Method and apparatus for controlling virtual object, and storage medium

An apparatus for controlling a virtual object, comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing a computer-readable instruction that is capable of causing the processor to:

• identify screen areas respectively corresponding to a left virtual sub-interface and a right virtual sub-interface in a virtual interface on a screen of the terminal device;
• detect a gesture operation performed in the screen area corresponding to the left virtual sub-interface and detect a gesture operation performed in the screen area corresponding to the right virtual sub-interface, wherein the detecting comprises:
• confirming a first finger landing point corresponding to a start point of a first slide gesture on the screen and a second finger landing point corresponding to a start point of a second slide gesture on the screen, in response to detecting the first slide gesture in the screen area corresponding to the left virtual sub-interface and the second slide gesture in the screen area corresponding to the right virtual sub-interface, wherein the first slide gesture and the second slide gesture are each indicative of an upward sliding or a downward sliding;
• and
• controlling the virtual object to drift in the virtual interface, according to a height difference between respective projections of the first finger landing point and the second finger landing point on a central axis of the screen;
• and
• control the virtual object in the virtual interface to perform an action in response to detecting the gesture operation in the screen area corresponding to the left virtual sub-interface and the gesture operation in the screen area corresponding to the right virtual sub-interface.

A display device including a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer-readable instruction, when executed by a processor, the computer readable instruction causing the processor to perform a method for controlling a virtual object comprising:

• identifying screen areas corresponding to a left virtual sub-interface and a right virtual sub-interface in a virtual interface on a screen of the terminal device;
• detecting a gesture operation performed in the screen area corresponding to the left virtual sub-interface and detecting a gesture operation performed in the screen area corresponding to the right virtual sub-interface, wherein the detecting comprises:
• confirming a first finger landing point corresponding to a start point of a first slide gesture on the screen and a second finger landing point corresponding to a start point of a second slide gesture on the screen, in response to detecting the first slide gesture in the screen area corresponding to the left virtual sub-interface and the second slide gesture in the screen area corresponding to the right virtual sub-interface, wherein the first slide gesture and the second slide gesture are each indicative of an upward sliding or a downward sliding;
• and
• controlling the virtual object to drift in the virtual interface, according to a height difference between respective projections of the first finger landing point and the second finger landing point on a central axis of the screen;
• and
• controlling the virtual object in the virtual interface to perform an action in response to detecting the gesture operation in the screen area corresponding to the left virtual sub-interface and the gesture operation in the screen area corresponding to the right virtual sub-interface.
