“…The university guidelines for undergraduate computer science curricula from ACM and IEEE (2013) include the following topics, which we suggest for game-based learning in primary and secondary education and which have already been successfully implemented in games: basic principles of machine learning ( Wallace et al, 2008 ; Stöckl, 2019 ), algorithms and complexity ( Hong and Kung, 1981 ; Battistella et al, 2017 ), information theory ( Greeff et al, 2017 ), and computer architecture ( Tlili et al, 2016 ). In mathematics education, the majority of learning games focus on numbers and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis and probability ( Byun and Joung, 2018 ).…”

“…All these games addressed both the cognitive and emotional axes during their development (Malliarakis et al, 2014). Battistella et al (2017) introduced three educational games in data structure course for teaching Quicksort and Heapsort. They concluded that such educational games can contribute positively to the learning outcomes and increase the students' motivation in the course.…”

“…Learning of sorting algorithms is an essential topic in the Data Structure course for Computing Science students in universities [1]. Novice students usually find it challenging to understand the topics and relevant algorithms.…”

“…The use of learning games as education activities to augment the teaching of topics on algorithms and Data Structure course has been found to be effective in improving the understanding of the learners [14]. The educational games are reported for teaching the sorting algorithms: quicksort and heapsort with 23 applications of the games in the Data Structures course [1]. An online game for simulation of the execution steps is presented to teach the Heapsort sorting algorithm in the data structure course [15].…”
