The game of this embodiment may be an MMO game, an RPG game, etc., and in this embodiment, the player may perform game preparation work through a game graphical user interface, for example: the players form a team. After the preparation work is finished, the virtual characters contained in the graphical user interface can be matched in a battle mode, and the virtual characters enter a virtual scene to fight after the battle matching is successful.

Referring to a schematic diagram of a graphical user interface shown in fig. 2, the graphical user interface in fig. 2 includes 4 virtual characters ABCD, wherein the virtual character a can be controlled by a player through a terminal device, and the virtual character BCD can be controlled by other players through other terminal devices. It should be noted that, the graphical user interface at least includes the virtual character controlled by the terminal device, and may include other virtual characters controlled by other terminal devices, and the number of the other virtual characters is not limited.

If the graphical user interface of the player only contains the virtual character controlled by the terminal equipment of the player, the graphical user interface can be an interface matched with a single game; the graphical user interface of a player may be a multiplayer game matching interface if the graphical user interface contains a virtual character controlled by the player's terminal device and other virtual characters controlled by other player's other terminal devices.

Based on the above description, referring to the flowchart of a control method of a game shown in fig. 3, the control method of the game provides a graphical user interface of the game through a terminal device, the graphical user interface includes a game screen, the method includes the following steps:

step S302, when detecting that the virtual character in the game is in a preparation state of a virtual scene to be entered into the game, responding to a trigger instruction of the virtual scene to be entered into the game, and controlling the virtual character to enter the virtual scene.

When a player-controlled virtual character is in a virtual scene ready state to enter a game, the virtual character may enter a virtual scene or exit the ready state. If the virtual character is in the ready state, the virtual character is ready to enter combat, the triggering instruction of the virtual scene entering the game can be responded at the moment, the virtual character is controlled to carry out game fight matching, and the virtual scene entering the game is combated after the match is successful.

In addition to the virtual character controlled by the game player, the virtual scene of the game may include other virtual characters controlled by other game players, where the other virtual characters may be teammates or opponents of the virtual character controlled by the player.

Specifically, the player can click a designated control of the terminal device to enable the virtual character to enter a preparation state; the player can also put the virtual character into a ready state by turning over the terminal device.

The virtual character can be matched with the game battle after entering the preparation state, and the triggering instruction of the virtual scene of the game can be an instruction triggered when the game battle is successfully matched or an instruction triggered when the virtual scene of the game is generated. The terminal equipment responds to the trigger instruction, the virtual character can be controlled to enter a virtual scene, and the player can control the virtual character to fight in the virtual scene.

And step S304, in response to the fact that the terminal equipment is detected to turn over and the screen of the terminal equipment is determined to be shielded, controlling the virtual role to exit from the preparation state.

In this embodiment, both the step of "responding to the detection of the terminal device turning" and the step of "responding to the trigger instruction of the virtual scene entering the game" are under the condition that the virtual character processes the preparation state of the virtual scene to be entered, that is, when the virtual character in the game is detected to be in the preparation state of the virtual scene to be entered into the game, the virtual character is controlled to enter the virtual scene in response to the trigger instruction of the virtual scene entering the game; and when detecting that the virtual character in the game is in a ready state of a virtual scene to enter the game, controlling the virtual character to exit the ready state in response to detecting that the terminal equipment is turned over and determining that the screen of the terminal equipment is blocked.

That is, when the virtual character is in a ready state to enter the virtual scene, that is, the virtual character is ready, but the matching is not successful, whether the terminal device is turned over or not and whether the screen is blocked or not can be monitored.

The player can rotate the terminal device through the rotating operation, the terminal device can determine the rotating angle through the gyroscope, and if the rotating angle of the terminal device conforms to a certain range, the terminal device can be considered to be turned over, for example: the terminal equipment rotates 160-200 degrees along the Z axis, and the terminal equipment can be considered to be overturned.

