Abstract
School lessons can be uninteresting and even dull. Subjects like maths, physics or chemistry are on top of the list, and one topic that often hard to grasp is the projectile motion lesson. Gamification is seen as one of the concepts where learning can be much more engaging. Using Unity 3D, we were able to develop gamification of the projectile motion lesson. By transforming it into an Angry Birds look alike, the learning process is experienced in this turn-based game become much more enjoyable. Instead of pointing where to shoot, students are asked to calculate the velocity by taking the given value such as angle and distance. The game can be played alone, as in practice mode, or two players as in versus mode or even two groups which is very applicable in a class (i.e. Group 1 vs Group 2) and since it uses real physics equation, the application able to show a realistic simulation of the projectile motion path.

Highlights
Nowadays technology advancement is moving very quickly, including its role in various fields including non-technology related, such as in agriculture, health as well as in education
It is undeniable that the quality of learning activities conducted at a school is one of the most critical factors that affect the quality of the school [1]
When we inquire about the reasons why high school students are having trouble studying physics, we will consider various kinds of explanations
Summary
Nowadays technology advancement is moving very quickly, including its role in various fields including non-technology related, such as in agriculture, health as well as in education. When we inquire about the reasons why high school students are having trouble studying physics, we will consider various kinds of explanations. One of the important topics is the parabolic motion or often called parabolic projectile motion [4]. The parabolic motion is a mixture velocity on X-axis and on the Y-axis [5] When students study this principle, they usually will not rely on a parabolic acceleration testing apparatus as it is rarely available at schools; instead, they would rely on printed images or video lesson. This may make the experience of learning very monotonous or dull [6]
