This presentation discusses a computer based game called Fruits and Vegetables Picture Matching which is an educational game. It’s designed for young children to help improve their concentration through fun matching activities. When a child starts the game, the main screen, as it is shown below, will appear containing five different levels of matching boards as 2x4, 3x4, 4x4, 5x4, and 6x4. Each board will have collection of fruits and vegetables pictures and the user has to match up all of the pairs in order to finish the level. After the kid finishes each level, a congratulate screen will appear to reward them, and give them valuable information about fruits and vegetables as a prize to help kids like eating healthy food. The player can choose any level from the main screen, so s/he doesn’t have to start sequentially. Each time the player matches a pair of tiles, they are eliminated from the grid until it’s cleared. If the pair didn’t match, they will return to the initial state. The collection of fruits and vegetables sorted on each board is randomly scattered. The game is free time and free score, so the child can focus on matching pictures. The game runs on MS-Windows platform and it developed using Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express.
