Virtual game worlds for computer games can be provided using machine learning. The use of machine learning enables the virtual game worlds to be generated at run time by standard consumer hardware devices. Machine learning agents are trained in advance to the characteristics of the particular game world. Then, these suitably trained machine learning agents can be used to generate a relevant portion of a virtual game world, such as a portion of the virtual game world that is proximate to a play's position. Advantageously, the virtual game world can be provided in high resolution and is able to cover a substantially larger region than conventional practical.

This application is directed to a method of managing processing capability of a server system having one or more processing cores that further include multiple processing slices. Upon receiving requests to initiate online gaming sessions, the server system allocates each processing slice of the processing cores to a subset of the online gaming sessions to be executed thereon. A first processing slice is allocated to a first subset of the online gaming sessions including a first gaming session and a second gaming session. At the first processing slice, a time-sharing processing schedule is determined for the first subset of the online gaming sessions. In accordance with the time-sharing processing schedule, the first and second gaming sessions share a duty cycle of the first processing slice, and are executed dynamically and in parallel according to real-time data processing need of the first and second gaming sessions.

A method by a network device for outputting a virtual application object includes acquiring current status information of a plurality of virtual application objects in a virtual application, the current status information indicating that a virtual application object is in a known state or in an unknown state, constructing a virtual application object status plane based on the current status information of the plurality of virtual application objects, where the virtual application object status plane includes a region corresponding to each virtual application object, the region includes the current status information of the corresponding virtual application object, determining, based on the virtual application object status plane, output probabilities corresponding to a plurality of to-be-outputted virtual application objects, and determining, based the output probabilities corresponding to the plurality of to-be-outputted virtual application objects, a target virtual application object from the plurality of to-be-outputted virtual application objects.

A method for dramatizing video gaming is disclosed. The method includes receiving over a network from a client device contextual data corresponding to game play of a player playing a gaming application. The method includes identifying an event of dramatic significance is occurring or likely will occur in the game play based on the contextual data and historical data of a plurality of game plays relating to the gaming application. The method includes generating information dramatizing the event of dramatic significance. The method includes surfacing the information in connection with the game play.

This application discloses a virtual role control method performed by a computer device. The method includes: displaying, on a display interface, a virtual scene corresponding to a virtual task, the virtual scene comprising at least one virtual role belonging to a first camp and at least one virtual role belonging to a second camp; when a first target virtual role in the first camp is killed by a virtual role of the second camp, switching the first target virtual role from the first camp to the second camp; when all the virtual roles of the first camp are killed in the virtual scene, displaying that the second camp wins on the display interface; and when a duration for executing the virtual task reaches a predetermined duration and at least one virtual role of the first camp still exists in the virtual scene, displaying that the first camp wins on the display interface.

A method and an apparatus for controlling a virtual object, a storage medium, and an electronic device. The method includes: obtaining an interactive operation in a virtual scene, the interactive operation being used for controlling a first virtual object to release a virtual prop at a target position; releasing the virtual prop at the target position, and displaying a target region triggered by the virtual prop in the virtual scene, the target region including the target position; and enhancing a target attribute of a virtual object in a first object group in the virtual scene in a case that the first virtual object is located in the target region, the first object group being an object group to which the first virtual object belongs.
