Desarrollo de un prototipo de videojuego educativo para la asignatura de Programación Avanzada

Abstract

The present project consists of the development of an educational video game prototype focused on the Advanced Programming subject using a serious game approach, which is composed of three main elements: educational component, playful component and database. In addition, the prototype has an additional component that allows the management of users and educational content. This prototype was implemented using the Unity development engine in conjunction with Photon Unity Networking (PUN). While, for the management of educational content, the MySQL Server database manager is used. This document is organized as follows: The first chapter presents the objectives, scope and theoretical information related to serious games and the agile SCRUM development methodology. In the second chapter, the results of the analysis of the requirements obtained during the Pre-game phase are presented; also includes the design of the database, user stories, mockups and the architecture of the prototype made in the Game phase. In the third chapter, the results of the connectivity and operation tests of the prototype are shown, as well as the results of the surveys carried out with students in order to validate the correct operation of the prototype and its acceptance. The fourth chapter contains the conclusions and recommendations.
