Abstract

Programming is a difficult meat for novices. Educatees nowadays start to play games before they first attend formal education. Serious games offer tools that may have potential to support programming trainers to become more engaged on their learning through a learn while having fun approach. This paper aims to design and implement serious game for programming education. Our serious game substitutes game rules and objects for elements of programming language. We will begin by describing the game mechanics, followed by the general system architecture, finalizing with a small conclusion. We also discuss the implications of our work for the development of the serious game that support the identified features and teach programming concepts.

프로그래밍 학습은 비숙련자에게 쉽지 않은 과정이다. 최근의 피교육자는 학습 전에 게임을 경험하는 경우가 빈번하므로 재미와 함께 자연스럽게 교육 내용에 몰입할 수 있는 기능성게임이 유용한 도구로 활용될 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 프로그래밍 교육을 지원하기 위하여 설계하고 구현한 기능성 게임을 제안한다. 제안된 기능성게임은 프로그래밍 언어를 구성하는 요소들을 게임 규칙과 객체들로 치환하는 방법으로 구성한다. 게임의 구조와 함께 차별화된 설계 요소들에 대하여 논하고자 한다.
