This study aims to investigate the factors that enable or hinder the implementation of game development activity in the instructional process. One instructor and 15 gifted students between the ages of 11 and 15 took part in the study. The students developed computer games related to science topics using MS Kodu game engine within the implementation process. According to the findings, it is seen that instructional practices have great importance, and the instructor plays a key role in the activity. Making and playing games have been the greatest motivation resource for students. In addition, the social environment can be an important tool in sustaining students' motivation levels. The students' negative attitudes toward educational game topics and non-computer activities hinder the successful implementation of the activity. The MS Kodu game engine might be appropriate for novice designers but not be enough for teaching programming concepts. Team-based game development activity is believed to be useful for developing advanced games and increasing the level of interaction between students.

This work presents an alternative approach for developing computational thinking: the graph grammars. Many related terms are individually explored in order to clarify what is in the range of computational thinking. The selection of the terms draws on a systematic literature review that sheds a light on the most commonly addressed terms in the computational thinking literature. A formal and visual language, the graph grammar, is introduced, formally defined and explored, discussing its relations with computational thinking skills. An educational game and a game engine are developed and presented as examples of graph grammars to promote computational thinking. As result, a comprehensive framework to develop and assess computational thinking through graph grammars is theoretically grounded and made available by the developed educational tools.

Lost in Toraja game is an educational game with adventure-puzzle genre. The main character is Orion, who explores Tana  Toraja,  South Celebes, one of local area  in Indonesia. Orion is a character from West Java, and his intention to Tana Toraja is looking for her missing sister when she’s on her trip there.Lost in Toraja has a playtime around 30-45 minutes. The player will become a main character, who enter the game area, and they have to find the way out. Each area has several puzzle that player has to solved. The game was made using digital technique in Unity game engine, and will be build in Android platform and Windows platform.The game’s intention is to spread Tana Toraja culture among Indonesian’s citizen itself, even into foreign country. Game is a pleasing media to have fun and leart at once.Keywords: Game, Adventure-Puzzle, 2D, Education, Tana Toraja

Introducing environment is important for children. Included in this environment is the life of living beings such as humans, animals, and plants. The role of parents is needed in introducing the living creatures. One of the living creatures that endeared children are animals, especially the pets. Therefore made educational game The Pets. With the game "The Pets" is expected to help parents to teach the children in learning about pets based on place of living and food. In this paper describes how to design and create introducing pet game based on the type of food and its habitat in two different languages . "The Pets" has the Android platform with a minimum API Level 14 is created using the game engine Construct 2. Using two dimensional model and image with interesting coloring for children, and using the application CorelDraw X4. From results of the survey, "The Pets" can provide new knowledge and can assist children in learning about pets based on place of living and food. Children who previously could not mention animals vocabulary in English, after playing "The Pets" can name them into English.

Mathematics is an essential subject for students to master from the start. However, most students have difficulty learning mathematics and reduce interest in learning. This is one of the causes of low math test results. Therefore, a learning method or media was needed that can attract students' interest in learning. One of the learning media that can attract students' interest in educational games. This study aims to develop educational games that can be needed as a medium for learning mathematics, primarily material about geometry. The research method used in this research is development research. The geometry learning path is used as the basis for game design. The trial was conducted with a small group involving teachers and students. The game was developed using the Unity 3D game engine with a digital storytelling model in the geometry learning pathway in elementary schools. The results of the development show that the educational game with the name "GEMBIRA" can help improve the ability to learn flat shapes. This game can also help the learning process of students who experience learning trajectories based on Piaget and Van Hiele's learning trajectories. The game "GEMBIRA" can also attract students' attention to complete all the games, so that students can gain complete knowledge and understanding of the concept of flat shapes. Teachers are advised to use the game "GEMBIRA" in the learning process, especially learning material for flat shapes. It is suggested for learning media developers, especially educational game developers, to develop educational games by referring to the learning trajectory that students must pass so that the games developed can complement the learning process at school. Matematika merupakan mata pelajaran yang penting untuk dikuasai oleh siswa sejak awal. Namun, sebagian besar siswa mengalami kesulitan belajar matematika dan mengurangi minat belajar. Hal ini menjadi salah satu penyebab hasil tes matematika cenderung rendah. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan cara atau media pembelajaran yang dapat menarik minat belajar dari siswa. Salah satu media pembelajaran yang dapat menarik minat siswa adalah game edukasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan game edukasi yang dapat digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran matematika khususnya materi tentang geometri. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian pengembangan. Lintasan belajar geometri digunakan sebagai dasar untuk merancang game. Uji coba dilakukan dengan small group yang melibatkan guru dan siswa. Game dikembangkan dengan menggunakan game engine Unity 3D dengan model digital storytelling dalam lintasan belajar geometri di sekolah dasar. Hasil pengembangan menunjukkan bahwa game edukasi dengan nama “GEMBIRA” dapat membantu meningkatkan efektivitas pembelajaran bangun datar. Game ini juga dapat membantu proses belajar siswa yang mengalami lompatan tahapan pembelajaran berdasarkan lintasan belajar Piaget dan Van Hiele. Selain itu, game “GEMBIRA” juga dapat menarik perhatian siswa untuk menyelesaikan seluruh game, sehingga siswa dapat memperoleh pengetahuan dan pemahaman yang utuh mengenai konsep bangun datar. Guru disarankan untuk menggunakan game “GEMBIRA” dalam proses pembelajaran, khususnya pembelajaran materi bangun datar. Selain itu juga disarankan bagi para pengembang media pembelajaran khususnya pengembang game edukasi, untuk mengembangkan game-game edukasi dengan mengacu pada lintasan belajar yang harus dilalui siswa sehingga game yang dikembangkan dapat melengkapi kekurangan proses pembelajaran di sekolah.

Mobile device technology is growing rapidly, especially with the emergence of smartphones with Android operating system. Users, in this case, can download a variety of basic applications available easily in the google play store. But most are available in the form of less educational games. Even often the negative impact on users, especially for children who still can not distinguish positive and negative. Thus the researchers create a puzzle game application that can provide entertainment and education to users, especially children. The puzzle game application introduces this selected computer device built using Construct 2 game engine converted with Phonegap into Apk files. Application of this application by installing puzzle game application on a smartphone with operating system specification android version 4.4.2 KitKat. Keywords: Educational Game, Computer Device, Construct 2
