PENGEMBANGAN GAME EDUKASI UNTUK PENGENALAN SIMBOL FLOWCHART DAN FUNGSINYA BAGI SISWA SEKOLAH MENENGAH KEJURUAN

Abstract Flowchart is a systematic presentation of the process and logic of information handling activities or graphical depiction of the steps and sequences of procedures of a program. Delivering flowchart symbols and their functions to students requires a unique approach to make it easier for students to learn. The problem is that the learning that has been done so far only uses videos, explanations using power point directly and coding programming so that students are less interested and do not understand the material presented. So the purpose of the research is to develop educational games to make it easier for students in learning basic programming to be more familiar with flowchart symbols using educational games for the introduction of flowchart symbols and their functions for Vocational High School students. The type of research used in this research is Research & Development, with the Waterfall development model. The waterfall method is useful in order to produce software with good and effective quality through 4 stages, namely requirements analysis, system design, implementation, and testing. This method has a small level of risk for software development that is quite long. This research has produced a product that is proven to help students become more familiar with flowchart symbols and their functions in flowchart material in basic programming lessons through trials on 30 students at SMKN 1 Pedan Klaten, with an average result on student questionnaires of 75,5 on a System Usability Scale. Which states 10 statements included in the Excellent And Acceptable category with Grade C and the reliability test states 10 valid statements. Keywords: Educational games, Flowcharts, 3D Games

Системне проектування it‐архітектур підприємств

After the end of martial law in peaceful Ukraine, one of the priority tasks will be the reconstruction of destroyed enterprises and industries. These processes must begin with the conceptual design of the IT architectures of the restored enterprises. However, the successful resolution of these tasks has a number of established difficulties. The paper provides a list of these features, which affect the paradigm shift of computerization and the tran‐sition of management systems to socio‐computer‐integrated systems. These peculiarities require changes in the training of Masters in Computer Engineering and their accelerated training in the new curriculum (as future systems analysts). In order to organize such training, a methodology for conceptual design of it-architectures, including Soft Skills, is proposed.Після закінчення воєнного стану в мирній Україні одним із першочергових завдань стане відновлення зруйнованих підприємств і виробництв. Ці процеси необхідно починати з концептуального проектування ІТ‐архітектури відновлюваних підприємств. Однак успішне вирішення цих завдань має ряд встановлених труднощів. У статті наведено перелік цих особливостей, які впливають на зміну парадигми комп’ютеризації та перехід систем управління до соціо‐комп’ютерно‐інтегрованих систем. Ці особливості вимагають змін у підготовці магістрів комп’ютерної інженерії та їх прискореного навчання за новою навчальною програмою (як майбутніх системних аналітиків). Для організації такого навчання пропонується методологія концептуального проектування IT‐архітектур, включаючи Soft Skills

Min Metall Explor

Recent advances in computing, rendering, and display technologies have generated increased accessibility for virtual reality (VR). VR allows the creation of dynamic, high-fidelity environments to simulate dangerous situations, test conditions, and visualize concepts. Consequently, numerous products have been developed, but many of these are limited in scope. Therefore, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health researchers developed a VR framework, called VR Mine, to rapidly create an underground mine for human data collection, simulation, visualization, and training. This paper describes the features of VR Mine using self-escape and proximity detection as case studies. Features include mine generation, simulated networks, proximity detection systems, and the integration and visualization of real-time ventilation models.CC999999/Intramural CDC HHS/United States2020-08-01T00:00:00Z30906920PMC64235448081vault:3345

La Producción de Juegos Serios Móviles : Posibilidades y Desafíos para el Docente de Nivel Superior

Las posibilidades que los juegos digitales presentan en el marco de una propuesta didáctica, no resulta novedoso, sin embargo y en relación a las experiencias concretas de integración de los juegos digitales en los espacios de enseñanza y aprendizaje, se observa una limitación dada por las posibilidades de adaptación de los mismos a contextos específicos. Así, resulta importante avanzar en la búsqueda de herramientas preferentemente de acceso libre y gratuito que permitan a los docentes la creación de sus propios juegos o la edición de otros creados por terceros, a partir de perfiles con distinto grado de conocimientos sobre programación. En este artículo se presentan los resultados obtenidos a partir de la búsqueda, selección y análisis de herramientas entre ellos plataformas web, aplicativos de software, y/o frameworks, que posibilitan la creación de juegos serios en particular aquellos considerados móviles, y que incluyen interacciones usando realidad aumentada a través de códigos QR y/o geoposicionamiento, por parte de usuarios con perfiles técnicos de diferentes niveles.Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informátic

Integrating virtual reality and GIS tools for geological mapping, data collection and analysis: an example from Metaxa Mine, Santorini (Greece)

In the present work we highlight the effectiveness of integrating different techniques and tools for better surveying, mapping and collecting data in volcanic areas. We use an Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) approach for data collection, integrated with Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis in a well-known volcanological site in Santorini (Metaxa mine), a site where volcanic processes influenced the island’s industrial development, especially with regard to pumice mining. Specifically, we have focused on: (i) three-dimensional (3D) high-resolution IVR scenario building, based on Structure from Motion photogrammetry (SfM) modeling; (ii) subsequent geological survey, mapping and data collection using IVR; (iii) data analysis, e.g., calculation of extracted volumes, as well as production of new maps in a GIS environment using input data directly from the IVR survey; and finally, (iv) presentation of new outcomes that highlight the importance of the Metaxa Mine as a key geological and volcanological geosite

Escape the Planet: Revolutionizing Game Design with Novel OOP Techniques

Mobile devices are continuously evolving and greater computing power and graphics capabilities are being introduced every year. As a result, there is an increasing demand for challenging and engaging mobile games that leverage these advanced features. This project explores best design practices using the development of Escape the Planet, which is an intricate maze game for mobile devices in which players navigate using a spaceship that is trapped in a hostile planet’s maze while avoiding obstacles and enemy attacks. The goal is to safely guide the spaceship out of the maze without colliding into walls or taking bullets from defensive cannons. Players can use shields and collect power-ups such as extra fuel or shield boosters to help their chances but must demonstrate skill, strategy, and patience to succeed. With multiple maze configurations, escalating difficulty levels, collectible rewards, and threatening enemies, Escape the Planet aims to provide an exciting, suspenseful gameplay experience challenging enough to appeal to hardcore gamers. The inspiration comes from observing the expanding mobile games market revenue, especially for ports of popular console/PC game franchises once considered too computationally intensive for mobile. By focusing on efficient coding, complex gameplay elements, and leveraging newer device capacities, this project utilizes the full potential of modern mobiles for an engaging, high-quality game worthy of monetization. With sufficient polish and testing, Escape the Planet will be released on the Android store and hopefully to the iOS store to contribute an innovative title to the maturing mobile gaming landscape
