Summary:碩士 === 國立新竹教育大學 === 應用數學系碩士班 === 95 === Traveling is a very popular recreational activity. We can see beautiful scenes, experience different cultures and increase our knowledge during traveling. Limited by time, money and foreign language ability, not many people can fulfill the dream of traveling around the world. In this study, we used computer network, database and animation technologies to develop an interesting online game called “Traveling around the world in 180 days” to provide people with virtual tours by traveling through the Internet. In this game, players can see beautiful scenes and increase historical, geographical and cultural knowledge in different countries as well as English ability. They have to make a detailed plan and obtain information about places to visit, and book their flights and hotels in advance. They also need to manage their time, money and health to achieve the goal of traveling around the world in fixed time period while accumulating enough knowledge and experiences to become a winner in the contest. The online game also possesses the function of e-learning, and it can be used as an assistant tool in social science and English education to enhance the interest and learning effects of students.
