This application provides a method for recording interactions of a virtual role of a target virtual object with other virtual objects in a virtual reality application from a third person perspective view. The method includes: configuring a third person perspective view, the third person perspective view being a video shooting perspective view of a virtual controller; obtaining location information of the virtual role in the virtual reality application; obtaining current orientation information of the third person perspective view, which is orientation information of the third person perspective view virtual camera in the virtual reality application; obtaining, according to the location information of the virtual role and the current orientation information of the third person perspective view, scene data corresponding to the virtual reality application in which the virtual role is currently located; and capturing and displaying actions of the target virtual object according to the scene data.

A method of mapping a virtual environment includes: obtaining a first sequence of video images output by a videogame title; obtaining a corresponding sequence of in-game virtual camera positions at which the video images were created; obtaining a corresponding sequence of depth buffer values for a depth buffer used by the videogame whilst creating the video images; and, for each of a plurality of video images and corresponding depth buffer values of the obtained sequences, obtain mapping points corresponding to a selected predetermined set of depth values corresponding to a predetermined set of positions within a respective video image; where for each pair of depth values and video image positions, a mapping point has a distance from the virtual camera position based upon the depth value, and a position based upon the relative positions of the virtual camera and the respective video image position, thereby obtaining a map dataset of mapping points corresponding to the first sequence of video images.

Provided is a game client control method and apparatus, a storage medium, and an electronic apparatus. The method including obtaining first orientation data detected by a target detection apparatus, a game client being installed on a mobile terminal, the target detection apparatus being disposed in the mobile terminal, a game screen of the game client being at a first angle of view according to the first orientation data, and the first orientation data comprising a first orientation of the mobile terminal, obtaining second orientation data detected by the target detection apparatus, the second orientation data including a second orientation of the mobile terminal, and switching the game screen from the game screen at the first angle of view to a game screen at a second angle of view based on relative orientation data between the second orientation data and the first orientation data satisfying a target condition.

A forward direction line is set on a course, in a virtual game world, on which a player object is allowed to move. An advancing direction at a current position of the player object is determined based on the forward direction line. The advancing direction is determined as a direction in which the player object advances so as to control a movement of a player character in accordance with an acceleration instruction, and a leftward-rightward movement instruction from a player. Consequently, it is possible to assist the player in controlling a direction in which an object operated by the player moves.

A non-limiting example game apparatus includes a display device, and a game screen is displayed on the display device. For example, a player character, an enemy character, a background object, etc. are displayed in the game screen. If a throw mode is set, a target cursor is moved on a predetermined plane in a virtual space based on an operation of a player, thereby to designate a target object with which a throwing object is made to be collided. When the target object is designated, a route object is displayed on a line segment that connects a throw starting point and a target point that is the designated position on the target object, and a shadow of the route object is displayed.
