Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study mobile game-based learning (MGBL) content development, discuss and analyse the suitability and effectiveness of the user interface (UI) that is designed for children to improve their learning process and revive the traditional games through the mobile application. A better comprehension of the mobile game-based learning application development can be gained and more accessible to the meaning behind the user interface with data collection of this research. Besides that, the researchers are aiming to raise awareness on the traditional games that are becoming forgotten by society to appreciate the beauty of the culture and importance of traditional games by infusing those elements into the mobile game application. Over this research, the researchers have chosen the expert from Raxbit, a full-service mobile application developer based in Kedah, Malaysia to carry out an interview session for gaining more information and a better understanding of education and interactive game development. The researchers analyzed five case studies, which are Puzzle Games- Alice in the Mirrors of Albion and Candy Crush, Gen Shin Impact, Pokemon, and Pathway. The details and evidence used to analyse the case studies originated from a literature review. The case studies are finding the solutions to correspond with the research question.
