device or a server. The terminal device can be a desktop computer, laptop computer, tablet computer, mobile phone, or other electronic device; this disclosure does not specifically limit it. The server is used to provide background services for the client of the application in the terminal device. For example, the server can be the background server of the aforementioned application.

[0043] Figure 1 This disclosure illustrates a display method in a game according to one embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps S101 to S105.

[0044] Step S101: Display the scene map of the virtual scene; the scene map includes map content and function icons.

[0045] A virtual scene is a game scene built using virtual models (such as virtual building models, virtual water models, virtual surface models, virtual object models, etc.). It is a virtual environment in which controlled virtual characters play games. Controlled virtual characters can perform various virtual behaviors in the virtual scene, including attack behaviors (such as shooting, slashing, etc.), movement behaviors (such as walking, jumping, swinging, etc.), picking up behaviors (such as picking up weapons, picking up items, etc.), and performing actions (such as performing dance moves, making greeting gestures, etc.), etc.

[0046] A virtual scene map is a top-down planar map of the virtual scene. Unlike a planar view of the virtual scene presented from a top-down perspective, the scene map concisely presents the terrain features of the virtual scene (such as water bodies, plains, mountains, routes, etc.) from a top-down viewpoint; it is the map content, rather than a direct top-down view of the virtual models within the virtual scene. Additionally, optionally, the scene map can use function icons to indicate the location of virtual characters (such as controlled virtual characters, and teammate virtual characters in the same faction as the controlled virtual character), indicate interactive locations provided in the virtual scene (such as quest points, teleportation points, instance locations, marker points, etc.), and provide interactive functions (such as virtual trading, teleportation, etc.), etc.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, a view of the player object and a map display area for the virtual scene map can be provided, in which the virtual scene map can be displayed. For ease of distinction, the scene map displayed in the map display area will be referred to as a minimap below.

[0048] In this context, the player object refers to the player or the device or program that acts as the player, i.e., the controller of the controlled virtual object. In the following text, the player object will sometimes be referred to simply as the player.

[0049] The player's field of view is captured by a virtual camera set up within the virtual scene. This virtual camera corresponds to the controlled virtual character and can be positioned at preset locations around the character, such as above, behind, or in front of it. When the player moves the controlled virtual character within the virtual scene, the virtual camera follows the character, capturing the character's field of view during movement. When the player controls the game's viewpoint, they can rotate the virtual camera; its position remains unchanged, only its orientation changes, allowing the player to capture different perspectives from the character's current location.

[0050] In this embodiment, the map display area can be located within a preset display area in the graphical user interface, such as the upper left corner area or the upper right corner area in the graphical user interface.

[0051] In this embodiment, the size of the map display area can be a fixed size, which is smaller than the size of the view screen.

[0052] In this embodiment, the player's field of view can be located in the scene layer of the graphical user interface, while the map display area for the virtual scene map can be located in the UI (User Interface) layer of the graphical user interface. In this embodiment, the display layer of the map display area is higher than that of the field of view. Furthermore, because the size of the map display area is smaller than the size of the field of view, the map display area will obscure part of the field of view.

[0053] In this embodiment, a first map range with a radius of X, centered on the scene location where the controlled virtual character is located, can be displayed in the map display area. That is, as the controlled virtual character moves, the map range presented by the minimap will also be continuously refreshed and changed as the controlled virtual character moves, so as to ensure that the minimap always follows the controlled virtual character and presents the surrounding environment of the controlled virtual character.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, a scene map of the virtual scene can be displayed in response to a map expansion operation. For ease of distinction, the scene map displayed triggered by a map expansion operation will be referred to as the large map below.

[0055] In this embodiment, in response to the map unfolding operation, the player's field of view can be canceled in the graphical user interface (GUI), and a map interface can be displayed in the GUI. The map interface can display a scene map of a fourth map range within the virtual scene, which is larger than the first map range. The fourth map range can be the entire map range of the scene map for the virtual scene. Players can zoom in and out of the scene map displayed in the map interface using map zoom operations, and / or move the scene map displayed in the map interface using map movement operations, thereby adjusting the map range displayed in the map interface.

[0056] In this embodiment, the virtual scene map can be displayed full-screen in the graphical user interface in response to a map expansion operation; that is, the size of the large map can be adapted to the size of the graphical user interface provided by the game. Within the large map, players can perform operations such as map zooming, map movement, and marking locations.

