Abstract:Level design is one of the key components in determining the gameplay experience in 2D platformer games. However, manual level design is time-consuming and difficult to scale. Graph theory can be used to represent the abstract…
stract structure of a level, with nodes as spatial units and edges as paths connecting those spaces. The problem is that this graph structure cannot always be directly translated into a valid and playable physical layout due to platformer constraints, such as jump height, safe distance, and gravity. This research proposes a chunk-based transformation approach, in which each graph node is represented as a fixed-size level chunk containing a platform layout, obstacles, and entry and exit points. The transformation of the graph into a physical level is carried out through the selection, arrangement, and alignment of chunks based on the graph’s topology. This study aims to design a framework for transforming an abstract graph G=(V,E) into a chunk-based 2D platformer level layout. The method used is qualitative-descriptive, involving the formulation of a graph model, rules for mapping and arranging chunks, and playability criteria. The results of the study reveal three main stages: mapping vertices to corresponding chunks, arranging chunks according to the graph’s structure, and validating reachability using an automatic path-finding agent.

kaligus memetakan dinamika sosial-ekonomi komunitas nelayan lokal di Pulau Untung Jawa, Kepulauan Seribu, DKI Jakarta. Kondisi awal menunjukkan bahwa meskipun sektor pariwisata pulau sangat maju—meraih Juara 2 tingkat nasional dalam ajang Anugerah Desa Wisata Indonesia (ADWI)—sektor primer maritim justru mengalami stagnasi berat. Nelayan lokal menghadapi penurunan hasil tangkapan akibat sampah laut dan kendala cuaca musim angin barat, yang memicu ironi ketergantungan pasokan ikan dari daratan utama. Untuk mengatasi tantangan tersebut, tim menerapkan pendekatan pengabdian partisipatif selama tiga hari (5–7 Juli 2026). Pada hari pertama, dilakukan sesi fun learning interaktif melalui 3 jenis games edukatif dan pembagian Al-Qur'an di Pantai Sakura bersama 15 anak pesisir. Pada hari kedua, kegiatan dilanjutkan di TPQ Majelis Ta'lim Al-Ubadah dengan pembagian 16 mushaf Al-Qur'an. Selain itu, wawancara terstruktur dilakukan bersama Kelompok Nelayan Paguyuban untuk memetakan kendala operasional bahari. Program ini berhasil meningkatkan akses literasi keagamaan, memotivasi anak pesisir, serta menghasilkan evaluasi akademis terkait ketimpangan ekonomi wilayah pesisir.

Abstract:This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using a Smartboard in increasing students' enthusiasm for learning in the Pancasila Education subject in grade V of SDN 07 Mudiak Lawe, Sungai Pagu District, South Solok Regency.…
gency. From initial observations, it was seen that students' enthusiasm for learning tended to be low, as seen from their inactive attitudes, little interaction, and easily distracted when teachers used less diverse learning methods. To address this, a Smartboard was proposed as an innovative solution. This tool is an interactive whiteboard that uses multimedia and audiovisual technology, so it can combine teaching materials with images, videos, and animations to make learning more interesting and diverse. The method used in this study was the correlation method, namely a quantitative method that studies the relationship between the use of Smartboard interactive features and the level of student enthusiasm for learning. The results showed that the use of Smartboard in learning was proven to be able to increase student enthusiasm for learning. After implementing the Smartboard, students appeared more active and enthusiastic during the learning process, so that their enthusiasm for learning increased and reduced boredom. The implementation of Smartboard involves game-based learning methods such as Duck Race Games and Wordwall, which successfully trigger students' curiosity, focus, and enthusiasm, and encourage them to actively participate in answering questions and interacting in class.
Abstract: The ability to speak English is very important, especially for coastal communities such as those on Tegal Island, which has tourism potential. However, students at the Pesona Pulau Tegal Community Learning Center (PKBM)…
KBM) still have difficulty communicating, especially in English, because learning has tended to be conventional, focusing on memorization and grammar rather than practical communication. This creates a gap between the need for speaking skills and the teaching methods used, reinforcing students' fear and lack of confidence. Based on these issues, this Community Service activity aims to improve students' speaking skills through the application of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method integrated with the Playful English approach, which involves enjoyable learning through games, role-play, and creative activities. The methods used include guided speaking exercises, conversation simulations, and collaborative projects such as creating promotional posters for beach tourism in English. The results show a significant improvement in students' fluency, confidence, and active participation. Students began to speak more boldly, practice simple sentences, and express ideas spontaneously. The classroom atmosphere became livelier and more enjoyable with minimal psychological barriers such as fear of making mistakes. The implications of this activity are that the CLT approach combined with elements of joy can serve as an effective learning model in non-formal institutions. This method not only enhances language skills but also empowers students socially and emotionally, and can be replicated in similar communities.
