[0019] <First Embodiment> Next, taking the game system 1000 as shown in FIG. 1 as an example of an implementation entity, the processing executed by the processor for a game program stored in a computer-readable storage medium storing game programs according to several embodiments will be described.

[0020] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the following processing flow that the game program causes the processor to execute. As shown in FIG. 2, it includes the following steps S11 to S13.

[0021] Step S11: Display a container and an operation object adapted to the content in the container on the graphics user interface, and a target trajectory of the operation object is displayed on the content.

[0022] Step S12: In response to the player's control over the manipulated object, control the manipulated object to move within the container and display the movement trajectory of the manipulated object within the container in the graphics user interface.

[0023] In the embodiments of this application, the manipulated object may be displayed as a tea set, cooking utensil, or other form of tool in the game, depending on the actual needs. The tea set may be an instrument necessary for use in the tea ceremony, such as a tea spoon, tea strainer, tea needle, or tea whisk. In this embodiment, the user can complete the game's target by dragging and moving the manipulated object. The size and shape of the manipulated object can be set according to the actual needs, for example, as shown in Figure 3, a cylindrical interactive control corresponding to a tea whisk. As shown in Figure 3, a container is also displayed in the game's graphics user interface. The large circle in Figure 3 corresponds to a tea bowl container, and the container may contain contents that are suitable for the manipulated object. For example, if the container is a tea bowl, the contents may be an object such as tea or powdered tea, and the manipulated object may be a tea utensil such as a tea whisk.

[0024] In this example, the player can control the manipulated object, and the method of controlling the manipulated object may be by having the user input a target position on the graphics user interface, causing the manipulated object to move to the corresponding target position. Alternatively, the player may drag the manipulated object, instructing it to move within the container in response to continuous mouse or finger movements on the interface.

[0025] In one example of this embodiment, the movement trajectory of the manipulated object within the container is displayed by the change in the shape of the contents within the container.

[0026] In this embodiment, as an object moves within a container, its path changes the state of the contents, creating visual feedback. For example, in a simulated tea ceremony scene, when the whisk (a manipulated object) is stirred within the tea bowl container, the tea contents undergo a corresponding dynamic change in real time. For instance, the whisk's movement trajectory can be visually represented by patterns formed on the surface of the tea, the distribution of bubbles, or a gradient in liquid transparency. The changes in the contents' morphology accurately map the manipulation path, enhancing the immersion of the manipulation feedback.

[0027] Step S13: Determine whether the player has completed the target task based on the positional relationship between the movement trajectory of the manipulated object and the target trajectory.

[0028] In this embodiment, a target trajectory can also be displayed on the contents of the graphics user interface. The target trajectory is the path that the user intends to take when using an object, and the method for setting the target trajectory may correspond to how the object is used in the actual scene. For example, if the object is a tea whisk, the target trajectory may be a counterclockwise circular trajectory, corresponding to how the whisk is used to stir powdered tea and hot water in the actual scene. In other examples, different types of target trajectories may be set and corresponded to other different types of objects. The display form of the target trajectory may be a continuous linear trajectory or a discontinuous trajectory composed of multiple point positions.

[0029] In this example, it is possible to determine whether the player has completed the target task based on the positional relationship between the manipulated object and the target trajectory. For example, if the user controls the manipulated object to move along the target trajectory, it can be determined that the player has completed the target task.

[0030] In this embodiment, the graphics user interface displays an object for the player to manipulate and a container containing its contents. The player manipulates the contents displayed in the container by moving the manipulated object, and the system determines whether the player has achieved the target task based on the positional relationship between the target trajectory on the contents and the movement trajectory of the manipulated object. By using this interactive method, the player can simulate various processes in different fields of the real world within the game interface, thereby improving the realism and playability of the game.

[0031] In one example of this embodiment, the game program causes the game system to execute a strategy game, and upon completion of the target task, the game program causes the processor to further execute a process that increases the attribute parameter value of the virtual character controlled by the player, or increases the resource parameter value of the faction to which the player belongs.

