Final Year Project
Project Title
A Video Game Application Based on Augmented Reality to Help People Learn Programming
Description
Learning programming has always been a challenging task. Even some college students find difficulties in grasping the basic concepts of programming. This happens when an individual lacks problem-solving and cognitive skills. Some statistics proved that students face problems in writing, reading, as well as designing a simple programming code. This project is for the creation of a video game app for cell phones, based on Augmented reality, to help in learning programming. There will be an app for an Android-based system. The application will be using printed cards with functions printed on them. The student will be given a problem in a gaming environment with similar functions to LOGO, initially. The student will have to use the appropriate cards and arrange them in a specific order to solve the problem in the minimum number of cards. The code will also be translated to C# code so that students can see the code being generated to make them learn to program. (Group Project)
