HARDWARE PUZZLE: An Interactive Puzzle Game for Learning Computer Hardware Components

About the Project

This study presents an interactive puzzle game designed to enhance students’ understanding of basic computer hardware components. Traditional learning materials may limit students’ opportunities to practise identifying hardware components and understanding their functions. An Agile-based iterative approach was adopted, encompassing requirements analysis, game design, prototype development, testing, evaluation, and refinement. The developed game incorporates visual identification, matching puzzles, scoring, and immediate feedback to encourage active participation. The game offers a supplementary learning tool for classroom and self-directed learning. Future evaluation with learners is recommended to assess its effectiveness in improving usability, engagement, and learning outcomes.
