Abstract Cooking is the process of preparing food from its raw state until it is ready to be served, using heat to make it easier for the body to digest.
However, nowadays, many teenagers lack an understanding of how to cook due to limited practice and a tendency to buy food from outside, which is considered more convenient.
High levels of activity outside the home also contribute to the decreasing frequency of cooking among teenagers.
Additionally, the convenience offered by food delivery applications, coupled with various attractive promotions, further contributes to the decline in interest in cooking.
To address this issue, an educational single-player game application based on Android was developed, utilizing Unity 3D as the game engine and Blender for 3D object modeling.
This application is designed to provide a more detailed cooking experience by offering 11 recipes that users can learn.
Moreover, there is a mini-game in the form of a quiz to test users' understanding of the cooking process.
Testing results show that this application successfully increased users' interest in learning to cook by 80.

Single Player Game Abstrak Memasak merupakan proses pengolahan bahan makanan dari kondisi mentah hingga siap disajikan, dengan penerapan suhu yang membuat makanan lebih mudah dicerna oleh tubuh.
Namun, pada masa kini, banyak remaja yang kurang memahami cara memasak, dikarenakan minimnya praktik serta kecenderungan untuk membeli makanan di luar yang dianggap lebih praktis.
Tingginya aktivitas di luar rumah juga berperan dalam menurunnya frekuensi memasak di kalangan remaja.
Selain itu, kemudahan yang ditawarkan oleh aplikasi pesan antar makanan, ditambah dengan berbagai promo menarik, turut berkontribusi dalam penurunan minat memasak.
Untuk mengatasi permasalahan ini, dikembangkan sebuah aplikasi game edukatif single player berbasis Android yang memanfaatkan teknologi melalui Unity 3D sebagai game engine dan Blender untuk pemodelan objek 3D.
Aplikasi ini dirancang untuk memberikan pengalaman memasak yang lebih mendetail, dengan menyediakan 11 menu masakan yang dapat dipelajari.
Selain itu, terdapat mini game berbentuk kuis untuk menguji pemahaman pengguna terhadap proses memasak.
Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi ini mampu meningkatkan minat belajar memasak pada pengguna hingga 80,3%.

Game Single Player PENGEMBANGAN GAME SINGLE PLAYER AuCOOKING CHAOSAy BERBASIS ANDROID Introduction Cooking is the process of preparing food from its raw state to a ready-to-serve condition, where heat application is used to make the food easier for the body to digest .
Meanwhile, according to Sihite, cooking is the process of applying heat to food ingredients to transform them into tastier, more digestible food and to kill germs .
Nowadays, many teenagers do not know how to cook due to a lack of practice and the tendency to buy food outside, which is more convenient.
The busy lives of teenagers, who are active in various sectors and have high engagements outside the home, make cooking a less frequent activity .
The rapid development of the culinary industry is driven by the culture and attitude of society, where people are getting used to consuming food and drinks outside the home.
This phenomenon is worsened by the current lifestyle, where the tendency to purchase food, both offline and online, is increasing, supported by attractive promotions provided by food delivery apps .
Additionally, the availability of food delivery services contributes to the decline in teenagers' interest in cooking.
According to research conducted by Populix, involving 3,138 respondents from Generation Z .
ged 11-.
and Millennials .
ged 27-.
, 57% reported buying food more frequently than cooking themselves .
Teenagers who are not taught to be independent from an early age may lack the time to practice essential life skills, even though adolescence is a period of rapid physical and mental development.
If this development is not nurtured positively, these teenagers may not acquire essential life skills.
Therefore, a medium that can help teenagers train their life skills, particularly in cooking, is necessary.
The selection of a target audience aged 12 and above is based on the importance of adolescence, as stated by psychology expert Elizabeth B.
Hurlock in the journal by Adikoesoemo et al.
, 2018 .
Based on the problems outlined, there is a need for a medium that can serve as a solution, namely by developing a cooking game for teenagers.
Thus, a game with a culinary theme called Cooking Chaos was created.
The content of Cooking Chaos provides information on basic cooking techniques, the introduction of ingredients, how to process them, and time management.
Research Methodology The development process of the game Cooking Chaos adapts the Game Development Life Cycle (GDLC) method, which is a game development method that prioritizes the interactive aspect.
GDLC consists of six development phases, starting from the initiation or concept creation phase, followed by pre-production, production, testing, beta testing, and release .
The GDLC stages can be seen in Figure 1.

Aulia Wahida Hilmi During the initiation process, several concepts were developed for the Cooking Chaos game, including the adapted menu items, target users, application scope, and system goals.
The next stage was pre-production, which involved creating the game prototype and core gameplay.
To support the creation of the game prototype, data was collected during the pre-production stage through interviews, observation, and literature The interview data collection technique was conducted by distributing preliminary research to 31 students at SMP Pesantren Nurul Falah to identify various elements needed to design the Cooking Chaos game.
The observation stage involved directly examining several previous games with similar themes.
Furthermore, a literature review was conducted, which is a method of obtaining information by using journal sources or scientific articles that must align with the issues and objectives being In the process of developing the core gameplay, a use case diagram was required to illustrate the scope of the system under discussion and how the system interacts with subsystems and external systems .
In the Cooking Chaos game application, this diagram highlights key features such as Play.

Cooking Chaos Use Case Diagram The production stage is the core process following pre-production, where assets and source code are created.
The next step is testing, which is used to evaluate the functionality of the Cooking Chaos game application that has been developed.
This stage employs Equivalence Partitioning, a black box testing method, to ensure that users will not encounter any errors while using the system .
Beta testing is conducted after the initial testing phase, involving direct user testing through several testers.
If the testers find any deficiencies in the application, it will be sent back to the pre-production stage for further processing.

Cooking Chaos will be officially released to users.
