The local terminal device is used for interacting with the player through a graphical user interface, namely, downloading and installing a game program and running through an electronic device conventionally. The manner in which the local terminal device provides the graphical user interface to the player may include a variety of ways, for example, it may be rendered for display on a display screen of the terminal or provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen for presenting a graphical user interface including a game screen and a processor for running the game, generating the graphical user interface, and controlling display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

In a possible implementation manner, an embodiment of the present invention provides a game control method, where a graphical user interface is provided by a terminal device, where the terminal device may be the aforementioned local terminal device, and may also be the aforementioned client device in a cloud interaction system. Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a game control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a terminal device provides a graphical user interface, and contents displayed on the graphical user interface include a part of a game scene, at least one virtual character, and a shortcut icon, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps:

step S202, responding to touch operation aiming at the shortcut icon, displaying a virtual roulette on a graphical user interface, wherein the virtual roulette comprises a target control located at the center of the virtual roulette and a plurality of slot positions, each slot position comprises a first area and a second area, the first area is located between the center and the second area, and each slot position is used for establishing a binding relationship with at least one virtual article.

The graphical user interface in the above steps may be a game interface provided for user operation. The interface displays part of game scenes, virtual characters operated by players, virtual characters operated by other players and shortcut icons. The player may trigger the display of a virtual roulette wheel on the graphical user interface by clicking on the icon. The target control in the above step may be a control capable of moving on the virtual wheel, for example, a circular operation icon, but is not limited thereto, and in an initial state (i.e., the user does not perform any operation), the target control may be located at a center position of the virtual wheel, and may change position accordingly with dragging. The plurality of slot positions in the above steps may be uniformly distributed around the virtual roulette wheel, the plurality of slot positions may be arranged clockwise or counterclockwise, and all the slot positions have the same size, wherein the number of the slot positions on the virtual roulette wheel may be a fixed number, for example, 8 slot positions may be arranged on the virtual roulette wheel, thereby preventing the number of the slot positions from being too large and affecting the normal operation of the player; the number of the slot positions can also be determined according to the number of the virtual articles bound by the player, so that the player can see all the bound articles on the virtual roulette, the bound relationship between the slot positions and the virtual articles can be conveniently determined by the player, icons of the bound virtual articles can be displayed on the slot positions, and the player can select to use the virtual articles by moving the target control to the slot positions. The virtual object in the above steps may be an object provided for the user to use in the game scene, and may be, for example, equipment (such as weapons, armor, etc.), skills, etc., but is not limited thereto.

In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, in the graphical user interface, when the player needs to use the item, the "shortcut button" icon may be touched by a finger, and the electronic device may open the shortcut interface after detecting the touch operation, i.e., display a virtual wheel on the graphical user interface. It should be noted that, the screen is kept pressed by fingers, so that the shortcut use interface is ensured to be displayed on the graphical user interface; and the quick use interface is closed by releasing the quick use interface through fingers.

In an optional embodiment, the number of the slot positions arranged on the virtual wheel disc is fixed to 8, and when the slot positions are not provided with the virtual article, the slot positions are still displayed, but the content of the slot positions is empty.

And S204, responding to the dragging operation aiming at the target control, and controlling the target control to move in the graphical user interface along with the dragging operation.

During the movement of the player's finger holding the target control, the target control can be controlled to move along with the movement of the finger.

Step S206, responding to the target control reaching the first area of the first slot position in the plurality of slot positions, and selecting the first slot position.

Alternatively, the first slot position may be determined by: acquiring operation parameters of the dragging operation; a first slot position is determined based on the operating parameter.

The operation parameters in the above steps include, but are not limited to, parameter information such as a dragging angle and a dragging distance of the target control, and since each slot has a fixed position, the target slot can be determined by the parameter information such as the dragging angle and the dragging distance of the target control.

Optionally, the operating parameters include at least: dragging the angle, wherein determining the first slot position based on the operating parameter comprises: acquiring a preset angle range corresponding to each slot position; comparing the dragging angle with a preset angle range corresponding to the plurality of slot positions, and determining a target angle range to which the dragging angle belongs; and determining the slot position corresponding to the target angle range as a first operation.

