JavaScript in the context of the domain of educational games

JavaScript je najpopularniji programski jezik u svijetu te je poznat po tome da se koristi u svrhu izrade mrežnih stranica. Sam JavaScript se koristi za puno više od toga te će se ovaj rad fokusirati na jednu zanimljivu stranu tog jezika, a to je uporaba JavaScripta za izradu igara u domeni edukacije. Edukativne igre postaju sve popularnije i sve više se koriste u nastavi, a CARNET predlaže odličan izbor edukativnih igara izrađenih s ciljem korištenja u nastavi za poboljšanje nastavnog procesa. Ovaj rad će na primjeru CARNETovih predloženih igara pokazati da li se JavaScript može koristiti za izradu svih elemenata edukativnih igara ili se ipak može koristiti samo za neke dijelove samih igara. Rad se fokusira na izradi tri vrste igara: kviz znanja, igra memorije i klizna slagalica.JavaScript is the most popular programming language in the world and is known for its usage in the making of web pages.
