Learn2Play: An AI-Integrated Educational Ecosystem For Game Development Students

- The rapid growth of the global game development industry has created an increasing demand for skilled professionals with both technical and creative expertise. Traditional teaching approaches often fail to provide the interactive and practical experiences required for mastering game development skills. This paper introduces Learn2Play, an Android-based educational ecosystem designed specifically for students learning game development. The platform integrates Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Realtime Database to deliver a secure and scalable learning environment. Learn2Play includes multiple modules such as AI-powered learning assistance, gamified learning activities, video lectures, assignment management, and real-time progress analytics. The system is developed using Java and XML while following Material Design 3 design principles to ensure usability and consistency. Security features such as Firebase App Check and session management through Shared Preferences are incorporated to ensure reliable access and user data protection. Results from pilot deployment involving 120 students indicate increased engagement, improved learning outcomes, and higher assignment completion rates compared with traditional teaching methods. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of mobile-first learning systems combined with artificial intelligence for technical education.
