C++ programming language is widely used in the industry and has become a compulsory course to learn in most universities in Malaysia. C++ programming is a powerful language that supports many ways of a program, such as procedural, object-oriented, and functional. However, this language seems difficult to learn, especially for students not in Computer Science background. The students face a problem in understanding the concept and do not enjoy the course. Thus, the students become demotivated. Games are fun activities that can enhance the process of thinking, learning, and problem-solving strategies. With these criteria, educational games are one of the best learning methods to improve the existing learning process. This study purposely develops and evaluates a computer game for C++ programming introductory based on Snake and Ladder board game. This game named SLC++ aimed to attract the students to enjoy their study and understand the concept of a programming language. The development is based on iterative methodology, consisting of planning, design, prototype, playtest, evaluate, and deployment phases. From 120 students, 88.64% strongly perceive SLC++, with 90.83% who are motivated, 90.56% attract with the c++ language, and 87.33% understand the introductory for c++ language after completing the game.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