[0057] Optionally, the above map expansion operation may include touch operations (such as click operations, long press operations, etc.) on the map display area of ​​the scene map of the virtual scene, shortcut key operations (such as clicking the M key on the keyboard), etc.

[0058] Optionally, the above map zooming operations may include mouse wheel operations (e.g., scrolling the mouse wheel up to zoom in on the scene map displayed in the map interface, and scrolling the mouse wheel down to zoom out on the scene map displayed in the map interface), two-finger swipe touch operations (e.g., swiping two fingers close together on the screen to zoom in on the scene map displayed in the map interface, and swiping two fingers far apart on the screen to zoom in on the scene map displayed in the map interface), and so on.

[0059] Optionally, the above map movement operations may include mouse sliding operations (such as sliding the mouse while holding down the left mouse button), touch sliding operations (such as sliding within the display area of ​​the scene map in the map interface), and so on.

[0060] In this embodiment, the function icons included in the large map and the function icons included in the small map may be different. For example, the small map may include function icons for indicating the location of the controlled virtual character, while the large map may not include function icons for indicating the location of the controlled virtual character.

[0061] Step S102: Determine the first icon style based on the first scaling factor of the scene map.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the scaling factor of the scene map is the scaling magnification / scaling ratio of the scene map, which refers to the ratio between the scaled-up size of the scene map and its original size. Optionally, the scaling factor can be expressed as a percentage, indicating the degree of scaling of the scene map. Optionally, increasing the scaling factor of the scene map means that the scaled-up size of the scene map increases (i.e., the numerator of the scaling factor increases), indicating that the scene map is enlarged. Some map areas need to be moved out of the scene map's display area (fixed size), so the map area presented within the fixed-size scene map display area is smaller, making it easier to observe map details. Conversely, decreasing the scaling factor of the scene map means that the scaled-up size of the scene map decreases (i.e., the numerator of the scaling factor decreases), indicating that the scene map is shrunk. Some map areas need to be moved into the scene map's display area (fixed size), so the map area presented within the fixed-size scene map display area is larger, making it easier to observe the overall map. For example, a scene map zoom factor of 100% indicates that the scene map is currently at its original size, and the entire map area can be displayed; for example, a scene map zoom factor of 300% indicates that the scene map size has been enlarged by 3 times, and the entire map area can be displayed. Figure 1 / 3 map range.

[0063] Icon styles (including the first icon style, the second icon style, etc. mentioned in this disclosure) are the display styles of function icons in the scene map. They are the forms of expression of function icons. The icon style of a function icon determines how the function icon is presented visually, and can reflect the design style of the function icon, convey information related to the function icon, and so on.

[0064] In this step, the current zoom level of the scene map is the first zoom level. The first icon style can be determined based on the first zoom level of the scene map. That is, the icon style of the function icon is related to the zoom level of the scene map.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, a first icon style for a specific gameplay can be determined based on a first scaling factor of the scene map and the gameplay, so that function icons for the specific gameplay can be displayed in the scene map using the first icon style.

[0066] In this embodiment, when the scaling factor of the scene map is the same, different gameplay or different sets of gameplay can adopt different icon styles. Thus, the icon style adopted by the function icon is not only related to the current scaling factor of the scene map, but also to the gameplay, such as the gameplay type or the gameplay priority.

[0067] For example, the gameplay types in the game can include task types, competitive types, casual types, gathering types, etc. Optionally, task types can include gameplay related to game tasks, such as level-up tasks, team tasks, etc. Optionally, competitive types can include ball sports subtypes such as basketball and football, track and field subtypes such as running and high jump, etc. Optionally, casual types can include puzzle-solving subtypes such as riddles and Sudoku, music-related subtypes such as singing and playing instruments, etc. Optionally, gathering types can include gathering subtypes such as attending virtual weddings and virtual concerts, etc. It should be noted that the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure only take the example of gameplay types including two levels (i.e., gameplay types including first-level types and second-level subtypes). Optionally, the levels of gameplay types can be set according to needs, such as setting it to three levels, four levels, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0068] For example, the gameplay priority of a game can be set according to needs, thereby dividing the gameplay into multiple gameplay priorities. For instance, the highest priority can be set for mission-type gameplay, followed by competitive gameplay, and the lowest priority for casual and gathering-type gameplay.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, the scaling factor of the scene map can vary within a preset scaling factor range. The preset scaling factor range can be divided into multiple scaling factor sub-ranges. The step of determining the first icon style based on the first scaling factor of the scene map can be implemented in the following way: obtain the first icon style corresponding to the first scaling factor sub-range to which the first scaling factor belongs.

