Abstract / Excerpt:

There had been numerous web applications everywhere in the web today. One of these is the game application which rapidly grows and innovates every day. Games come in different types such as puzzles, arcade, board and word games, and many more. These game applications do not always offer educational benefits but banishes boredom of people of different ages.

The purpose of this study is to create a game application that will offer educational benefits such as increase in vocabulary and improvement in spelling. This study aims to develop a recreational game application applicable to people no matter what age, skill level, and experience. Specifically, this research aims to implement an inverse boggle word search game using adjacency matrix as its data structure in plotting the words into the grid. Adjacency matrix is a means of identifying which vertices of a graph are adjacent to other vertices. The application makes use of WampServer that manages Apache and MySQL services. Apache is a freely available and accessible through the web. While MySQL is a database system used on the web which allows the creation of relational database structure in order to store data or automate procedures.

The development of the web-based game application is implemented on Windows Operating System using Adobe Flash Builder 4. The graphic user interface of the application is created through Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended.
