“…In our previous paper [MTJV09], we identified two solutions to map learning objectives into the game. First a campaign can be used, divided in missions (equivalent to exercises), to gradually introduce learning topics and enable students to learn how to play and program AIs (student motivation is maintained by the campaign story).…”

International audienceThis paper presents an experimental feedback on a serious game dedicated to strengthening programming skills. This serious game, called Prog&Play, is built on an open source real-time strategy game. Its goal is to be compatible with different students, teachers and institutions. We based its evaluation on an iterative process that allows to implement the game and carry out experimentations in several contexts. Through this assessment, we define a framework which has been tested by third parties and we analyse both positive and negative points in order to improve the project. Evaluation is indeed beneficial and enables you to establish communication about the implemented practices

“…It is a well documented fact that there is a problem with Computer systems majors [8], since universities experiment a decrease on student demand [12], and abandonment because the low motivation from students towards difficult programming courses [14]. As this is of great concern between researches, heads are being turn towards using video games as a motivator for students in computer curricula and research [10].…”

For beginners in computer programming, the learning curve can be in many cases quite steep, especially if it is their first contact with this area. Plus, the traditional learning methodologies are usually based on doing countless exercises that aim to cover many areas, but are often disconnected from each other and can become tiresome, as they offer little immediate rewards to the student.Nowadays serious games technology offers tools that may have potential to help computer programming students to become more engaged on their learning through a `learn while having fun' approach. This paper aims to generally describe our approach on the creation of a platform for deploying serious computer games for the teaching of any computer programming language. We will begin by describing the game mechanics, followed by the general system architecture and its data model, finalizing with a small conclusion.

“…Despite the effectiveness and good reputation of educational games, several factors limit the spread of this tool in the educational system of several universities. This is mainly due to the high cost of the design, and also to the difficulty that designers consider in the absence of clear and easy to adapt tools [14]. The problem is therefore to define models dedicated to the creation of learning games with the following objectives: − Guarantee a more adequate level of simplicity and ease of adaptation.…”

In this article, we propose a new model for the learning games design, which aims to enrich and solve the problems of existing models. From the work carried out around the models of educational games, we carefully identify a series of steps to follow, taking into account the simplicity, ease of adaptation and the integration of several factors interest such as the integration of a set sub-models treated pedagogically define the pedagogical side in the game, also the distribution of the intervening necessary for each of the stages to ensure better collaboration between them, for the purpose to helping the creators to trace their path from the start of the creation, in order to achieve the best example of games with an adequate oscillation pedagogical-fun, that will meet the requirements of existing classical teaching methods.
