Resource preloading method and apparatus, storage medium, and computer device

A resource preloading apparatus, comprising:

• at least one memory configured to store program code;
• and
• at least one processor configured to read the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code including:
• first loading code configured to cause the at least one processor to load a static resource set of a round during a character selection stage of the round, the character selection stage selecting a virtual character participating in the round, and the static resource set comprising resources that are to be used in the round and are not related to character configuration information determined during the character selection stage;
• second loading code configured to cause the at least one processor to, based on the loading of the static resource set being completed during the character selection stage, load a dynamic resource set of the round during a resource loading stage of the round, the dynamic resource set comprising resources that are to be used in the round and that are related to the character configuration information, and
• display, on a display of the resource preloading apparatus, prompt information indicating that at least one of the static resource set and the dynamic resource set has been loaded
• wherein the first loading code comprises:
• instantiating code configured to cause the at least one processor to perform in-round object instantiating on at least one static resource included in the static resource set to obtain an instantiated object;
• and
• storing code configured to cause the at least one processor to store the instantiated object in an object buffer pool.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of a resource preloading device, cause the at least one processor to:
• load a static resource set of a round of a game during a character selection stage of the round, the character selection stage selecting a virtual character participating in the round, and the static resource set comprising resources that are to be used in the round and that are not related to character configuration information determined during the character selection stage;
• based on the loading of the static resource set being completed during the character selection stage, load a dynamic resource set of the round during a resource loading stage of the round, the dynamic resource set comprising resources that are to be used in the round and that are related to the character configuration information;
• and
• display, on a display of the resource preloading device, prompt information indicating that at least one of the static resource set and the dynamic resource set has been loaded,
• wherein the to load the static resource set, the one or more instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the at least one processor to:
• perform in-round object instantiating on at least one static resource included in the static resource set to obtain an instantiated object;
• and
• store the instantiated object in an object buffer pool.