The terminal equipment can also determine whether the screen of the terminal equipment is shielded or not through a light sensor, wherein the light sensor is generally in the same plane with the mobile phone screen, and the orientation of the light sensor is consistent. If the screen is shielded, the light sensor is also shielded, the light quantity collected by the light sensor is also lower, and whether the screen is shielded can be determined according to the light quantity collected by the light sensor.

When the terminal equipment is determined to turn over and the screen of the terminal equipment is shielded, the terminal equipment can control the virtual character to exit from the preparation state, and after the virtual character exits from the preparation state, the terminal equipment does not respond to the trigger instruction of the virtual scene of the game and does not control the virtual character to enter the virtual scene.

According to the game control method provided by the embodiment of the invention, when the terminal equipment detects that the terminal equipment is turned over and determines that the screen of the terminal equipment is shielded, the virtual character can be controlled to exit from the preparation state. In the mode, the player can control the virtual character to exit from the preparation state by the terminal equipment in a mode of turning over the terminal equipment and shielding the screen of the terminal equipment, the state of the virtual character can be changed without clicking the screen of the terminal equipment by fingers of the player, the interaction mode is simple, and the experience of the player can be improved.

As shown in fig. 4, a flow chart of another game control method in an alternative embodiment, the game control method in the alternative embodiment includes the steps of:

step S402, when detecting that the virtual character in the game is in the preparation state of the virtual scene to be entered into the game, responding to the trigger instruction of the virtual scene to be entered into the game, and controlling the virtual character to enter the virtual scene.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the player may make the virtual character enter the preparation state by clicking the control, for example: providing a first control through a graphical user interface; and responding to the touch operation aiming at the first control, and setting the virtual character to be in a preparation state of a virtual scene of the game.

The first control may be a virtual key and the graphical user interface may display the first control. The player can set the virtual character to be in a ready state of a virtual scene of the game through touch operation on the first control. The touch operation for the first control may be: single click, double click, long press.

In addition, after the virtual character enters the ready state, the terminal device may display a control for "canceling ready", which may be referred to as a "canceling ready" control, for the virtual character.

If the virtual character clicks the cancel preparation control after that, the preparation state is cancelled, and the terminal device can change the cancel preparation control into the prepare control in the game graphic user interface. The "cancel prepare" control and the "prepare" control may contain patterns, text, and the like.

Further, when the virtual character is set to be in a preparation state of a virtual scene of the game, the method further includes: and performing game match matching aiming at the virtual character. If the virtual character enters the ready state, the virtual character can be considered to be ready for fighting, and the terminal device can control the virtual character to match fighting, for example: and performing game match matching aiming at the virtual character.

It should be noted here that the virtual characters may perform battle matching alone or may perform battle matching in a team. For example: when the virtual characters are in a team game, when all the virtual characters in a game room are in a ready state and a team leader sends a game starting message, the battle matching is carried out on the game room.

When the virtual characters are in a team game, all the virtual characters in the game room are in a ready state, and the terminal device receives a game start confirmation message sent by a homeowner of the game room, the terminal device can consider that all the virtual characters in the game room are ready for fighting, at this time, team matching can be performed on all the virtual characters in the game room, and after the match is successful, all the virtual characters in the game room enter a virtual scene to perform the game.

For example: assuming that the number of teams in the game can be 5, the game room can contain up to 5 virtual characters. If 5 virtual characters are included in the game room and all of the 5 virtual characters are in a ready state, and the homeowner of the game room also sends a game start confirmation message, the 5 virtual characters may be set as teammates for which 5 opponents of the game are matched. If 3 virtual characters are included in the game room and all the 3 virtual characters are in a ready state, and the homeowner also sends a game start confirmation message, the 3 virtual characters may be set as teammates for which 2 teammates and 5 opponents of the game are matched.

The triggering instruction entering the virtual scene of the game may be an instruction triggered when the game battle matching is successful, and therefore, the method further includes: and when the message that the match of the game match is successful is detected, generating a trigger instruction for entering a virtual scene of the game. If a message that the match of the game match is successful is detected, the trigger instruction can be generated.

