Desenvolvimento de um jogo educacional para apoio ao autoestudo de candidatos à obtenção da carteira nacional de habilitação

Abstract

Traffic education in Brazil faces the ongoing challenge of modernizing its methodologies, especially in light of the flexibilization of theoretical instruction promoted by Resolution CONTRAN No. 1,020/2025, which allows courses to be conducted in the Distance Learning modality and further encourages the creation of creative self-study tools. Given the high rate of traffic accidents and the limitations of traditional static methods in retaining the attention of younger audiences, this work proposes the development of a desktop/web educational game, built using the Godot game engine, aimed at supporting and preparing candidates for obtaining a drivers license (CNH). Inspired by the engagement success of the Australian campaign game Dumb Ways to Die, the developed software adopts a punitive approach by using humor and a cartoon-style aesthetic to illustrate the consequences of traffic violations and the lack of defensive driving. By integrating official questions from the National Question Bank with interactive trial-and-error mechanics, the game seeks to transform the reinforcement of theoretical content into a fun and visual learning experience. Throughout the development of this work, the analysis, design, implementation, and testing of the proposed software are presented. As a conclusion, the developed software and its functionalities are discussed, along with topics addressing possible future work.
