2D Games “Go Flu Away” Influenza Education, Information and Awareness

Abstract

Influenza viruses are usually one each of the viruses that popular among us that even are called “the flu” and it's the communicable disease. There are four types of influenza but common influenza or famous influenza that always attack human is Influenza type A, type B, and type C. Studies were conducted to identify certain people that did not care and aware about the influenza and provide one interactive platform such as 2D games to give them education, information, and awareness about influenza virus. In this game, the AGILE model is used as a guide while manufacturing this game. This is the best method to provide the simplest method and easy step to follow to implement in this game. The step in this methodology is to plan, design, develop, test, release, and feedback. Based on the research, mostly youth generations are now less concerned to find out or to worry about the virus danger of influenza compare to other generations. So by developing this interactive game, the youth generation can discover and understand where the illness comes from and obtain more data or signs of influenza and how to avoid influenza virus by using attractive interfaces and content to attract young generations. Overall, this interactive game is very good to help people become more aware of this influenza virus, so people are not easily infected by the influenza virus. The results of the study that have been collected show that they are satisfied with it and successfully make this as an interactive game at the same time gain knowledge about the influenza virus. This interactive game will help people not easily get infected if users are using all the information and awareness implemented in this game
