Abstract

Game review often uses frameworks like E-GameFlow. These standalone frameworks do not cover the needs of the game design process. In this sense, this work aims to present an evaluation strategy of a Code Puzzle Game through a CodeBô game case, presenting ways of capturing data in this process, progress visualization, performance calculation and triangulation of quantitative and qualitative.