[0032] In the embodiments of this application, the strategy game is a game type centered on strategic simulation, emphasizing that the player achieves goals through resource management, tactical layout, and long-term planning. Such games typically include complex decision-making systems such as city building, military deployment, scientific and technological development, and diplomatic games, requiring the player to balance short-term gains with long-term development using limited resources. The processing performed by the aforementioned processor can be applied to strategy games and can enrich the gameplay of strategy games. After completing a target task, the attribute parameter values ​​of the virtual character controlled by the player can be adjusted. This increase can be temporary or permanent, for example, increasing attack power by 3 points and lasting for 1 minute, or permanently increasing the character's strength attribute. In addition to strengthening the virtual character, the resource parameter values ​​of the player's faction can also be increased upon completion of the target task, and these resource parameter values ​​may be battle resource parameters such as food, wood, stone, or even morale. The player's faction may include only the player themselves, or it may include the player and their allies.

[0033] In this example, integrating the completion method of target tasks provided to a storage medium with a strategy game enriches the gameplay and playability of the strategy game, enhances the depth of strategy, provides players with positive feedback on gains, increases user engagement, and avoids the problem of server idleness due to player attrition.

[0034] In one example of this embodiment, the target trajectory is displayed on the contents in the form of multiple set trajectory points, the multiple set trajectory points include a first target trajectory point, and the display form of the first target trajectory point is different from that of the other set trajectory points.

[0035] In one example, the trajectory is displayed in the form of multiple set trajectory points. Furthermore, a target trajectory point can be displayed to show the user the next position to be reached by controlling the manipulated object. In this example, the target trajectory point may be displayed separately from the other set trajectory points. For example, as shown in Figure 4, the black triangles are set trajectory points, and the white triangles are the target trajectory points among the set trajectory points.

[0036] In one example of this embodiment, the operation object is equipped with a determination unit, and determining whether the player has completed the target task based on the positional relationship between the operation object's movement trajectory and the target trajectory includes, when the determination unit comes into contact with a first target trajectory point, hiding the first target trajectory point and displaying a second target trajectory point that has the same display form as the first target trajectory point among multiple trajectory points, and determining that the player has completed the target task when the determination unit has come into contact with all target trajectory points in order and all the set trajectory points in the graphics user interface are hidden.

[0037] In this example, the manipulated object includes a determination unit, which is the control part that performs game target determination. This unit can be shown or hidden in the graphics user interface as needed, and the position or trajectory of the determination unit can be used to determine whether the manipulated object has moved to the target position or along the target trajectory. In the example shown in Figure 3, the dotted line represents the determination unit of the manipulated object. The finger position is the target position that the user wants to move by controlling the manipulated object. In this example, when the user controls and moves the manipulated object and the determination unit touches the first target trajectory point, an instruction can be given to the graphics user interface. In this example, the first target trajectory point that was touched can be hidden, and a second target trajectory point can be determined and displayed from multiple target trajectory points. That is, the example of trajectory points shown to the left of the arrow in Figure 4 is changed to what is shown to the right of the arrow. In this embodiment, it is also possible to display the next set trajectory points simultaneously in the graphics user interface, avoiding problems such as the interface becoming cluttered due to too many trajectory points being displayed simultaneously or trajectory points overlapping.

[0038] <Second Example> In addition to the first embodiment, the second embodiment provides a feasible method for moving the manipulated object.

[0039] In one example of this embodiment, the manipulated object includes a drag control unit, which has a fixed relative positional relationship with a determination unit, and controlling the manipulated object to move within the container includes determining a target position indicated by the player and controlling the manipulated object to move toward the target position based on the positional relationship between the target position and the drag control unit, the direction of movement of the manipulated object is the direction from the center of the drag control unit toward the target position, and the movement speed of the manipulated object is determined based on the distance from the center of the drag control unit toward the target position.

