This paper proposed a method which enabled the designing and implementation of a serious game based on AVR microcontroller on a virtual serial port before making the actual circuit by performing simulation, and which made it possible to develop a serious game. The implemented serious game implemented a mole game which can be enjoyed by one person, a love game with which a male gamer and a female gamer can play, and a marathon game in which a gamer can run the marathon while listening to cheerful music and looking at a region he/she wants to visit. The development of a microcontroller device that provides those functions showed that not only does the device make it possible to develop games more easily and conveniently through the implementation of a game using virtual serial communications with a board designed by an ISIS simulator, but also it reduces trials and errors during game development.

This paper proposes a cost-efficient and flexible FPGA-based logic circuit emulation platform. By improving the performance and adding more features, this new platform is an enhanced version of our LAPG. It consists of an FPGA-based hardware engine and software element to drive the emulation and monitor the results. It also provides an interactive verification environment which uses an efficient communication protocol through a bi-directional serial link between the host and the FPGA board. The experimental results show that this new approach saves $55%{\sim}99%$ of communication overhead compared with other methods. According to the test results, the new LAPG is more area efficient in complex circuits with many I/O ports.
