  • PROGRAMMING LEARNING GAMES Identification of Game Design Patterns in Programming Learning Games
    nrik v He d a apa l sk Ma PROGRAMMING LEARNING GAMES Identification of game design patterns in programming learning games Master Degree Project in Informatics One year Level 22’5 ECTS Spring term 2019 Ander Areizaga Supervisor: Henrik Engström Examiner: Mikael Johannesson Abstract There is a high demand for program developers, but the dropouts from computer science courses are also high and course enrolments keep decreasing. In order to overcome that situation, several studies have found serious games as good tools for education in programming learning. As an outcome from such research, several game solutions for programming learning have appeared, each of them using a different approach. Some of these games are only used in the research field where others are published in commercial stores. The problem with commercial games is that they do not offer a clear map of the different programming concepts. This dissertation addresses this problem and analyses which fundamental programming concepts that are represented in commercial games for programming learning. The study also identifies game design patterns used to represent these concepts. The result of this study shows topics that are represented more commonly in commercial games and what game design patterns are used for that. This thesis identifies a set of game design patterns in the 20 commercial games that were analysed. A description as well as some examples of the games where it is found is included for each of these patterns. As a conclusion, this research shows that from the list of the determined fundamental programming topics only a few of them are greatly represented in commercial games where the others have nearly no representation.

  • Cooking Code: Juego Para Aprender a Programar Con Realidad Virtual
    Treball final de grau GRAU D'ENGINYERIA INFORMATICA` Facultat de Matem`atiquesi Inform`atica Universitat de Barcelona Cooking Code: Juego para Aprender a Programar con Realidad Virtual Autor: Iv´anG´omezJim´enez Director: Dra. Inmaculada Rodr´ıguezSantiago Realitzat a: Departament de Matem`atiques i Inform`atica Barcelona, September 14, 2020 Abstract (English) The present project focuses on creating an educational game that allows kids, between the ages of 12 and 16, to get involved in the programming world.Therefore, this game belongs to the serious games's scoupe, wich have as main goal the education. The game is based on the metaphor of a Burger, set in a futuristic era where robots and humans coexist as equals. The player will be the chef of the restaurant, having to learn to read the orders that arrive and carry them out successfully. The main difficulty is that the requests do not arrive in natural language, but in a kind of pseudo-code. This context allows the user to find himself performing simple actions known as making a hamburger, focusing his attention on trying to understand the steps to be carried out through basic, conditional and iterative programming sentences. The chosen platform has been virtual reality, specifically the Oculus Quest. Apart from being a novel technology, it provides very important benefits such as immersion or achieving much more realistic interactions with the environment. As a result of all this, it seeks to create an innovative, fun game that puts the world of programming within the reach of new generations. Abstract (Castellano) El presente proyecto se centra en la creaci´onde un juego educativo que permita a ni~nos,de entre 12 y 16 a~nos,introducirse a la programaci´on.

  • Design and Implementation of Robo : an Applied Game for Teaching
    Politecnico di Milano Scuola di Ingegneria Industriale e dell’Informazione Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Informatica Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria Design and implementation of Robo3: an applied game for teaching introductory programming Advisor: Ing. Daniele Loiacono Author: Filippo Agalbato 850481 Academic Year 2016–2017 Abstract This work discusses the design and implementation of Robo3, a web game to teach programming skills, to be used as a supplement during introductory programming courses. The game helps students to visualize and understand the effects of the code they write; at the same time it allows the instructor to easily author levels on the topic of their choice and to gather data on players’ performance, which can be visualized in aggregate form by a companion dashboard environment. Sommario Questa tesi discute la progettazione e l’implementazione di Robo3, un gioco web volto a insegnare a programmare, il cui scopo è di essere usato come strumento di supporto nei corsi di introduzione alla programmazione. Il gioco permette agli studenti di vedere e capire gli effetti dell’esecuzione del codice da loro scritto; allo stesso tempo, permette a chi tiene il corso di creare facilmente nuovi livelli sugli argomenti che ritiene utili e raccoglie dati sull’andamento dei giocatori, che possono poi essere esaminati in forma aggregata tramite un ambiente dashboard specializzato creato appositamente. Gli ultimi anni hanno visto una crescita nell’importanza data alle com- petenze informatiche e di programmazione, che sempre più vengono usate da molti nella vita di tutti i giorni. In aggiunta a ciò si è assistito a un incremen- to nell’uso e nell’efficacia di metodi di insegnamento alternativi, come l’uso di giochi applicati all’ambito in questione, in funzione di supporto all’inse- gnamento tradizionale.

  • Pony Island & Gamic Action
    Healy | Game Design | 1 Castaway Name: Pony Island Designers: Daniel Mullins, Simon Jenkins Publisher: Daniel Mullins Games Platform: Windows, OS X, Linux Released January 4th, 2016 What it is Pony Island is a meta-fictional game that is difficult to define, by design. The game sees the player trapped in limbo, stuck playing an arcade game named “Pony Island”. Over time, players start to work around the game, collaborating with an all-knowing former player of the game, named H0peles$0ul1, to hack into the devil’s operating system, delete the core files, and free all the souls trapped in the game. The game’s ludic actions come in three parts: pony-platforming, hacking, and a large set of other activities I’ll refer to as ‘GUI stuff’2. The pony platforming, the central mini-game of the experience, is a simple 2D side- scrolling runner, also named “Pony Island”. You control a pony who must jump over hurdles. Eventually additional elements are introduced, including a giant laser coming out of the pony’s mouth that you use to shoot demonic sprites out of the sky and wings that sprout out of the pony’s back to let you glide over large distances. The goal is simple; avoid the obstacles, shoot the bad things. In the game’s fiction, this is a game designed by Lucifer himself. Hacking is where the game gets interesting; this sees the player reaching beyond the titular game and into the game’s pseudocode to break its intended functionality. These hacking sequences resemble sequences of real-life assembly language with the player placing jump commands in order to manipulate variables and reach the end of the code segment.
