There has been a revolutionary growth and advancement in the area of online game, though the history of online games is shorter than that of the other genre. Among the elements consisting of a game, the character customizing system has advanced poorly when compared with the other elements of a game system. The poor computer graphics technology hindered the emergence of a good quality of a character customizing system. However the need of users for the rich facial expressions together with the rapid advancement of the computer graphic technology have driven the customizing system to provide a high degree of freedom to the extent that items for the face assembly could generate new profits. This paper analyzed the Aion Customizing System based on the art of physiognomy where the facial features of people are studied and analyzed, in order to make various personalized characters to the extent of increased freedom. According to our design, the more sophisticated and complex and subtle character customization system can be devised following the proposed design.

본 논문에서는 XNA Framework 기반의 모바일 게임 History Adventure를 설계하고 구현한다. 이 모바일 게임은 영웅별 3개의 스테이지 구성되어 있으며 각 단계별로 각 나라를 대표를 하는 영웅들과 전쟁의 발발 원인에 대한 퀴즈 풀이를 진행한다. 이때 정답을 선택하면 HP를 공급하고 실패하면 정답을 알려줌으로써 게임과 학습을 함께 할 수 있다. 영웅들이 적을 격파하지 못하고 적선이 통과를 하게 된다면 HP(Hit Point)는 감소하고, 적선을 격퇴하면 난이도가 높은 스테이지로 이동한다. 게임중에 일정 점수를 획득하면 보너스 코인과 HP를 지급한다. 지급받은 코인 및 HP는 현재 스테이지를 수행하고 다음 스테이지로 이동해도 유효하다. 적의 보스를 처리할시 실제 전쟁의 결과를 알려주면서 다음 단계로 이동한다.
