Web-based Board Game for Learning Python

With the vigorous development of science and technology, learning is no longer limited by time and place. Effective learning and learning motivation are goals most educators focus on. We adopted web programming to replace a traditional board game with an online game, pyMaze. The web-based game we propose can effectively address the disadvantages of traditional learning approaches because learners can play it anytime and anywhere. The mode of learning can alleviate the physical and mental fatigue caused by traditional classroom instruction and thus can elevate learning motivation. We applied the game in our educational environment, and the results suggest that the game had positive functional affordance. It was effective in practical applications, and it achieved positive outcomes.
