Learning computer programming through game playing

摘要: In this paper we present an approach for teaching and learning Computer Programming through Game playing. This activity is intended to complement traditional of concepts. The focus on building program comprehension rather than generation. playing the game, students improve their ability read understand a written in specific language follow logic program. They build speed comprehension, as required any language. To win have play certain steps repeatedly, using different strategies, with time constraints. repetitiveness reinforces learning. Once they master basic elements program, will experience less frustration coding solutions more challenging problems. preliminary results gaming are encouraging.
