Abstract
In recent years, there has been growing interest in 3D educational games. This is due to the confidence that 3D environment can offer several learning benefits to learners. Specially, 3D educational games focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI) are needed today. In particular, problem representation by state-space approach is seen as an important part of problems solving for learners. So, developing 3D educational games which enhance learners’ motivation for the AI subject is the main issue of this work. In this context, this paper presents a 3D educational game for higher education. This new game is called Bridge Crossing Game and it allows learners to benefit from the 3D environment to solve Bridge Crossing Problem in an amusing story.
