“…[1] A wide variety of cards and board games are being incorporated into health professions education, [3,5,[10][11][12] and Snakes and Ladders has been used previously for medical students. [4] Having fun favors students' learning in part because it increases students' motivation to play the game multiple times and learning all the while. [10] Indeed, studies have shown that repetition increases the effectiveness of games as a learning strategy.…”

“…The number and diversity of serious games used in health professional education have been increasing. [3] Serious games have been shown to increase students' engagement with course material [4,5] and can be at least as effective as other teaching methods. [1] Playing can be categorized as part of experiential learning and has been described as an analytic learning process.…”

Original Research intRoDuction Gamification and serious gaming might have been used interchangeably in the literature; however, their definitions are slightly different. Gamification refers to "the application of the characteristics and benefits of games to real-world processes or problems." [1] With gamification, partial game structure is used to increase motivation or improve users' experience. Points, badges, leaderboards, and avatars are among the most common game elements to be implemented. Examples are numerous in modern, day-today life from coffee reward programs to language learning applications on smartphones. Gamification needs to be differentiated from serious gaming which encompasses games designed with the intent to provide users with education. Serious gaming was originally described as video games "for which the original intention is to combine with consistency, both serious aspects such as [...] teaching, learning, communication, or the information, with playful springs from the video game." [2] The definition has since then been extended to other types of games such as board and card games. [1] Serious games are both standalone learning objects and fully developed games with their own setup, gameplay, and conditions for victory. Background: Serious games have been increasing in popularity within health sciences education. Games can improve learning by increasing students' engagement and by developing their analytical, critical thinking, and teamwork skills. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a board game to teach applied swine antibiotherapy to veterinary students in their clinical year. Methods: Students were quizzed pre-and postclass to evaluate their knowledge retention. An anonymous seven-question survey was given to the students at the end of class to assess their satisfaction with the board game. Results: Students' quiz scores increased by 1.34 points on average between the beginning and end of class (P = 0.03). Students unanimously enjoyed playing the board game and recommended that it continued to be used in the next iteration of the course. Discussion: Using serious gaming proved to be an enjoyable method of reviewing antibiotherapy and applying it to swine clinical cases in this population of veterinary students. Implementing serious gaming in health sciences education requires a time investment for preparation but provides a richer experience for students and faculty alike.

“…Penelitian sebelumnya memperkenalkan konsep makanan bergizi untuk taman kanak-kanak dengan menempatkan gambar-gambar makanan sehat di 'ladder square' dan makanan tidak sehat di 'snake square' [20]. Jenis lain menerapkan permainan ular tangga sebagai media pembelajaran sains untuk siswa sekolah dasar [21], hingga mengajarkan "anatomi" kepada mahasiswa [22]. Penelitian terdahulu menggunakan permainan ular tangga yang dimodifikasi adalah dengan modifikasi dasar berupa penyisipan pertanyaan ke dalam permainan [18], namun dalam penelitian ini akan dieksperimenkan dengan menambahkan pemain yang dimodifikasi dari algoritma computer dengan memperkenalkan konsep penyebaran virus Covid-19 [19].…”

Pendidikan dapat diimplementasikan melalui beragam konsep, salah satunya adalah konsep gamifikasi yang kemudian diadopsi sebagai media pembelajaran. Gamifikasi menjadikan suatu perubahan pada penggunaan media pembelajaran, yaitu dari yang "konvensional" hingga yang lebih "inovatif”. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengadopsi suatu konsep gamifikasi ke dalam sebuah permainan ular tangga guna mendukung pembelajaran mengenai pemahaman tentang Covid-19. Penelitian menggunakan metode dengan model waterfall, yaitu model klasik yang sederhana dengan aliran sistem yang linier, di mana output dari setiap tahap merupakan input bagi tahap berikutnya. Hal tersebut dilakukan dengan melakukan manipulasi script program dan algoritma guna memberikan kebaharuan terhadap aturan permainan ular tangga. Konsep permainan ini diharapkan akan menarik pengguna dan memberikan dampak pemahaman yang diciptakan melalui kesenangan bermain dalam menyelesaikan tantangan. Pembelajaran ular tangga ini sendiri didesain sedemikian rupa dengan interface board yang berubah secara acak setiap kali bermain hingga basis game papan menjadi game digital yang bias diaplikasikan secara offline dan online. Permainan dikembangkan hingga tahapan mode "Online Play", yang memungkinkan pertandingan dapat dimainkan dari berbagai perangkat melalui internet. Game ini menggunakan sistem kotak yang berfungsi sebagai "lobby" dalam game, sehingga pemain secara online bisa memilih untuk bergabung atau menjadi tuan rumah game dan mengundang pemain lain melalui kode game.

“…Previous research introduced the concept of nutritious food for kindergartens by placing pictures of healthy food in 'ladder square' and unhealthy food in 'snake square' [20]. Another type applies the game of snakes and ladders as a science learning medium for elementary school students [21], to teach "anatomy" to students [22]. Previous research using a modified ladder snake game is a basic modification in the form of insertion of questions into the game [18], but in this study will be experimented with adding players modified from a computer algorithm by introducing the concept of the spread of the Covid-19 virus [19].…”

Education can be implemented through various concepts, one of which is the concept of gamification which is then adopted as a learning medium. Gamification to make a change in the use of instructional media, namely of the"conventional" to the more"innovative". This study aims to adopt a concept of gamification into a game of snakes and ladders to support learning about the understanding of Covid-19. The research method with the waterfall model, which is a simple classic model with a linear system flow, where the output of each stage is input for the next stage, this is done by manipulating program scripts and algorithms to provide novelty to the rules of the snakes and ladders game concept. will attract users and provide an impact of understanding created through the pleasure of playing in solving challenges. The learning of snakes and ladders itself is designed in such a way that the board interface changes randomly every time you play until the base board game becomes a digital game that can be applied n offline and online. The game is developed to the stages of the"Online Play" mode, which allows matches to be played from various devices via the internet. This game uses a box system that functions as a"lobby"in the game, so online players can choose to join or host the game and invite other players through the game code.
