Selective game logic processing by a game server

A data processing method executed by a terminal device provided with a target client, the target client being one of N clients having a network connection relationship with a server, N being a positive integer greater than 1, the method comprising:

• acquiring a first data packet transmitted by the server and associated with a to-be-synchronized client and parsing the first data packet to obtain first parsed game data, the to-be-synchronized client being identified by the server based on a view list of the target client, the to-be-synchronized client belonging to the N clients, the view list identifying a client associated with a view area of the target client in a game scene, the to-be-synchronized client having a relative view type that indicates whether the to-be-synchronized client is visible to the target client in the game scene;
• when the first parsed game data comprises first game result data, performing game rendering on the view area of the target client based on the first game result data that is obtained after the server performs game logic processing on first initial game data associated with a first to-be-synchronized client having a relative view type indicating that the to-be-synchronized client is not visible to the target client;
• and
• when the first parsed game data comprises second initial game data, performing game logic processing on the second initial game data to obtain second game result data, and performing game rendering on the view area of the target client based on the second game result data, the second initial game data being associated with a second to-be-synchronized client having a relative view type indicating that the to-be-synchronized client is visible to the target client.

A data processing apparatus, comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to
• acquire a view list of a target client from N clients having a network connection relationship with the apparatus, N being a positive integer greater than 1, and the view list identifying at least one client associated with a view area of the target client in a game scene;
• determine a to-be-synchronized client of the target client based on the view list, the to-be-synchronized client being one of the N clients, and the to-be-synchronized client having a relative view type, the relative view type identifying whether the to-be-synchronized client is visible to the target client in the game scene;
• in response to a first to-be-synchronized client having a relative view type indicating that the first to-be-synchronized client is not visible to the target client, perform game logic processing on first initial game data associated with the first to-be-synchronized client to obtain first game result data for transmitting to the target client, the first game result data being used by the target client to perform game rendering on the view area;
• and
• in response to a second to-be-synchronized client with a relative view type indicating that the second to-be-synchronized client is visible to the target client, transmit second initial game data associated with the second to-be-synchronized client to the target client to enable the target client to perform game logic processing on the second initial game data to obtain second game result data, the second game result data being used by the target client to perform game rendering on the view area.
