Multi-player Educational Video Game over Cloud to Stimulate Logical Reasoning of Children

This research is about how to create an educational video game whose main purpose is to stimulate logical and spatial reasoning of children. For this goal, we have applied an incremental methodology in order to be able to produce a Massive Multiplayer Online Game. With the intention of incorporating operations necessary for cognitive development and simultaneously to control the mechanics of the video game, we applied Artificial Intelligence, Intelligent Agents, and modern 3D technology approaches such as Unity 3D Game Engine and Photon Cloud. Validation of our solution has been performed by running several tests in public schools. The results demonstrate that this educational software stimulates the cognitive development of children.
