Abstract

Despite Malaysia's rich biodiversity and healthy food culture, most Malaysians eat fewer vegetables than recommended by the World Health Organization and Malaysia Dietary Guidelines. Game-based learning has the potential to change this by making vegetable consumption more interesting through engaging multimedia tools such as text, audio, picture or animation. This project aims to create a fun and educational game to teach people about the health benefits of ulam, increasing their interest and daily intake of vegetables. We chose the agile methodology for its ability to meet clear game design standards and adapt to user needs, making it ideal for small projects. Agile ensures accuracy in processes and storytelling while saving time and resources by allowing for adjustments during the design phase and effectively managing any issues that come up. The expected result obtained the user to able acknowledge the 5 wellknown accessible ulam in Malaysia and its health benefits of the ulam by conducting pre-test and post-test evaluation to measure their knowledge before and after they play the game.
