Lack of high quality software is the most serious problem of
today''s computer-assistedlearning (CAL). In this paper we
propose a framework for constructing game-oriented CAL systems.
The framework adopts object-oriented techniques to facilitate
construction of a CAL system from objects. This framework has
two main parts: a simulation engine and subject-specific object
libraries. CAL developers can write scripts to compose objects
to form a CAL. The simulation engine is used to execute the
script. The framework provides a game-oriented surface but
incorporate knowledge in objects. In this thesis we also
introduces a physics object library for classical mechanics to
investigate the applicability of the framework.
