Ferramentas de desenvolvimento de jogos - uma comparação entre AppsGeyser e App Inventor MIT

Abstract

In the current scenario, teachers struggle for the attention of students with the various digital media available. The internet provides a great diversity of resources, involving different means and technologies, leading the student to the autonomous construction of knowledge. This work aims to survey websites that allow teachers to develop applications for the Android operating system in order to facilitate the learning of students in schools and provide the acquisition of knowledge in a playful way. The requirements used to define the search were applications without programming and financial resources, compatible with Android and allowing the creation of educational games. In this way, the work presents the AppsGeyser tool and the App Inventor MIT tool, which, although using block programming, allows the development of an easy way of games. In addition, other tools that partially meet the criteria are displayed and can be used depending on the availability of teachers.