[0070] In this embodiment, the scaling factor of the scene map is limited in range. The scaling factor of the scene map cannot exceed the preset scaling factor range. The preset scaling factor range can be divided into multiple scaling factor sub-ranges. The function icon is configured with an icon style in each scaling factor sub-range. Thus, when the scaling factor sub-range to which the current first scaling factor of the scene map belongs is the first scaling factor sub-range, the first icon style corresponding to the function icon in the first scaling factor sub-range can be obtained.

[0071] In this embodiment, the function icons do not change their style when the scaling factor changes within a certain range. Only simple zooming in and out will cause the function icons to change their style. This way, even minor changes in the scene map scaling factor will not cause changes in the function icon style, thus solving the problems of high performance consumption and visually unfriendly appearance caused by excessively frequent icon style changes.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, for function icons, one scaling factor can correspond to one icon style, thus making the icon style variations more diverse and flexible.

[0073] In an optional embodiment, the step of determining the first icon style for a specified gameplay based on the first scaling factor of the scene map and the gameplay can be implemented in the following way: obtaining the first icon style corresponding to the first scaling factor sub-interval to which the first scaling factor belongs for the specified gameplay, so that the function icon for the specified gameplay can be displayed in the scene map with the first icon style.

[0074] In this embodiment, the function icons for different gameplay modes can each correspond to an icon style within the same scaling factor sub-range.

[0075] Step S103: Display the function icon in the scene map using the first icon style.

[0076] In an optional embodiment, the function icon may be displayed in the scene map in a first icon style based on a first scaling factor.

[0077] In this embodiment, the determination of the first icon style needs to be based on the first scaling factor, and the display of the function icon also needs to be based on the first scaling factor. That is, when the function icon is displayed in the first icon style, the icon size needs to be adapted to the first scaling factor of the scene map.

[0078] Optionally, the step of displaying the function icon in the scene map with the first icon style based on the first scaling factor can be achieved by the following steps: obtaining the first icon size corresponding to the first scaling factor; displaying the function icon in the scene map with the first icon style and the first icon size.

[0079] In this embodiment, each scaling factor can correspond to an icon size. The first scaling factor corresponds to the first icon size. After determining the first icon style, the function icon can be displayed in the scene map with the first icon style and the first icon size. That is, the style of the function icon is the first icon style and the size of the function icon is the first icon size.

[0080] In an optional embodiment, the display parameters such as icon transparency and icon brightness when the function icon is displayed in the first icon style need to be adapted to the first scaling factor of the scene map.

[0081] Optionally, the transparency of the first icon corresponding to the first scaling factor can be obtained; the function icon can be displayed in the scene map with the first icon style and the first icon transparency.

[0082] Optionally, obtain the brightness of the first icon corresponding to the first scaling factor; display the function icon in the scene map with the first icon style and the first icon transparency.

[0083] Step S104: In response to the change of the scaling factor of the scene map from the first scaling factor to the second scaling factor, determine the second icon style according to the second scaling factor.

[0084] In an optional embodiment, the scaling factor of the scene map can be changed from a first scaling factor to a second scaling factor based on the map scaling operation.

[0085] In an optional embodiment, step S104 can be implemented by the following steps S1041 to S1042.

[0086] Step S1041: In response to the change of the scaling factor of the scene map from the first scaling factor to the second scaling factor, determine whether the second scaling factor and the first scaling factor belong to the same scaling factor sub-interval;

[0087] Step S1042: If the second scaling factor and the first scaling factor do not belong to the same scaling factor sub-interval, obtain the second icon style of the second scaling factor sub-interval to which the second scaling factor belongs.

[0088] When the zoom level of the scene map changes from a first zoom level to a second zoom level, it can be determined whether the second zoom level and the first zoom level belong to the same zoom level sub-interval. If the second zoom level and the first zoom level do not belong to the same zoom level sub-interval, the second icon style corresponding to the second zoom level sub-interval can be obtained, so that the function icon is displayed in the scene map using the second icon style. The implementation method for obtaining the second icon style corresponding to the second zoom level sub-interval can refer to the implementation method for obtaining the first icon style corresponding to the first zoom level sub-interval.