And S404, detecting whether the terminal equipment is overturned through the gyroscope, and detecting whether a screen of the terminal equipment is shielded through the light sensor.

In this embodiment, the direction and the angle of the terminal device rotation may be detected through the gyroscope, and generally, if the direction of the terminal device rotation is along the Z axis, and the rotation angle is close to 180 degrees, the terminal device may be considered to be turned over. Therefore, whether the terminal device is turned over can be detected by the following method: detecting the turning angle of the terminal equipment through a gyroscope; if the overturning angle accords with the preset angle range, the terminal equipment is overturned; if the turning angle does not accord with the angle range, the terminal equipment is not turned.

In this embodiment, the terminal device may determine a turning angle of the terminal device, where the turning angle may include a yaw angle, a pitch angle, and a roll angle. In this embodiment, a preset angle range may be set for the turning angle, and only when the specified turning angle meets the angle range, it may be considered that the terminal device is turned. For example: and setting the turning angle of the pitch angle as the angle range between 100 and 200 degrees, and if the turning angle of the pitch angle is 160 degrees in the turning angle of the gyroscope detection terminal equipment, determining that the terminal equipment is turned.

The light sensor may be oriented in the same direction as the screen of the terminal device, for example, the light sensor may be disposed above, below or behind the screen in the terminal device. Therefore, as long as the screen of the terminal device is shielded, the light sensor is also shielded. Whether the screen of the terminal device is blocked can be determined by the light entering amount collected by the light sensor, for example: determining the light inlet quantity of the terminal equipment through a light sensor; if the light incoming amount is larger than a preset intensity threshold value, the screen of the terminal equipment is not shielded; if the light entering amount is less than or equal to the intensity threshold value, the screen of the terminal equipment is blocked.

Step S406, in response to detecting that the terminal device is turned over and determining that the screen of the terminal device is shielded, controlling the virtual character to exit the preparation state.

If the terminal device detects that the terminal device is turned over and the screen of the terminal device is shielded, the virtual character can be controlled to exit the preparation state, and the terminal device cannot respond to a trigger instruction of entering a virtual scene of a game and cannot control the virtual character to enter the virtual scene.

When the virtual character is set to be in the ready state of the virtual scene of the game, the player can also control the virtual character to exit the ready state by clicking the control, for example: switching the first control to a second control; and responding to the touch operation aiming at the second control, and controlling the virtual character to exit the preparation state.

The player can cause the virtual character to set the exit preparation state through touch operation of the second control. The touch operation for the second control may be: single click, double click, long press.

After the terminal device exits the virtual character from the ready state, the player can make the virtual character enter the ready state again by clicking the control or turning over the terminal device. For example: switching the second control to the first control; and responding to the touch operation aiming at the first control, and controlling the virtual character to enter a preparation state. Another example is: and controlling the virtual character to enter a preparation state in response to detecting that the terminal equipment is turned over and determining that the screen of the terminal equipment is not shielded.

The manner of clicking the control, and the manner of detecting that the terminal device is turned over and the screen of the terminal device is not shielded have been described above, and are not described herein again.

To sum up, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention adds a new interaction method to the player, in addition to the method in which the player clicks the control of the terminal device to control the virtual character, so that the player can be given more choices: through terminal equipment's gyroscope and optical line sensors, transfer the rotation operation that the gyroscope discerned the user, utilize optical line sensors to discern whether the cell-phone screen is sheltered from, the player only need overturn terminal equipment, need not use the finger to click terminal equipment's screen and just can change virtual character's state, make virtual character get into or withdraw from the ready state, consequently, do not need the player to use the finger to click the screen of end equipment, the interactive mode is comparatively simple, can improve player's experience and feel. In addition, the terminal equipment generally comprises a gyroscope and a light sensor, so that the terminal equipment is convenient to popularize and high in practicability.
