Abstract :
Since the release of the Windows phone [1] in 2010, the mobile phone industry has the opportunity to develop new and diverse applications on this platform. The iPhone [2] is one of the market leaders of smartphones; there are over 350,000 applications available for download. Although the Windows Phone is released much later than the iPhone, there are lots of opportunities to develop new and interesting game applications. Educational games [3] are a category of games that have been specifically designed to teach people about a certain subject, expand concepts, reinforce development, understand a historical event or culture, or assist them in learning a skill as they play. in this paper, we introduce the development of an education game using the C# language and XNA on a Windows Phone platform that teaches people the basic of driving on roads.