[0089] In this embodiment, when the scaling factor of the scene map changes between the scaling factor sub-intervals, the icon style corresponding to the changed scaling factor sub-interval can be obtained, and the icon style of the function icons displayed in the scene map will also change accordingly.

[0090] In an optional embodiment, in response to the scene map's scaling factor changing from the second scaling factor to the third scaling factor, it can be determined whether the third scaling factor and the second scaling factor belong to the same scaling factor sub-interval; if the third scaling factor and the second scaling factor belong to the same scaling factor sub-interval, a function icon can be displayed in the scene map in the second icon style.

[0091] In this embodiment, when the scaling factor of the scene map changes within the same scaling factor sub-range, the icon style can still use the icon style before the scaling factor change, and the icon style of the function icons displayed in the scene map will not change.

[0092] Step S105: Display the function icon in the scene map using the second icon style.

[0093] In an optional embodiment, the function icons can be displayed in the scene map in a second icon style based on a second scaling factor.

[0094] In this embodiment, the determination of the second icon style needs to be based on the second scaling factor, and the display of the function icon also needs to be based on the second scaling factor. That is, when the function icon is displayed in the second icon style, the icon size needs to be adapted to the second scaling factor of the scene map.

[0095] Optionally, the step of displaying the function icon in the scene map with the second icon style based on the second scaling factor can be achieved by the following steps: obtaining the second icon size corresponding to the second scaling factor; and displaying the function icon in the scene map with the second icon style and the second icon size.

[0096] In this embodiment, each scaling factor can correspond to an icon size. The second scaling factor corresponds to the second icon size. After determining the second icon style, the function icon can be displayed in the scene map with the second icon style and the second icon size. That is, the style of the function icon is the second icon style and the size of the function icon is the second icon size.

[0097] In an optional embodiment, when the function icon is displayed in the second icon style, the display parameters such as icon transparency and icon brightness need to be adapted to the second scaling factor of the scene map.

[0098] Optionally, the transparency of the second icon corresponding to the second scaling factor can be obtained; the function icon can be displayed in the scene map with the second icon style and the second icon transparency.

[0099] Optionally, obtain the brightness of the second icon corresponding to the second scaling factor; display the function icon in the scene map with the second icon style and the second icon transparency.

[0100] In an optional embodiment, the first icon style corresponds to the first object information, the second icon style corresponds to the second object information, and the first object information and the second object information may have an inclusion relationship.

[0101] The object information corresponding to the icon style of a function icon can be information associated with the function icon, such as the gameplay (e.g., basketball), the gameplay type (e.g., ball game type), the gameplay priority, and so on. The object information corresponding to the icon style can be represented through style elements such as color, graphics, and lines. For example, a circle can represent a ball game type, basketball lines within a circle can represent basketball within a ball game type, and red can represent the highest gameplay priority, and so on.

[0102] Optionally, in response to a change in the scene map's zoom level from a first zoom level to a second zoom level, if the second zoom level is greater than the first zoom level, the scene map can be zoomed in. The icon style of the function icons in the scene map can then be changed from a first icon style to a second icon style. The second object information corresponding to the second icon style can include the first object information corresponding to the first icon style. Zooming in on the scene map facilitates observation of detailed information. Therefore, after zooming in on the scene map, the icon styles of the function icons can convey more information associated with the function icons, allowing players to learn more about the function icons.

[0103] Optionally, in response to a change in the scene map's zoom level from a first zoom level to a second zoom level, if the second zoom level is less than the first zoom level, the scene map can be scaled down. The icon style of the function icons in the scene map can then be changed from a first icon style to a second icon style. The first object information corresponding to the first icon style can include the second object information corresponding to the second icon style. Scaled-down the scene map facilitates observation of its overall information. Therefore, after scaling down the scene map, fewer pieces of information associated with the function icons can be conveyed through their icon styles, allowing players to focus on the overall scene map.

[0104] In this disclosure, regardless of how the zoom level of the scene map changes, the function icons in the scene map can still be displayed, and they will be displayed in an icon style that adapts to the current zoom level. This avoids the problem of reduced map information acquisition caused by the disappearance of function icons when the zoom level is small, and allows players to obtain information adapted to the current zoom level through the icon style.

