Abstract;In this paper, we consider some factors affecting the level of difficulty in a learning-assistance game "DoNow," which is designed to focus the learner's attention on the role of radicals in kanji characters. In the past, we differentiated "characteristics of radicals" from "characteristics of arrangements of radicals," and stressed that both aspects are important in controlling the level of difficulty in "DoNow". This paper reports an experiment examined that "number of companions of radicals" and "structure of arrangements of radicals" adjusting the level of difficulty in the game. (author abst.)
