Abstract

The educational game Disease Extermination presents how the vaccines act in the organism and how they prevent viruses and bacteria from parasite in the human organism. The game is based on mechanical shooter game, whose game simulates as a scenario the human body internally and the player uses strategics to protect the organism against invaders represented by viruses or bacterias.
