Study on the Modelling of Effective Coding Puzzle Game for Infant Learning

In this paper, we analyze the modeling of educational coding games, implement coding games that are effective for infants and children, and evaluate the suitability for children. After analyzing the learning concepts, UI system, and characteristics of game system that are core to various coding puzzle games on the market, new puzzle game is developed based on these analytics. The learning concepts, UI system and game system of the developed game are introduced and the mock-up and practical course of the daycare center where the developed game is applied is described. The evaluation process for all three items of concept visualization, intuitive element, and difficulty control were evaluated (each 5 perfect score) by daycare center teachers for the game developed to determine the level of play in practice. The developed game displayed 4.08 points in the intuitive element, 3.72 points in difficulty control, and 3.44 points in concept visualization, all with above-normal results. For the visualization of concepts, the application of formatting that can be used in the concept itself, for the intuitive elements the application of clear elements that signal the beginning and end of stages, and for the difficulty control the application of exercise chapter were found to be the main factors.
