This can be implemented by asking the players the question of Rentap after each battle to receive the battle rewards. The storyline of the application also been loosely followed the Rentap facts and instead more humorous and light-hearted so that the players will has a more satisfying game experience. The application is then will be tested to a group of Form 2 student.
