Designing Interactive Animations to Introduce Hindu-Buddhist Kingdoms in Indonesia for Students in Grades 1 to 6 at Al-Amal Islamic Elementary School in Bekasi

Abstract

The development of educational media has a significant impact on the field of education. In the 
learning process at SD Islam Al-Amal, the author has written a thesis on the design of an 
interactive animation about the history of Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms in Indonesia. This 
interactive animation was created using the waterfall method and the Action Script 3 
programming language. The interactive animation game features menus for learning, playing, 
and puzzles. This interactive animation game can be played by students using laptops or 
computers, making it easier for them to learn history in a fun and interactive way. It is hoped 
that this will enhance students' understanding and interest in national history, particularly the 
Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms of Indonesia.
