Development of a gamified programming learning support using trading card game style that focuses on narrative mode of thought

Abstract

Computer programming learning has still been difficult in some cases. This difficulty can be depending on a leaner, not only language. As a method to support learning programming language for person being not good at programming skills, Trading Card Game (TCG) style is considered as a tool with narrative mode of thought expresser. Then, we have been thought TCG style may be helpful for understanding computer programming. As a result, a prototype of programming support system for Arduino in TCG like style is developed and demonstrated. This system allows to invoke Arduino development environment and compile the source-code generated by TCG like style and load it an Arduino hardware.