[0105] In the exemplary embodiments provided in this disclosure, taking an electronic device as a mobile terminal as an example, such as... Figure 2 As shown in (a), players can click on map display area 01 of the scene map for the virtual scene in the graphical user interface to trigger the full-screen display of scene map 02, as follows. Figure 2 As shown in (b), the scene map 02 includes map content and function icons 03. The scaling factor range of [60%, 200%] can be divided into three scaling factor sub-intervals: [60%, 100%], (100%, 150%], and (150%, 200%). The current scaling factor of scene map 02 is 70%, which is within the first scaling factor sub-interval. At this time, all function icons 03 in scene map 02 can be displayed as inverted triangle icons. Specifically, function icon 03-S1, which indicates the location of the basketball game, can be displayed as an inverted triangle icon; function icon 03-Y1, which indicates the location of the race game, can also be displayed as an inverted triangle icon.

[0155] The graphical user interface can provide indicator 04. On a PC, players can move the indicator by sliding the mouse; on a console, players can move the indicator using the gamepad's joystick. Hovering the indicator over a function icon will trigger the display of the corresponding icon information and / or the corresponding interactive guidance information. For example, such as... Figure 4 As shown in (c), the player will indicate marker 04 (in Figure 4Hovering the indicator (arrow-shaped) over the location of function icon A will trigger the display of the first icon information corresponding to function icon A (e.g., "M Province / N City / Teleportation Point P") and the corresponding interactive guidance information (e.g., "F Teleport to"). The icon information "M Province / N City / Teleportation Point P" indicates the name and location of teleportation point P, while the interactive guidance information "F Teleport to" indicates the teleportation interaction function and operation for teleportation point P. Optionally, the first icon information and the interactive guidance information corresponding to function icon A can be displayed to the right of function icon A, with the first icon information displayed above the interactive guidance information.

[0156] With indicator 04 hovering over function icon A, if the player presses the F key according to the interaction guide, the controlled virtual character can be teleported to teleportation point P in the virtual scene.

[0157] When displaying a scene map, such as Figure 5 As shown in (a), if the player clicks function icon A (by left-clicking with the mouse), an icon information page 05 will be displayed. Figure 5 As shown in (b), the icon information page 05 can display the second icon information corresponding to function icon A, such as the name of teleportation point P, the location of teleportation point P, the administrator of teleportation point P (e.g., which game faction occupies it), etc. The icon information page can also display a teleportation control 06. Players can click on the teleportation control 06 to teleport the controlled virtual character to teleportation point P in the virtual scene.

[0158] On PC, players can use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the scene map. On console, players can use the right analog stick of the gamepad to zoom in and out of the scene map. As the scene map zooms in and out, the icon style of function icon 03 will change accordingly.

Figure 7 As shown in (b), the scene map 02 can simultaneously display map content, function icons 03, the first icon information corresponding to each function icon, and the interactive guidance information corresponding to each function icon. Function icons include, for example, function icon A indicating a teleportation point P in the virtual scene, function icon B indicating the virtual bank withdrawal (virtual currency) function, function icon C indicating a game task K, and so on. Optionally, the first icon information corresponding to function icon 03 and the interactive guidance information corresponding to function icon 03 can be displayed to the right of function icon 03, with the first icon information displayed above the interactive guidance information.

[0166] For example, game task K is the task of feeding animals, function icon C corresponds to the first icon information (e.g., "feed animals"), and function icon C corresponds to the interaction guidance information (e.g., "double-click to feed").

[0167] When the scene map is displayed, if the player double-clicks the function icon C on the device screen, they can feed the virtual animal at the scene location indicated by the function icon C.

[0168] When the scene map is displayed, if the player clicks the first icon information corresponding to function icon C on the device screen, an icon information page will appear. This page can display the second icon information corresponding to function icon C, including details such as the name of the game task K (i.e., feeding the animal), a description of the feeding method, available food, and the feeding time period. The icon information page can also display a feeding control; clicking this control allows the player to feed the virtual animal at the scene location indicated by function icon C with a default amount of default food, for example, using the default feeding method.

[0169] On mobile devices, players can use two-finger touch controls to zoom in and out of the scene map. As the scene map zooms in and out, the icon styles of the function icons will change accordingly.
