Ferramenta de Educação em Segurança Digital: Um Jogo Interativo com Pygame

Abstract

This work aims to present the concepts and practices of security for safe internet browsing, using gamification as an educational tool. The increasing reliance on the internet exposes users to cyber risks such as scams, frauds, and attacks. In response to these challenges, an educational game was developed using the Pygame library to raise awareness about digital security in a playful and interactive manner. Gamification is used to promote active user participation, making it easier to understand essential practices for protection against online threats. The game aims to teach topics like identifying scams, preventing cyberattacks, and data security through simplified graphics and practical experiences. The applied methodology includes a practical approach where Pygame is used to create learning experiences that combine education and entertainment, as well as a literature review to support security and gamification concepts. Thus, this work seeks not only to introduce theoretical concepts of digital security but also to demonstrate how gamification can effectively change user behavior, making them more aware and prepared to deal with cyber risks. By leveraging interactivity, the game aims to empower users to adopt safe habits in the digital environment, contributing to the development of a stronger and more accessible digital security culture.
