Abstract

An educational game for learning gravity theory is developed on iOS technology, called Drop Donuts. The goal of this game is to feed a monster on the island at the bottom of the screen by dropping donuts. While the wind speed and direction keeps changing all the time, a donut is dropped. Flowing leaves will be a hint to the players in the determination of the wind direction and speed. This will affect to the donut in following away. This game is developed using a tool called GameSalad. The result is an edutainment game which provides both fun and physics concept. Furthermore, the wind simulation is implemented and deployed onto iPhone or iPad devices. ฉ 2011 IEEE.
