Aligned Play Framework (APF)
The Aligned Play Framework (APF) is a design framework I built for creating educational games — grounded in one principle: every game mechanic must also be a learning mechanism. It exists to fix the failure most educational games share: fun that doesn't teach, or teaching that doesn't engage.

Free · no signup · a ready Gemini Canvas prompt in ~2 minutes
A framework and free prompt generator that turns a learning objective into a playable game where the fun and the learning are the same thing — not bolted together.
- Walks designers through a five-layer framework — AIM → BIND → BUILD → DRIVE → CHECK — so learning happens through gameplay, not beside it.
- Generates ready-to-paste prompts for Gemini Canvas: no signup, a playable single-file game in about two minutes.
- Grounded in established models — Bloom's Taxonomy, MDA, Octalysis, LM-GM, and PICRAT/ICAP.
- Supports Thai-language instruction with English target content.
