The major goal of this paper is to design and implement an interesting learning platform for students. Game-based learning issues become hot topics in educational fields in recent years. By using game-based learning systems and applications, students can get higher motivation and performance of learning activities. In this paper, a system based on baseball game is developed for helping students to raise their learning motivations. In the proposed game-base learning baseball game platform, students can answer questions to get higher possibilities to win the game.
