INTRODUCTION

Project Context

Technology at this time of our existence is widespread, specifically computer. It

has been improving where it incorporates with portable techs such as tablets, touchpads,

and mini pads. Most of these gadgets are empowered by Android OS system that

executes with android programs. Through time and effort of brilliant people, several

versions of operating system has been created which are now used to operate tablets and

smartphones.

Android is the most popular mobile platform in the globe. Android’s development

is becoming relevantly popular in its field. Developers tend to target a huge diverse–

audience, therefore they developed and developing computer system software for PC,

mobile and their Applications / Games which are now a success. In years, Games are also

being implemented by the use of the World Wide Web. Programmers and developers

continuously discover and develop new faces, styles of games or apps which most of the

people were looking forward to. With that, several android applications are being

developed. Most are for gaming, application system, knowledge base system, and data

processing.

The researchers of this research developed a game called Squid game. They claim

that it is an addictive game for it is a game for the mind. Squid game can be played solo

or multiplayer. Competing with yourself or with friends and family will be one of its

advantage for the players can not only develop their mind but also their social skills.

of Squid Game. The literature reviewed here provided the researcher insights into the

subject matter of the present study. It also provided researchers’ information and

materials needed in the formulation and development of the data-gathering instrument.

This review consists of books, articles, documents that focus on the same subject matter

or other concepts of the study.

System Technical Background

This chapter discussed the technicality of the entitled “Squid Game”. This system

is a software application or used to plan, implement and assess a specific learning

process. It is used for practice and a user interface that is operated by students.

These are the tools used in the system:

1. Csharp or called C# Programming Language.

2. Adobe Photoshop

5. Blender Tool for Animation

Review of Related Literature, Studies/ Systems

The following are the review of related literatures that will support the present

research conductors’ claim that Squid Game is a good exercise for the brain; according to

J. Lee and H. Jung (2019), Game-based learning is learning that learners reach their

5
learning goals through
COLLEGE OF games that contain
COMMUNICATION ANDeducational
INFORMATIONcontent independently, without
TECHNOLOGY

direct involvement by the instructor. Games naturally provide learners with immersion

and fun, creating an interesting learning environment and giving them a natural and

educational effect in the process of playing. Games for game-based learning must have

learning goals, have fun, and be motivated. In particular, recent researches have shown

that digital game-based learning provides continuous interest to learners and strengthens

motivation to induce active participation, thereby enhancing learning perception along

with natural

review effects (W. Hwang et al.,2016). The interaction effect of the game improved the

logical thinking ability of learners not only in the high learning group but also in the low-

learning group. Prensky has defined generations that use the digital languages of

computers, video games, and the Internet as generations N or D, signaling the emergence

of a different kind of generation from previous generations. Unlike their predecessors,

these generations are very familiar with video and cyberspace. Especially for them,

computer or online games are more than just entertainment or entertainment. Because of

this, everyday life in cyberspace has a huge impact on education and learning. On the

other hand, according to Saksrisathaporn & Maneewan of 2012, student’s study time is

reduced significantly because of the number of activities high school or university

students are expected to participate in. Therefore, studying a periodic table, and trying to

remember all the elements becomes boring and repetitive, more so when trying to

remember from textbooks. If students are unable to learn and remember all the important

details of the main topics, essential elements, the periodic table, and chemical
6
compounds,COLLEGE
it will continually affect theirAND
OF COMMUNICATION future learning inTECHNOLOGY
INFORMATION chemistry, making it difficult

to continue learning, and pass yearly university entrance exams. However, game-based

learning has been used as a tool for centuries and is much more attractive and interesting,

and results in active learning rather than passive learning through textbooks and theory.

Currently, there are only a few other resources that can help students learn chemistry by

themselves. Game-based learning is very close in meaning to a serious game, and a

serious game has become a hot topic in training and education as shown in the abundant

academic research since 2012 (Guillen, V and Aleson-Carbonell, M, 2012). Mostly, the

digital game-based learning available in the market does

not focus on graphics or level designs. For example, the Kagaku Chemistry Periodic

Table of Elements only displays the 16th International Conference on Cognition and

Exploratory Learning in Digital Age (CELDA 2019) table on a scrollable screen and

includes buttons for explanation and a search window (Freewarepocketpc, 2017).

In this review of related literature, it shows the relation of the process of testing

the present researchers’ game. According to Gao et al. (2014) mobile software testing are

set of activities for mobile apps on mobile devices by exhausting definite software test

techniques and tools in order to confirm quality in functionality, performance, and QoS,

as well as features, like mobility, usability, interoperability, connectivity, security and

privacy. The main phases of the testing process include test planning, test designing, test

execution and test analysis (Farooq et al., 2011, Amen et al., 2015).The estimation of

effort for software testing comprises an estimation of test size, effort (Person per Hour),

7
cost and entire schedule
COLLEGE by means of several
OF COMMUNICATION ANDmethods, toolsTECHNOLOGY
INFORMATION and techniques (Abhilasha

and Sharma, 2013). If effort, time and cost required to test the software can be

anticipated, the testing resources can be systematically planned within a set target date to

ensure lucrative culmination of projects. According to Zhu et al.(2008b), for estimating

the test effort the major consideration is given on test designing (creation of test cases)

and test execution.

