デジタルゲームのRPA: Python プログラミング教材の開発

Abstract

RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is a mechanism that allows people to replace office work using software with computer programs instead of manual work. In this study, we apply this RPA concept to digital game play. The purpose of this paper is to propose a method of using the creation of a program for playing digital games as a teaching material for programming learning. The problem-solving methods and algorithms used in RPA programming can be greatly utilized as teaching materials for programming learning. As an example of teaching materials, we introduced digital games for RPA that can make full use of programming technologies such as character recognition, image processing, web scraping, and deep learning. Math questions and quizzes are used for regular programming exercises. In the teaching materials that this research aims at, these will replace RPA for digital games. In the ICT environment of recent years, programming of images and sounds frequently occurs, and there are many opportunities to use WebAPI and machine learning libraries. We think it is necessary to create new teaching materials in response to changes in the programming environment.
