Drawing method

摘要

A drawing system and method is provided for drawing objects and maps in a virtual world editor. The drawing method performs object checking to determine if a particular object can be drawn in the virtual world editor. When drawing the object, if the drawing method for the object does not satisfy a specific condition, the method will not allow the object to “set.” If the object satisfies the specific condition, the method will allow the object to set and be drawn onto the terrain. If the object is obstructed as it is being drawn, the drawing system will adjust the object so it is appropriately drawn in the software environment.

主权项

1. A drawing method implemented using a user interface device having at least one processor and for interacting with a virtual world, the method comprising:
defining a drawing start point, based on a first input on a display of the user interface device, for drawing a drawing object; defining a drawing end point, based on a second input on the display of the user interface device, for drawing the drawing object; determining, via the at least one processor, if a path from the drawing start point to the drawing end point for drawing the drawing object is obstructed at a point of obstruction; drawing the drawing object from the drawing start point to the drawing end point, the drawing object prevented from being drawn past the point of obstruction when the path from the drawing start point to the drawing end point is obstructed; generating the virtual world for display on the user interface; and animating one or more objects in the virtual world including the drawing object and displaying the virtual world, including the animated one or more objects, on the display of the user interface device.