In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, assuming that 8 slots are provided in the virtual roulette wheel, each slot corresponds to an angular range of 45 °. A polar coordinate system is constructed by taking the circle center of the wheel disc as the pole, the horizontal direction represents 0 degree towards the right, the upper direction is the positive direction of the angle, the lower direction is the negative direction of the angle, on the basis, the preset angle range corresponding to the slot positions on the right side and the right side can be determined to be-22.5 degrees, and the preset angle range corresponding to each slot position can be determined by analogy in sequence. In the moving process of the target control, the dragging angle of the target control can be detected in real time, then the dragging angle is compared with the preset angle ranges corresponding to the plurality of slot positions, the target angle range to which the dragging angle belongs is determined, and then the first slot position is determined. For example, if the dragging angle is 20 °, it is determined that the first slot position is the right slot position.

The first area in the above step may be a selected area, and when the target control reaches the area, the first virtual article corresponding to the first slot position may be controlled to be in a selected state, where the selected state may be that the target virtual article is selected, but the article is not used; the to-be-used state may be that the target virtual item is selected and the player is waiting to use the item after releasing his finger.

Optionally, the operating parameters include: dragging distance, wherein the target area reached by the target control can be determined by the following steps: acquiring a preset distance range corresponding to each region, wherein the preset distance range is used for representing the distance range between each region and the center position of the virtual wheel disc; comparing the dragging distance with preset distance ranges corresponding to the multiple areas, and determining a target distance range to which the dragging distance belongs; and determining the area corresponding to the target distance range as a target area.

The preset distance range in the above step may be a range between the shortest distance and the longest distance between each region and the center position of the virtual wheel, and the target region reached by the target control may be determined by comparing the dragging distance of the target control with the preset distance range corresponding to each region.

In an alternative embodiment, after the first slot position is determined according to the angle of dragging of the target control, it may be determined whether the target control reaches the first area according to a dragging parameter of the target control, for example, it may be determined whether the target control reaches the first area according to a current position or a dragging distance of the target control, and after it is further determined that the first area is reached, it may be determined that the player has selected the target virtual article and does not want to use the target virtual article immediately.

As shown in fig. 4, taking one slot as an example, the areas denoted by reference numerals 1 and 2 in the drawing are a first area and a second area, respectively, a user's finger may drag a target control (as shown by a solid circle in fig. 4) to move from a center position (as shown by a dashed circle in fig. 4), when the target control reaches the first area of the first slot, the first slot may be selected, as shown in fig. 4, the slot may be framed by a thick-lined mark box, which indicates that the slot is selected.

Step S208, in response to the target control reaching the second area of the first slot, controlling the virtual character to use the first virtual article corresponding to the first slot.

The second area in the above step may be a to-be-used area, and when the target control reaches the area, the first virtual article corresponding to the first slot position may be controlled to be in a to-be-used state, where the to-be-used state may be that the target virtual article is selected, and the player uses the article after releasing the finger.

In an alternative embodiment, after the first slot position is determined according to the dragging angle of the target control, it may be determined whether the target control reaches the second area according to the dragging parameter of the target control, for example, it may be determined whether the target control reaches the second area according to the current position or the dragging distance of the target control, and after it is further determined that the target control reaches the second area, it may be determined that the player wishes to use the target virtual article, and therefore, the instruction to use the virtual article may be executed.

It should be noted that when the target control reaches different regions of the first slot, the first slot may be labeled with different colors, so that the user can distinguish different regions more intuitively, and the experience of the user is improved. For example, when the target control reaches the first region of the first slot, the first slot is selected, and the callout box shown in fig. 4 may be blue; when the target control reaches the second area of the first slot position, the virtual character is controlled to use the first virtual article corresponding to the first slot position, and the label box shown in fig. 4 may be green.

The blank area in the above step may be an area other than the display area of the virtual roulette wheel in the graphical user interface, or an area that does not include any icon in the graphical user interface, but is not limited thereto.

Alternatively, the virtual wheel disc may be controlled to rotate by: acquiring a sliding distance of a sliding operation; determining a rotation angle of the virtual wheel disc based on the sliding distance; and controlling the virtual wheel disc to rotate according to the rotation angle.

