A picture display method includes receiving a game picture of a target game from a target container in a process of running the target game, the target game being a cloud game running on the target container; obtaining a control operation on the target game performed on the terminal device, and locally drawing an operation animation according to the control operation; and superposing the operation animation on the received game picture, and displaying, on a user interface, the game picture on which the operation animation is superposed.

A game perspective control method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: in response to an character selection operation acting on a second display area of a graphical user interface, a target game character is selected in a game scene; a perspective switching control is provided on the second display area, the perspective switching control being configured to switch between a game scene area where a current position of the target game character is located and a game scene area where a target position of the target game character is located; and, in response to a perspective switching operation acting on the perspective switching control, a first display area is controlled to display a game scene corresponding to the perspective switching operation.

A direction of a first control is determined based on a component in the first axial direction of a difference between a first region reference coordinate point and a coordinate point of a coordinate input performed in the first region. A direction of a second control is determined based on a component in a second axial direction of a difference between a second region reference coordinate point and a coordinate point of the coordinate input performed in the second region. When the coordinate input is started in the second region, and thereafter the coordinate input indicates a coordinate point in the first region, the reference coordinate point is set in the first or the second region, and the direction of the first control is determined based on a component in the first axial direction of a difference between the reference coordinate point and the coordinate point in the first region.

This application provides a method and apparatus for using a virtual item, a device, and a storage medium, and belongs to the field of application programs that support a virtual chessboard. The method includes displaying a virtual chessboard and a virtual item bar in a user interface, a virtual chess piece located on the virtual chessboard and being a virtual character having permission to use a first virtual item, and the first virtual item being displayed in the virtual item bar; moving the first virtual item on the user interface following a drag operation, the drag operation being on the first virtual item; and assembling the first virtual item to the virtual chess piece and performing a first vibration reminder in response to the drag operation being stopped in a display range corresponding to the virtual chess piece.

A system and method for precise positioning of items such as communication pings in a map of a multiplayer game with touchscreen gestures. Specifically, the method can include displaying a dynamic image or map on a touchscreen and receiving a touch gesture thereon. The touch gesture can begin at a tool selection icon and end at a release location within the map. Then the method can include, in response to the touch gesture, displaying a precision placement tool that depicts a portion of the map obscured by the received touch gesture. The depiction can be an enlarged depiction of the obscured portion and is displayed outside of the obscured portion. Finally, the method can include displaying a change to the map at the release location when the touch gesture ends. Specifically, at the release location, items such as communication pings can be placed onto the map.
