It is a requirement of the Education Supervision Committee of the State Council of China to conduct safety education on bullying prevention for primary and middle school students. Combining a large amount of knowledge about school bullying in psychology, the author developed an online anti-bullying serious game, which adopted the latest technology of Internet web game engine (Html5, Javascript, Egret, etc.), artificial intelligence speech synthesis technology, image processing technology, the mechanism, dynamics and aesthetic framework of game design. The author used the JSON data format to define and organize the data structure and loosely coupled the game’s program logic and storyline, making the game easy to expand and more flexible. The author also designed the multi-scenario, multi-option, and multi-user game system architecture, which enables the game to serve the schools and educational institutions nationally. This paper describes the critical knowledge and technology of game development and points out a feasible technical route for developing relevant serious games at home and abroad. At the same time, it expounds on the author’s experience in the game development process and how to apply serious games in anti-bullying education widely.
