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 and with such a favorable demographic split amongst sex and age, 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 mobile educational game from scratch. From graphic design to programing, from non existent to an actual functioning game. It describes the game engine design that has the potential to be expanded in the future.
