Recently, public interest in Healing Games is increasing. But, due to the absence in an agreed concept, an academic discussion on the healing games has not commenced. Thus, this study proposed a concept for the 'Healing Games' and sought to draw key features. First, a comparison between healing games and medical serious games were compared to confirm that key concept of healing games. Afterwards, healing games were selected and reviewed to identify the narrative, structural and sensory features.

In this paper, we propose an analysis method that categorizes the Core that essential behaviors in game, the Primary that solves the game problem, and the Secondary that helps the Core and the Primary. The proposed method can analyze the genre similarity and characteristics of the game, the richness of the content, and the proficiency level of the game. case study were conducted to confirm whether the analysis items were consistent with the objective game experience. The results of this study are expected to be helpful in improving game design ability.

Recently, students have raised negative awareness of the test because of school records and irrational difficulty level of the College Scholastic Ability Test. They go so far as to commit suicide because of failure in entering school. It becomes a social problem and it is rising more and more interested in entering school. The educational game was created based on considering this social environment. Namely, students can enter university as playing online or mobile game through Enter Literacy Assessment game service. The Enter Literacy Assessment game service provides various tests which are math, english, science or essay that real university wants through online or mobile game. For this, general concept about Enter Literacy Assessment game service and characteristic establishment and limitation of existing research should be understood. The research refers to relationship between Self-Determination Theory which is the representative theory related with psychological desire of human intrinsic and Enter Literacy Assessment game service. Therefore, development of Enter Literacy assessment Serious Game is a new opportunity factor to take two dominants which are secure of university competitive power and excellent personnel and challenge for development of serious game.

본 논문에서는 XNA Framework 기반의 모바일 게임 Tangerine Fairy를 설계하고 구현한다. 이 모바일 게임은 5 단계로 구성되어 있으며 각 단계별로 귤 요정(Tangerine fairy)이 떨어지는 장애물을 피하며 전진한다. 이때 귤 요정이 장애물을 피하지 못하면 캐릭터의 HP(Hit Point)는 감소한다. 그리고 일정시간 지나면 해당 스테이지에서 보스가 등장하고, 게임의 난이도가 증가한다. 스테이지에서 게임 중 클리어 보상을 얻는 경우, 클리어 보상은 보물을 가지고 있기 때문에 다음 스테이지로 이동할 수 있다.

Recently, e-learning platforms are rapidly growing by innovating the education industry by applying various IT technologies. Because student participation in the online environment is considered a prerequisite for learning, low participation rates are considered one of the most important issues determining the performance of e-learning platforms. Gamification has grown rapidly over the past decades and is highly valued for its applicability in education because it is expected to enhance learning motivation. However, despite the interest of researchers, previous studies have reported conflicting results on the effect of gamification on participation rates in the context of e-learning platforms, and have mainly studied structural gamification, but have not sufficiently addressed the effects of content gamification. In this context, this study aims to analyze the effect of content gamification on e-learning platform engagement and to explore the boundary conditions moderating this effect. For empirical analysis, 5,017 data registered from February 11, 2022 to May 31, 2022 were analyzed for the education platform entry (https://playentry.org). The propensity score matching method and Poisson multilevel regression model were applied as analysis methods. As a result of the analysis, content gamification had a statistically significant effect on engagement, and the interaction effects of interaction and content difficulty were statistically significant.

For development of physical interactive game recognized as next generation game, this study examines the present situation of physical interactive games and analyzes the problem that game contents lack development compared to the hardware. This paper firstly divides the problem of physical interactive game contents into three parts: demand of the contents and biased game genre, low level of game difficulty, and limited use and/or misuse of the motion controller. Then, the possible solutions for each part are suggested afterward. As the discussion on the development methods in physical interactive game will also develop and therefore, as the next generation game, physical interactive game will play a positive role in th growth of game industry as well as game culture.

본 논문에서는 G-러닝 콘텐츠를 사용자 수준에 맞는 난이도 조절을 위해 학습자의 수준을 평가하여 반영하고자 한다. 이때, 학습자의 수준은 게임의 적응도까지 고려하여 설계함으로써 사용자의 적응 훈련도까지 고려한 난이도 조절을 설계한다. 그럼으로써 학습자의 난이도에 맞는 G-러닝이 진행될 수 있도록 한다.

유전자 알고리즘은 문제 크기가 커짐에 따라 해집합이 폭발적으로 늘어나 최적해를 찾기 힘든 최적화 문제에 주로 적용되는 알고리즘으로, 최근에는 게임에서의 경로찾기, 인공지능 및 레벨디자인 문제에 많이 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 퍼즐게임에서의 레벨디자인 문제의 해법으로 유전자 알고리즘의 적용 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 적용한 퍼즐게임은 주어진 그림에 도형 조각을 가능한 빠른 시간 내에 맞추는 게임으로, 스테이지가 진행됨에 따라 높은 난이도의 퍼즐이 나타나도록 하는 것이 중요하다. 제안된 알고리즘을 통해 퍼즐게임의 유의미한 레벨 조절이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 XNA Framework 기반의 모바일 게임 History Adventure를 설계하고 구현한다. 이 모바일 게임은 영웅별 3개의 스테이지 구성되어 있으며 각 단계별로 각 나라를 대표를 하는 영웅들과 전쟁의 발발 원인에 대한 퀴즈 풀이를 진행한다. 이때 정답을 선택하면 HP를 공급하고 실패하면 정답을 알려줌으로써 게임과 학습을 함께 할 수 있다. 영웅들이 적을 격파하지 못하고 적선이 통과를 하게 된다면 HP(Hit Point)는 감소하고, 적선을 격퇴하면 난이도가 높은 스테이지로 이동한다. 게임중에 일정 점수를 획득하면 보너스 코인과 HP를 지급한다. 지급받은 코인 및 HP는 현재 스테이지를 수행하고 다음 스테이지로 이동해도 유효하다. 적의 보스를 처리할시 실제 전쟁의 결과를 알려주면서 다음 단계로 이동한다.

In this study I divided the development history of educational serious games into three periods. from 1995 to 2020 in Korea. I drew out some characteristics of each period. And I analyzed the correlation between the level of technology and learning effects or fun. so I found out some results. According to my analysis, the level of technology and learning effects and fun are not related to successful factors. While play style which is familiar and accessible to students like casual game has been commercially successful. It also confirmed that well-balanced games between fun and learning effects are a key factor in commercial success.
