Recursion is an important and powerful computational problem-solving tool.
However, many students find it difficult to understand and challenging to utilize.
A game based on recursion was developed to aid in the teaching of recursion through
visual coding, stack simulation and visual simulation.
7 unique maze levels give a gamified experience and incentive to progress through the game.
A visual simulation for math-type questions was developed that can be used for any mathematical-type question.
Visual UI makes use of a drag and drop mechanic for an easy coding experience.
The role of the call stack is clearly visualized at each recursive step.
