METHODOLOGY

       For the methodology that we use, we are using Garris et al for the games, motivation and learning on propose of input process output model for learning from game. The input component is consists of instructional content and game characteristic while process consist of game cycle. The game cycle are described as user behavior, system feedback, and user judgment. In the output, it consists of learning outcome to the user. By using this concept, the game cycle can be manipulated as iterative, which involve repeated judgment-behavior-feedback loops. With this game cycle, it can built and lead the player interest, enjoyment, involvement, and confidence in the content of the game.

CONCLUSION

       As a conclusion, it is not easy to develop games consist of others needs and interact people to play and buy our product. To get a better product, we have to learn from the beginning and doing some research for game. This game is specially developed to educate the youngsters to help develop their mind especially in creative or memories side. When they play the game, it will help their brain work very fast and easy to solve any problem. This game also is easy and simple to play in their age.