In addition to that, here are the collected review of related studies/systems that

will prove Squid Game’s claims; as the present researchers mentioned in chapter 1 that

portable gadgets such as android tablets, smartphones, touchpad, etc. are soaring in this

generation.

These type of technology is made for various ways that can possibly assist humans to do

with just a tap of a finger and games are one of them–games that provide entertainment,

relaxation and learning. The different version, styles and stories of every game makes the

common user curious to explore and enjoy from it. From the famous Facebook game

CANDY Crush, Plants versus Zombies, Temple run, Bubble Mania, Angry Birds, and

more, people get to explore and download games that might suit to their individual way

of entertainment. Most of the gaming apps of today’s make use of the scoring, making

the cutest outfits and changing it, making challenging for the gamer to think and create

moves from it. Also, mobile devices have become widely popular devices because they

are easy to use, portable and can support a variety of applications. In this study, a

smartphone game named “Chemistry Pop” was designed and developed. The proposed

game was designed

COMMUNICATION ANDchemistry withTECHNOLOGY
INFORMATION more interest and enthusiasm.

This mobile game aims to support science students to learn and remember the essential

elements in the periodic table with more interest and enthusiasm and to increase the

resources that may help aid students in self-studying. The game is designed with colorful

graphics. The students can play a game and remember the essential elements in the

periodic table at the same time. They can also continue growing and improving these

memories at a higher level of education. The game consists of three stages, each stage

plays differently and has different goals. The first stage is to support the student to

remember the names and symbols of elements from the periodic table. The gameplay of

this stage is adapted from a “Bubble Shooter” game. The single-player video game

Bubble Shooter probably became famous as it is very intuitive and easy to learn. It is a

mix of “Tetris” and “Connect Four” (Shooter-bubble (2019). This creates a game

addiction feeling similar to the Candy Crush Saga game

(Chen, C., 2016). The aim of Bubble Shooter is to collect as many points as possible. To

get points you need to destroy the colored bubbles. For the Chemistry pop game, the

player must connect and group at least three bubbles of the same property to collect them

according to the goal, which is given at each level. Players must shoot the bubbles with

given symbols to collect and clear the goal, which uses the elements' names. To pass each

level, players must clear all progress bars within the time and moves limits. The second

stage is to help students remember the group and period of elements from the periodic

table. The bubbles with element symbols will be released randomly and will always be

moving. Players must use their fingers to touch, hold and drag to form a circle around

the goal, which would be the group or period numbers. The last stage is to help students

remember the 5-chemical compounds. The bubbles will be collected if the connection of

bubbles is in accordance with a chemical compound. To pass each level, players must

clear all progress bars within the time limit. The prototype game was tested and evaluated

with a sample student population. I accordance to that, a research on cognitive

performance improvement by game-based learning has been mainly conducted from

healthy young adult samples. Bruce D. Homer has been shown to be effective in training

cognitive skills by proposing custom video games to support the development of high

school students' executive functions showed that digital games were effective for

improving the attention of students for Brazilian elementary school students (Homer,

2018).

Synthesis

After reviewing the literature and studies, most of the research positive in the

gamification of learning material. The goal of this literature review was to support the

idea on game based learning and the gamification. The underlying result of the literature

and studies shows that the uses of games improve students’ learning. The increasing

integration of digital games and applied sciences into learning environments has an

impact on student’s learning. Game-based learning has been shown to be effective in both
10
learning andCOLLEGE
teaching. Information learned
OF COMMUNICATION through game-based
AND INFORMATION learning is retained

longer that information learned through other techniques. A successful learning process is

one in which you are completely immersed in the task at hand. At the same time,

gamification becomes the latest phenomena to try to engaged the students fully in

learning. The use of it has a successful outcome may it be used in business or in

education. (Chou, 2017; Mollick and Rothbard, 2014).

Meanwhile, the methods of teaching in the Philippines are still relatively

traditional and lack innovation. Game Based Learning in the Philippines still has less

study and is highly probable that use of it in instruction will not guarantee learning gains

over time. “Filipinos might have designed board games utilized in class, however very

few Filipinos have researched on the use of educational games as learning tools.” (Conte,

2017, p 2). The same with the lack of interest in the study of Philippine mythology. Many

teachers and students find the lack of enthusiasm in the subject. It is very important to

learn about the Philippine mythology because according to Jacano (2018), it is the most

important functions in the society

Requirement Documentation

The Squid game consists of two categories which are the “Flip match and the

Puzzle Game”. The Flip match game consists of different level; 10 pairs, 15 pairs and 20

pairs where player/s can choose how many pairs to match. It contains different images of

pairs of squids with different colors to be matched. When choosing higher or more set of

pairs, the more it gets challenging and addictive.

There are also a game time, it indicates on how much time you used in completing

a game. The smaller the time the faster you are. Game times can be find in the history

where it has been recorded. Each set of pairs has its own top 3 scores.

In Puzzle Game, you can choose the time level; the 60 seconds and the 130

seconds. When the time level is fully consumed and the game is over, the player’s score

will be shown after. Recorded scores are also in the history.
