Abstract
Gaming can be a very effective tool for learning. Game-based-learning has been studied as an important alternative or supplement to traditional teaching. With people using their mobile devices for gaming so often, the time to introduce mobile gaming as a learning tool may already be here. Mobile game can teach education materials in a more effective and interactive way. Mobile platforms can differ in terms of size, function, brand and operating system, hence to create a universal educational game engine for multiple mobile platforms is not an easy task. This project is aiming to create a game from scratch. It describes the game engine design that has the potential to be expanded in the future.
