    Ludopor – Platform for Creating Word Educational Games

    LudoPor Word Games Creation Platform Samuel José Raposo Vieira Mira March of 2009 Acknowledgements While I have done a lot of work on this project, it would not have been possible without the help of many great people. I would like to thank my mother and my wonderful girlfriend who have encouraged me in everything I have ever done. I also owe a great amount to my thesis supervisor, Rui Prada whose advice and criticism has been critical in this project. Next I would like to thank the Ciberdúvidas community, especially Ana Martins, for having the time and will to try and experiment my prototypes. A special thanks is owed to my good friend António Leonardo and all the users that helped in this project especially the ones in the weekly meetings. 2 Abstract This thesis presents an approach for creating Word Games. We researched word games as Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble and more to establish reasons for their success. After this research we proposed a conceptual model using key concepts present in many of those games. The model defines the Game World with concepts such as the World Representation, Player, Challenges, Links, Goals and Performance Indicators. Then we created LudoPor - a prototype of a platform using some of the referred concepts. The prototype was made using an iterative design starting from paper prototypes to high fidelity prototypes using user evaluation tests to help define the right path. In this task we had the help of many users including persons of Ciberdúvidas (a Portuguese language community). Another objective of LudoPor was to create games for Ciberdúvidas that would be shown in their website.

What is Scrabble? The game of Scrabble has been around since 1933 in one form or another in Western society, so I’ve always thought that everyone would have least heard of it. It wasn’t until recently that I realised there are people out there who don’t know what it is. Oddly enough, one of my relatives who is a very worldly character having run various clubs in his day, whom you would have thought was very knowledgeable brought this fact home to me, he was unaware of what it is.

Commonly referred to as a combination of volleyball and four-square. It is played 2 v 2, with a Spikeball net placed between the teams. A player starts by serving the ball down on the net so it bounces up at the opponents. They have up to three hits between them (like volleyball) to control the ball and bounce it back off the net. When they miss, you score. Once a point starts, players can move or hit the ball anywhere. Giant Snakes and Ladders. Like the classic board game, except your bodies are the tokens! Each player takes a turn rolling the dice. They then move forward the number of spaces shown on the dice. If you end up at the bottom of the ladder, you climb up and if you end up on a snake, you move down. The first player to the “HOME” space wins! Dual Walkers. This is your opportunity to team up to win. Using the dual walkers, each team must walk from point A to point B by using hand ropes to lift boards and move forward. Similar to a three- legged race, the first team to make it to the finish line wins! To make the game more fun, have the teams navigate through obstacles.
