Abstract
A server may divide a map into a grid comprising a plurality of cells, each of the cells corresponding to different geographic areas represented on the map. The server may determine geographic locations for a plurality of virtual props, respectively. The server may determine cells for the virtual props based on the geographic locations for placement of the virtual props. The server may obtain a current geographic location of a client. The server may identify a cell of the grid corresponding to the current geographic location of the client. The server may determine the identified cell is associated a virtual prop included in the virtual props. The server may allocate in response to the identified cell being associated with the virtual prop, the virtual prop to the client. The client receive prompt information indicative of the virtual prop being allocated to the client.
