Abstract

Embodiments of this application disclose a virtual item adjustment method performed at a computing device having a touchscreen. The method including: displaying a virtual object presenting interface on the touchscreen, the virtual object presenting interface comprising a first virtual object and a second virtual object, the first virtual object and the second virtual object being two virtual objects respectively controlled by two different user accounts; receiving a slide operation signal on the touchscreen, the slide operation signal having a start position on the second virtual object and an end position on the first virtual object; and adjusting a virtual item of the first virtual object according to a virtual item of the second virtual object. The embodiments of this application implement the function of adjusting a virtual item of a virtual object only through a slide operation. Therefore, the operation simpler and more efficient.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

after receiving the slide operation signal on the touchscreen,

displaying an item demanding interface on the touchscreen when a first user account corresponding to the first virtual object does not possess the virtual item of the second virtual object;

acquiring a demanding instruction inputted in the item demanding interface;

transmitting a demanding request to a second user account corresponding to the second virtual object according to the demanding instruction, the demanding request being used for requesting the second user account to donate the virtual item of the second virtual object to the first user account; and

performing, after the demand succeeds, the operation of adjusting the virtual item of the first virtual object to render an adjusted virtual item of the first virtual object the same as the virtual item of the second virtual object.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting a virtual item of the first virtual object according to a virtual item of the second virtual object comprises:

exchanging the virtual item of the first virtual object and the virtual item of the second virtual object.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the method further comprises:

after receiving the slide operation signal on the touchscreen,

transmitting an item exchange request to a second user account corresponding to the second virtual object, the item exchange request being used for requesting an exchange between the virtual item of the first virtual object and the virtual item of the second virtual object; and

performing the operation of exchanging the virtual item of the first virtual object and the virtual item of the second virtual object in a case that an exchange-agreed response fed back by the second user account is received.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the virtual item comprises at least one of the following: virtual clothing, virtual equipment, a character skin, and a virtual pet.

7. A computing device comprising one or more processors, a touchscreen, memory and a plurality of computer programs stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform a plurality of operations including:

displaying a virtual object presenting interface within a game interface on the touchscreen, the virtual object presenting interface comprising a first virtual object and a second virtual object, the first virtual object and the second virtual object being two virtual objects respectively controlled a first user account and a second user account, different from the first user account;

receiving a slide operation signal on the touchscreen from the first user account, the slide operation signal having a start position on the second virtual object controlled by the second user account, and an end position on the first virtual object controlled by the first user account; and

adjusting a virtual item of the first virtual object according to a virtual item of the second virtual object without adjusting the virtual item of the second virtual object, including adjusting the virtual item of the first virtual object to render an adjusted virtual item of the first virtual object the same as the virtual item of the second virtual object.

8. The computing device according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of operations further comprise:

after receiving the slide operation signal on the touchscreen,

displaying an item purchase interface on the touchscreen when a first user account corresponding to the first virtual object does not possess the virtual item of the second virtual object;

acquiring a purchase instruction inputted in the item purchase interface;

purchasing the virtual item of the second virtual object according to the purchase instruction; and

performing, after the purchase succeeds, the operation of adjusting the virtual item of the first virtual object to render an adjusted virtual item of the first virtual object the same as the virtual item of the second virtual object.

9. The computing device according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of operations further comprise:
