This document discusses the development of a 2D platform game for children up to 5 years old that incorporates a physics engine. The game aims to teach basic concepts of physics like friction and collisions through play, while also imparting early education on alphabets. It was created using GameSalad and an integrated 2D physics engine to govern environmental objects and player movement. The game went through various testing stages including functionality, compatibility, beta and regression testing to ensure quality.

2.  Computer and Video Games are one of the most popular and the
most important products of the software industry. One of the
greatest contributors to this success is the rapid improvement of
technologies. However, the Game Development processes still
have to face some difficulties. In fact, the lack of guidelines and
theoretical foundations are the major causes for most of Game
Designers need to bring their own experiences and intuitions into
the Game Design. Therefore, it is essential to increase the
involvement of the Human Computer Interaction (or HCI) and
design in the processes of designing games.

3.  Developed an angry birds type platform game from
scratch which aims at cognitive development of children
as well as providing them with an enjoyable environment
to learn the basics of counting and alphabets. Thus we
have made an attempt to revolutionize the methodology
of learning by utilizing the screens available to the
present generation for their own benefit.

5. In order to create a game which can be easily
learned, effectively played and enjoyed at the
same time, the Game Designers should not only
use their own intuitions and experiences but also
it is important to build a relationship between
design and use.

6.  a list of principles for Game Design were brought
together. They serve for the one common goal – to
create a better and more usable interface. And
lastly but not least important was the set of skills
that can be useful for every Game Designer. It is
essential to point out that, by no mean, this list is
neither completed or that can be applied for
every scenario.
 The purposes of game form into a set of game
genres, then the technologies help to bring those
ideas into life.
 these principles will serve as guidelines for every
Game Designer, and they can be changed
accordingly depended on the situation.

7.  Every Game Development process requires high
level of complexity, which includes teams of
programmers, artists, project managers, writer,
musicians and also some other roles. Among these
roles, the Game Designer is at the central of
Game Development process.
 One of the matters was about the HCI
technologies which contributed to the interaction
in games, and the other was about using HCI to
solve the negative effect of computer and videos
games have in the modern society. In addition,
the game interface design process was also
introduced as one of the applica-tions of HCI in
Game Interface Development; the HCI human
factors are the major element to decide the
design‘s goals for the Designer.

9.  Game Design:
They noticed that students often have creative
ideas but miss factors that might at first seem
intuitive.So, Workshop were organized that
reintroduces strategy, game- play, and story to
focus on designing games from the player’s
perspective so that students can assess how this
affects code and assets.

10. This paper presents the challenges and possibilities
that arise from the integration of a 2D physics engine into an
adventure game platform (i.e. engine and editor). This integration
allows the use of a complex physics model within a narrative
environment, thus increasing expressiveness and educational
potential (through re-usability and increased challenge). In this
work eAdventure is used as the adventure game platform and
Box2D is used as the physics engine. While adventure games have
been successfully applied in educational contexts from language
learning to medicine, including a physics engine broadens the
number of subjects that can be covered, thus increasing the scope
and potential of the resulting games.

11.  Gameplay
Students often design games from an abstract
perspective, as if the characters in the game are
self-governed and the designer is an all-knowing
god. For example, they might propose a game
about two aliens battling over a magic crystal. The
students will have decided the game’s look and
physical characteristics, the aliens’ abilities, the
conflict’s backstory, and bizarre power-ups, yet
disagree when we ask them whether the game is
played from a first- or third-person perspective or
whether it’s played with a keyboard or controller.

12.  Game Development
Once the students have vetted their game concept
on the basis of the concerns we just detailed, they
follow an iterative Scrum development cycle that
permits continual refinement. This has introduced
problems due to students having little experience
in incremental development, milestone planning,
and resource management. We now structure the
milestones to guide inexperienced students in
long-term project planning. Development now
involves three distinct phases: establishing the as-
set pipeline, refining and balancing gameplay, and
dressing up the game.

13.  The 80/20 Rule
Direct teams to focus on efforts that provide the
most “bang for the buck,” as exemplified by the
80/20 rule, also called the Pareto principle or the
“vital few and trivial many.” This rule states that
approximately 20 percent of the vital tasks
produce 80 percent of the results.

15.  "Game Engineering" deals with the
application of game theoretic methods to
interactive situations or systems in which the
rules are well defined, or where the designer
can himself specify the rules. This talk,
which addressed a business-school audience
with no specific knowledge of game theory,
describes five examples of gameengineering:
two dealing with auctions, two with traffic
systems, and one with arbitration.
 Few examples of ‘game engineering’:

16.  Design physics based 2D platform game,
incorporating the physics system of Game
Engine to govern the environmental objects and
player character. The game aims at providing
enjoyment and increase learning of the users
regarding various fundamental concepts of
physics such as friction, velocity, bounciness and
collisions which lead to cognitive development
as well as impart kindergarten teaching to kids
up to 5 years of age.

17. A platform game (or platformer) is a video game which
involves guiding an avatar to jump between suspended
platforms, over obstacles, or both to advance the game.
These challenges are known as jumping
puzzles or freerunning. The player controls the jumps
to avoid letting the avatar fall from platforms or miss
necessary jumps. The most common unifying element
of games of this genre is the jump button. Jumping, in
this genre, may include swinging from extendable
arms, as in Ristar or Bionic Commando, or bouncing
from springboards or trampolines, as in Alpha Waves.

18.  The unique structural elements of games build
brainpower because they:
 Provide a platform for self-directed exploration
 Deliver just-in-time learning
 Use data to help players understand their
progress, and what to do and where to go next in
the game
 Create a compelling need to know, ask, examine,
assimilate, and master skills and content

 Taking these things into consideration, we have
designed a game for children upto 5 years for
learning alphabets along with playing game.

19. A side-scrolling game or side-scroller is a video
game in which the gameplay action is viewed
from a side-view camera angle, and the onscreen
characters generally move from the left side of
the screen to the right (or less commonly, right
to left) to meet an objective. These games make
use of scrolling computer display technology. The
move from single-screen or flip-screen graphics
to scrolling graphics, during the golden age of
video arcade games and during third-generation
consoles, would prove to be a pivotal leap in
game design, comparable to the move to 3D
graphics during the fifth generation.