In an alternative example, as shown in FIG. 5, the virtual wheel may be displayed on the left side of the electronic device, the player may hold the virtual wheel on a target control in the virtual wheel with one hand to keep the virtual wheel continuously displayed, and the other hand may slide up or down on the right side of the electronic device to control the virtual wheel to rotate, thereby more quickly selecting different items that need to be used. Alternatively, the rotation direction of the virtual wheel may be determined based on the sliding direction of the sliding operation, and the rotation angle of the virtual wheel may be determined based on the sliding distance of the sliding operation. Further, the sliding direction is upward, and the corresponding rotating direction is counterclockwise rotation; the sliding direction is downward and the corresponding rotating direction is clockwise. Moreover, a mapping relationship between the sliding distance and the rotation angle may be preset, so that after the sliding distance is obtained, the rotation angle of the response may be determined based on the mapping relationship, optionally, the virtual wheel disc rotates clockwise, the corresponding rotation angle is a positive number, the virtual wheel disc rotates counterclockwise, and the corresponding rotation angle is a negative number. On the basis, the virtual wheel disc can be controlled to rotate according to the determined rotation angle and rotation direction.

The detailed information in the above steps may be a name, a detailed description, and the like of the virtual article, for example, for the equipment, the detailed information may be a name, description information, and equipment effect information of the equipment, but is not limited thereto, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

In an optional embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to confirm the selected first virtual article, when the user selects the first virtual article, that is, the target control reaches the first area of the first slot, detailed information of the first virtual article may be displayed.

In the process of controlling the virtual roulette to rotate, the display positions of the plurality of slots change along with the rotation of the virtual roulette, and the display position of the target control remains unchanged, so that the target control may overlap with other slots, and the slot overlapping with the target control can be determined to be the target slot. Optionally, the slot overlapping with the target control may be highlighted, so that the user can know the current target slot more clearly and intuitively. When the target control originally selects the slot position (i.e., the first slot position), as shown in fig. 5, the selection frame rotates along with the roulette wheel, and when the target control reaches another slot position (i.e., the second slot position), as shown in fig. 6, another slot position is automatically selected.

In an optional embodiment, the left hand and the right hand can be operated simultaneously, the left hand drags the target control, the right hand slides the blank area, at this time, the rotating angle of the roulette wheel can be subtracted from the dragging angle of the target control, and the slot position at which the target control and the virtual roulette wheel are overlapped is calculated to determine the target slot position.

In another optional embodiment, the current angle range of each slot position can be determined through the rotation angle of the virtual roulette, and the slot position which the target control is overlapped with can be determined according to the dragging angle of the target control.

In an alternative embodiment, the determination of which slot the target control falls into may be made directly based on which slot the current position of the target control center point is located in. In another alternative embodiment, when the target control overlaps two slots, the area of the overlapping portion in each slot may be determined, and the slot corresponding to the largest area is determined to be the slot in which the target control falls, that is, when the area of the portion of the target control located in the second slot is greater than the area of the portion of the target control located in the first slot, the target control is determined to fall into the second slot, otherwise, the target control is determined to still fall into the first slot.

In an optional embodiment, in the process of moving when the player presses the target control, the target control may be controlled to move along with the movement of the finger, but the movement range of the target control may only be within the display area of the virtual wheel, that is, in the case that the target control overlaps with the edge of the virtual wheel, that is, when the target control is dragged beyond the display area of the virtual wheel, the target control may be controlled to stop moving, that is, to continue dragging the target control, and the target control does not move any more.

In an optional embodiment, assuming that the preset distance range of the selected area is 5-10 and the preset distance range of the area to be used is 10-20, if the initial dragging distance of the target control is 15, the target control is initially the area to be used, at this time, the target control is dragged back, the distance from the center of the circle is 4, and the selected state of the first slot is maintained.

Optionally, the method further comprises: and moving the touch point corresponding to the dragging operation from the second area to an area outside the virtual wheel disc, and keeping the selected state of the first slot position.

In an optional embodiment, assuming that the preset distance range of the selected area is 5-10 and the preset distance range of the area to be used is 10-20, if the dragging distance of the target control is 22, it is determined that the corresponding target sub-area is the area to be used at this time.
