Recent researches showed that computer game authoring is able to help students to acquire mathematics and science knowledge in the classroom. The researchers believe that this method is able to apply for the other subject matters. The subject matter that the researchers focused in this paper is history learning.
THE THEORETICAL VALUE 0F THE WORK
One of the most important characteristic of a game is represented by its theoretical value. However, to find out the theoretical value of a game is time expensive and it is almost impossible to establish it in complex games. Therefore, we propose three different methods to predict the outcome of the game under ideal play. Such methods use information concerning diminishing return, winning rate changing, and score difference obtained by self-play experiments. We apply these methods to some games and we discuss the validity of every single method.
