The convergence of education and game came from efforts to compensate for the boredom of learning. As the digital technology has been developed, this new integrated field accrued to the birth of the Educational Serious Game. It has been noted on both side of industry and academic research. Despite all natural concerns, studies of the educational Serious Game tend to show the partial directivity on the learning aspects rather than the nature of the Educational Serious Game. Therefore in this study the combination aspects of fun and learning in the Educational Serious Game through various case studies is to analyse.

Traditionally, simulation-based learning games which are known as flight-simulators have been constructed as a black-box game. Within a black-box game, game-players can view and modify only a part of model parameters. Game-players cannot change the structure of a simulation model. In a black-box game, game-players cannot understand and learn the system structure which is responsible for the system behavior. In this paper, the multi-tasking at the level of operating systems is exploited to enhance the transparency of simulation-based learning game. The white-box game or transparent-box game allows game-players ot view and modify the model structure. The multi-tasking solution for white-box learning game is implemented with Smalltalk language on MS-/windows operating system.

Underachievers, having had more experience with failure in teaming, tend to lose their self-confidence and motivation for study. If they achieve more when studying, they will enhance their self-confidence and motivation and their learning accomplishments will be increased. A game-style learning system was, therefore, developed in which the learner gains self-satisfaction and motivation with a proper 'hit and win' in a game-style program. The system supplies learning content automatically and randomly while adapting to the student's level by continuously checking the learning progress. Positive effects in motivation and learning achievement were recorded when underachievers used this program.

This article aims to present an effective and systematic learning methodology of game curriculum which is oriented convergence education. In particular, I will present the 4PBL model reflecting the trend of the changing times from teacher-centered learning to learner-centered learning environment. The 4PBL model consists of Personal based Learning, Problem based Learning, Project based learning and Performance based Learning. In this article, I will explain the concepts and characteristics of PBLs at each stage by providing concrete examples of game education courses. Such an attempt may have a meaningful value in that it can suggest a learning environment in which knowledge can be structured subjectively in a changing educational paradigm.

Game program manufacture had been classed by 3D or on-line game etc. simply. But, atomized game programmer's kind now. So, Artificial Intelligence game programmer's role is important. This paper used reinforcement learning algorithm for Jul_Gonu board characters to learn, and so they can move intelligently. To compare a learned character to an random one, a board game was created, and then they fought against each other. As a result, learned character‘s ability was far more improved.

Game program had been classed by 3D or on-line game etc, and engine and game programming simply, But, game programmer's kind more classified new, Artifical Intelligence game programmer's role is important. This paper makes game character study and moved by intelligence using reinforcement learning algorithm. Fought with character enemy using developed game, Confirmed whether embodied game character is facile by intelligence, As result of an experiment, we know, studied character defends excellently than randomly moved character.

This paper proposes a decision making scheme for choosing the best move at each state of game in order to implement an artificial intelligence othello game player. The proposed decision making scheme predicts the various possible states of the game when the game has progressed from the current state, evaluates the degree of possibility of winning or losing the game at the states, and searches the best move based on the evaluation. In this paper, we generate learning data by decomposing the records of professional players' real game into states, matching and accumulating winning points to the states, and using the Artificial Neural Network that learned them, we evaluated the value of each predicted state and applied the Minimax search to determine the best move. We implemented an artificial intelligence player of the Othello game by applying the proposed scheme and evaluated the performance of the game player through games with three different artificial intelligence players.

This study examined the effects of simulation game-based learning on academic emotions (positive, negative) and achievement (factual, conceptual, procedural knowledge acquisition). Sixty-three students from a high school located in South Korea were chosen for the study. The students were assigned to either an experimental group for simulation game-based learning or a comparison group for instructor-led lectures. The results demonstrated that there was a significant difference between the comparison and experimental groups in both positive and negative academic emotions. However, there was no significant difference in factual, conceptual and procedural knowledge acquisition. The results indicate that simulation game-based learning generates more positive emotions than instructor-led lectures.

In this paper, the prototyping process for developing syllable-initial consonant-based game 'Korean Guards' is described. Users may effectively learn Korean words using alphabetically sequential approaches, but the easiness of access bestowed on the smart environments and game algorithms could be fully utilized for the functional advantages for educational purposes. This functional game is developed on Android OS and the prototypical outcome is shown.

This study proposes an educational game system that fit for portable internet environment as a solution to disadvantages of conventional education systems such as lack of understanding learners' learning level and one-way learning. The study analyses conventional e-Learning contents and platforms and proposes a new system adequate for high contents reusability and user-demand service. The learning contents that mainly consist of animations and games can be adjusted to learners' level, and therefore, learners can study according to various scenarios, not constrained in a fixed pattern. Our system is expected to bring much more fun to learners and the education can be conducted more effectively. To show the effectiveness of our system, an example of english pronunciation game was illustrated. As a result, the week points of the conventional e-Learning was overcame and new features of the interactivity was adopted to build a more effective educational game system.
