Abstract

This work presents bitHERO, a boolean game developed with the purpose of assisting, in a playful way, the learning of digital circuits, prioritizing initially the teaching of logic gates. The motivations for the development of the game, the resources used for it, and the dynamics of the game implemented are presented. Proposals for improvement and expansion of the game are also shown.

Keywords: bitHERO, boolean game, digital circuits, logic gates, game dynamics
