Mobile learning is one of the most convenient approaches in e-learning as it is accessible from virtually anywhere. This paper describes our experience in designing and implementing a framework for a mobile learning application that can assist students in understanding history lesson using role-playing game (RPG) approach. The implementation is based on the narrative of a Malaysian legendary warrior, Merong Mahawangsa. This application was developed on an iOS platform and a crowd simulation technique was used in the application in order to make it more interactive and realistic. The Dijkstra shortest path algorithm was used to search the shortest path for the avatar to move around. Initial investigations suggest that applying the RPG concept has indeed provided a much better learning environment especially in helping students in learning their history lessons.
