SEMICOLON: A Programming Game for C++ and Java. Capstone Project. Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. Cavite State University-CCAT Campus, Rosario, Cavite. May 2019. Adviser: Mr. Dann Patrick G. Ramos. The study was conducted from September 2018 to April 2019 to develop a computer-based application for freshmen students. The study aimed; 1) to guide the students in their first step in programming using the language C++ and Java, 2) explain every code in a form of every students will understand quickly, 3) conduct the research about the logical problems indicated in the game; 4) let the students discover their own interest in the first two programming language in their journey from ICT senior high to Information Technology or Computer Science student. The developers used the RAD model for the methodology. The requirements planning, user design, construction, and cutover were performed continuously until the application was developed for evaluation and implementation. The application was evaluated by 30 participants, composed of 5 game developers, 5 IT professionals, 5 gamers and 15 end-users "SEMICOLON" A programming game for C++ and Java gained a total score of 4.33/5.00 for game developers and IT professionals, 4.61/5.00 for the end users, suggesting an outstanding performance and characteristics ER -
