The development of the serious game is based on state of the art technologies and insights. The game is fully web-based, 3D perspective (via Unity3D plug-in) and is suitable to play on low-budget computers. The game offers a semi-realistic simulation with game-like visual styles (cartoony) and low entry barriers (easy to understand; multiple levels in order to bring-in more complexity). All these approaches enable a wide distribution of the Enercities serious game across Europe.

Students learn about the periodic table and how pervasive the elements are in our daily lives. After reviewing the table organization and facts about the first 20 elements, they play an element identification game. They also learn that engineers incorporate these elements into the design of new products and processes. Acting as computer and animation engineers, students creatively express their new knowledge by creating a superhero character based on of the elements they now know so well.

This math game teaches number recognition and progression, and strengthens rote counting skills.

Despite much publicity surrounding the use of computer games in education, most applications have involved either expensive games for high-end users or force-fitting of commercial games to the academic environment. There have been few controlled studies to find the ‘active ingredients’, let alone account for placebo. The success of non-games such as The Sims and Second Life suggests that it is the virtual world interactivity rather than game elements which is creating the addictive interest.

What is well-established, however, is a demand for learning objects which can be dis-aggregated, customised, and adapted to curricula, rather than vice-versa. The theme is ‘make your own resource’. This requires low cost resources with flexibility, attractiveness, and a quick learning curve. Such materials have been sitting under our noses for some years in the form of the later additions to spreadsheets. The venerable spreadsheet can now serve as a presentation (ie- like PowerPoint) storyboard, quasi-animation tool, and game hub.

This presentation draws together the recent advances in Control Box form tools, clip art human characters, special fonts, and modified Charts (ie- graphs) to produce the look and feel of virtual worlds without special programming, macro’s, or plug-ins.
