Abstract
Description
Educational games have emerged as a dynamic tool for combining learning and entertainment, yet there remains a scarcity of engaging coding education games on mainstream platforms like Steam. LEARN YOUR CODE! addresses this gap by merging coding education with the popular genre of visual novels, creating an anime-inspired game that appeals to a younger audience. The game immerses players in a story-driven experience where they navigate character interactions and solve coding-based puzzles, thereby enhancing their programming skills in a fun and interactive way. Developed using Unity, the project seeks to create a visually captivating environment that not only entertains but also educates. Through the integration of coding challenges, the game progressively teaches coding concepts, making them accessible and enjoyable for players of varying skill levels. The branching narrative and anime-themed artwork serve to increase engagement, ensuring players remain invested in both the story and the educational content. The outcomes of the project include a fully functional visual novel game that promotes learning through problem-solving, interactive gameplay, and character-driven narratives. This unique combination of education and entertainment aims to encourage young players to develop coding skills while enjoying a narrative experience that reflects their interests. LEARN YOUR CODE! stands as an innovative solution to the challenges faced in creating educational games that are both instructive and engaging.
