Resumen
El uso de los videojuegos como herramienta educativa es limitado pues es difícil relacionar este medio de entretenimiento con el proceso de formación profesional de un alumno universitario. Este desconocimiento, junto a la necesidad imperante de hacer crecer la cantidad de interesados en cursar las carreras afines con Ciencia de la Computación, plantean un problema que tiene que ser zanjado de manera efectiva. El objetivo de este trabajo de diploma es definir de manera concisa el proceso de creación de un videojuego serio, caracterizar los principales juegos existentes en el campo y desarrollar el diseño de uno propio, que cumpla con los conocimientos que se desean transmitir a los estudiantes que deseen cursar carreras con estudios de programación. El diseño creado responde son su contenido, a las interrogantes que le pueden surgir a los jugadores, y se formuló una estrategia básica a seguir después en el futuro del proyecto.

The objective of this diploma work is to define in a concise manner, the process of creating a serious videogame, characterize the main existing games in the field and develop the design of one of our own, that fulfill the knowledge needed by the students, who want to pursue careers with programming in the curriculum. The design created responds to the content we aim and the questions players may have, and finally a basic strategy was formulated to be followed later in the future of the project.