[0040] The manipulated object includes a drag control unit, which is the part that enables drag control of the manipulated object. The user can trigger the manipulated object and start dragging it by lightly touching or long-pressing this part. The relative positional relationship between the drag control unit and the detection unit is fixed; that is, they move synchronously when both move and stop synchronously when both stop. In the example shown in Figure 3, the dotted line represents the detection unit of the manipulated object, and the circular upper surface of the cylindrical manipulated object is the drag control unit.

[0041] In this example, the direction of movement of the drag control unit may be along the direction of the target position, as the target position typically changes dynamically in response to player input during a game. Therefore, the drag control unit can always follow the target position, creating a tracking effect, and its movement speed can be determined based on the distance from the center of the drag control unit to the target position. For example, a correspondence between distance and speed can be set, and this correspondence may be a positive correlation, meaning that the greater the distance, the greater the movement speed. With such a configuration, if the target position entered by the user moves away from the target control at a faster speed, the speed in the target space can also increase synchronously, giving the user a sense of real force and improving the game experience and enjoyment.

[0042] In one example of this embodiment, the game program causes the processor to perform the following processes: Determine the distance from the center of the drag control unit to the target position. If it is determined that the distance falls within a corresponding first distance interval among multiple distance intervals, the first movement speed corresponding to the first distance interval is used as the target movement speed of the manipulated object. Each of the multiple distance intervals corresponds to a different movement speed, and the lower limit of the distance interval has a positive correlation with the movement speed.

[0043] In this example, multiple distance intervals can be pre-set. These intervals can be the pixel distance between two objects, or a virtual distance within the game scene. The corresponding interface can be called by the engine within the game program to determine the distance. Depending on the situation, multiple distance intervals can be set, such as 0-100, 101-200, or 201-300. In this example, each of the preset intervals corresponds to a different movement speed. In this example, the speed corresponding to a preset interval is positively correlated with the lower limit of the interval. That is, the longer the distance, the faster the corresponding drag control unit moves; the closer the distance, the slower the movement speed. This configuration allows the speed in the target space to increase synchronously when the user-inputted target position moves away from the target control at a faster speed, giving the user a sense of powerful control over the manipulated object and improving the game experience and enjoyment. Simultaneously, if the manipulated object stops at the target position without moving, it will gradually decelerate and move towards the target position, displaying a slow stopping effect.

[0044] <Third Example> In addition to the first or second embodiment, the game scene of the third embodiment restricts the movement range of the judgment unit and the drag control unit.

[0045] By restricting the generation location of the set trajectory points to within the first region corresponding to the container, users can complete target operations within the corresponding container using the manipulated object, making the game more realistic. At the same time, the movement area of ​​the judgment unit can be restricted in the game scene, guiding the player to operate within this area.

[0046] Controlling the manipulated object to move toward the target position includes, if the target position is in the second region, controlling the center of the drag control unit to move toward the target position, where the second region is the same size and shape as the first region corresponding to the container, and the relative positional relationship between the second region and the first region is the same as the relative positional relationship between the drag control unit and the determination unit. If the target position is outside the second region, the center of the drag control unit is controlled to move toward the position within the second region that is closest to the target position.

[0047] In this example, since the target position entered by the user may exceed the operating range where the manipulated object should be located, a second region is set up, and the second region can be used to determine how the manipulated object moves when such a situation occurs. The second region is the same size and shape as the first region and is used to restrict the movement range of the drag control unit. Furthermore, since the relative positions of the drag control unit and the judgment unit are fixed, the relative positional relationship between the second region and the first region should be the same as the relative positional relationship between the drag control unit and the judgment unit. Thus, the second region and the first region restrict the movement ranges of the drag control unit and the judgment unit, respectively.

[0048] If the target location is within the second region, the drag control unit can be moved to the corresponding location, allowing control to move the center of the drag control unit to that location. If the target location is outside the second region, the drag control unit cannot move to the target location. In this case, the drag control unit can be controlled to move to the position closest to the target region within the second region.
