BMP3003 Game Design Project: Academic Integrity and Skills Development

This assignment presents a game design project created for the BMP3003 Further Academic Skills module. The project's objective is to design a game aimed at educating students about academic integrity and strategies for avoiding plagiarism and academic misconduct. The game involves three teams competing by answering questions of varying difficulty levels, with points awarded for correct answers and deducted for incorrect ones. The assignment includes detailed instructions for playing the game, an explanation of the significance of academic integrity, and a reflection on the skills used during the game design process, such as analysis, problem-solving, decision-making, and IT skills. The project also features a list of relevant academic references. The game's design emphasizes the importance of ethical conduct in academic work and its impact on students' careers and personal growth, highlighting the need for adherence to university rules and regulations.

Instructions for playing the game
BMP3003 Further Academic Skills
It is important for student to study and work in fair
way in University. Thus, they need to follow ethics and
maintain integrity in doing assignments. Also,
academic integrity need to be maintained as it helps
in student career and growth. Hence, university rules
and regulations needs to be followed by students. So,
if rules are not followed then it impact in negative way
on their career. The student is not able to copy work
of other people and do not work in unethical way.
Along with it, the integrity also help in daily life. This is
because it help in building new ideas and gaining of
knowledge. Moreover, they respect work of other
students and learn things in positive way. They are
able to work in trustworthy way and respect values of
others. By following it student is able to find out what
right path is and how knowledge is gained. Hence, it
helps student to prevent any misconduct of
knowledge and work that is being done.
An explanation of why academic
integrity at University is so important
Game Design Skills used to produce the game
Analysis skills- This skill was also used by me in design of game. Here, I
need to analyse that what rules are proper and structure of game. I
need to analyse what type of game can be designed to make
understand about plagiarism.
Problem solving- this skill was highly used by me as I need to solve
problem. As I faced a lot of problem during game design so I was able to
solve in effective way. With that it was easy for me to design game in
effective way.
Decision making- I took proper and effective decisions so that game is
designed in proper way. The decisions helped me to solve problem and
design game. In that I also learned entire decision making process and
how decision are analysed
IT skills- I used this skill as it helped me to connect game with IT. This
was easy for me to design game. Hence, I used several software and
applications as well for it.

• There will be 3 teams in which there are 3 players in it.
• A dice is rolled and which team gets 6 on dice will get
chance to select number on board. The number on
board will be 10. 20, 30 40 and 50. Besides, there will
be 25 blocks on board.
• The block will contain different questions
• In this difficulty level of question will arise with number.
It means that at number 10 difficulty level is low and at
number 50 it will be highest.
• The team who has got chance to play so member of
that team will read question loud to all other members.
Then members can answer that question. There will be
one question at a time.
• Here, for giving right answer of 10 number, 5 point is
added and for wrong 5 point is deducted.
• Similarly, for giving right answer of 20 number, 10 point
is added and for wrong 10 point is deducted
• Thus, for giving right answer of 30 number, 15 point is
added and for wrong 15 point is deducted
• Moreover, for giving right answer of 40 number, 20
point is added and for wrong 20 point is deducted.
• Furthermore, for giving right answer of 50 number, 25
point is added and for wrong 25 point is deducted.
• The time given to answer each question will be 30
seconds.
• The first team who scored 100 points will be declared as
winner.
