This is a gameplay video of Pythory (a portmanteau of "python" and "story"), a novel learning game concept that combines an interactive visual novel and learning content on basic programming concepts (input, output, repetition, decisions, math/logic). The game contents are structured using Kolb's experiential learning cycle (concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation) to improve motivation and learning achievement. Pythory uses text, graphics, animations and sound (music, voice actor) to enrich the learning experience. The goal is to provide a fun and gentle way for non-computer scientists to explore the basic elements of programming before they study the topic in depth.
Pythory was created by Joochan Kim at Ajou University in 2017.
