Abstract

As one of the trends of future education development, educational games provide teachers with a new teaching means. In the actual teaching, it stimulates students' learning motivation, helps students to learn knowledge and improve their ability. Designing an educational game requires requirements analysis, art, programming, and so on, but one of the most critical elements is the design of the game script. At present, due to the lack of systematic and complete educational game script as a tool to assist the design of educational games, many educational games have a variety of problems. Based on the game framework model and the related instructional design theory, this paper proposes two principles of script design, and further gives the corresponding model diagram of game elements and instructional design and the design strategy of educational game script. The educational game script designed by this model and strategy is put into use in the course of Educational Game Design and Development, which verifies this model to a certain extent.
