Abstract

The objectives of this research are: 1) to develop a game for learning C# programming language with Aria’s Adventure and Magic of C# game, and 2) to evaluate performance of the development of the proposed game. The project development tools consisted of Unity and Visual Studio Code. Data collection tool is game performance evaluation form. Research methodology can be classified into 5 steps: 1) problem and requirement analysis, 2) system design, 3) system development, 4) system testing, and 5) system evaluation by five purposively selected experts. The findings from this research are: 1) Aria’s Adventure and Magic of C# game works well to help programming for beginners; it was developed in the form of Game Method allowing learners to learn programming through playing games, strengthen systematic thinking of players, reduce stress, and get attention of learners, and 2) the efficiency of the proposed game evaluated by five experts is in highest level (X̅ = 4.71, S.D.=0.40). When applied to the sample group, it was found that the comprehension score increased from the mean score before learning. representing 40.92 %
