Abstract

Learning to program can be a tedious task for students. The intrinsic motivation towards games can help to facilitate the first steps in such learning tasks. In this paper we introduce FunPlogs – a serious puzzle mini-game for learning fundamental programming principles. We use visual scripting aspects within this game. These must be used by the students to solve spatial puzzle-like tasks. Within this game we integrate a user-driven content creation approach for the game, so that students can cooperatively create new levels. We show the feasibility of the game concept in a prototype implementation and indicate a high joy of use during a user study.
