Abstract

The concept of game is one of the oldest concepts in
the life of the human being. People have always used the concept of game in
their lives in order to have fun and to relax. But over the past forty years,
traditional games have begun to change platforms and games have evolved from
traditional to digital. In this context, a significant development has been
seen as a process of digital game development in personal computers, palm
electronic devices and mobile phones. Although it is seen as one of the most important
problems in today's world, we should use digital games in order to reach
positive results. In this study, a study has been done to determine the
professional tendencies of computer games and primary school children. This
research was extracted from the MSc Thesis and prepared for evaluation
purposes.
