The article discusses the main aspects and methods of developing educational computer games. The authors stated that there are a large number of unsolved problems in the field of development of educational games and many questions arise related to models, methods and technologies of development of educational games, their evaluation and analysis, which require careful research and consideration when creating educational content. There is an increase in the popularity of online games in modern conditions of technological progress. The role and benefits of using online games in educational activities and their impact on increasing the motivation to study among students and improving performance are determined. The article provides key aspects of the methodology of developing educational games. Based on the analysis of successful educational games, a scheme of the concept of learning, game design, interactivity and adaptability of an online educational game has been developed. It is proposed to develop a conceptual model of learning based on the results of the analysis of a complex system and current assumptions. It is noted that at this stage the modeling tasks should be clarified, the procedures defined, and the schedule of the simulation experiment drawn up. The importance of carrying out a formal description of the modeling object, built on the development of algorithms for the behavior of the components of a complex system and their interaction, is noted. It is noted that the right choice of programming language is an important aspect of game development, as each language has its own characteristics and is used in different areas of game development. Some of the most common programming languages used to create games are considered and the possibilities of their application in the development of educational online games are analyzed. The idea of developing an online game, which contains adaptive systems that regulate the difficulty and pace of learning, providing assistance as needed, is put forward. The offered educational online game allows you to personalize training and shape the individual development trajectory of the student. It is noted that such a game creates a situation of success, which motivates participants, facilitates the exchange of experience in team games, etc.
