Desenvolvimento de um jogo digital educacional sobre redes de computadores

Abstract

In this work, an educational game called Packet Journey was developed, where its objective is to try to provide an abstraction of the journey made by a data package through the Internet. This work was developed focused on the network layer of the internet, where the player will perform his journey from jump to jump between routers, calculating the best routes for his trip whenever necessary, and traveling his way through the transmission cables, until then reach your final destination. It is hoped that this game will be able to bring some non-trivial concepts about communication networks to a diverse audience, in an interactive, fun and educational way, acting both as a good casual reasoning game, and as a gateway to a possible interest in know a little more about the functioning of something as present in our daily lives as the Internet.
