Following a series of successful mobile games and a hit at the Box Office, some of the brains behind the popular Angry Birds franchise have flung themselves at a new challenge: to make learning games fun again.
They were previously a consultant and a lead game designer, respectively, with Rovio Entertainment ? the makers of Angry Birds.
That a 10-year-old comes away from playing the game knowing such deep physics is the power of games to affect stealth learning.
For a mobile game to be used effectively in learning, it needs to be designed with unique affordances and constraints of the platform, according to Klopfer.
The company`s first mobile game is `Big Bang Legends` where players use a particle collider to blast antimatter monsters, collect quarks that are needed to form protons and neutrons, and build atoms of different elements.
