I. Introduction
The development of science and technology is increasing rapidly, and it can be felt around us directly or indirectly. These developments are having an impact on all aspects of human life. One type of development in science and technology is developed in the game world [1]. Game is one of the uses of technology that is very much in demand by parents, young people, and children who are just having fun and filling boredom time. Still, with current technological advances, various games have been created for pleasure purposes and can be used as learning media to improve the quality of education [2].
Educational games are one example of learning media through games. Educational games apply a direct learning system with learning by making a pattern. The learning process can be done through challenges and theoretical questions in the game. Players will be required to carry out the learning process independently from the pattern applied by educational games. In its presentation, educational games can use a type of Role Playing Game (RPG) that will guide players to explore information to enrich their knowledge while playing actively [3].
Role Playing Game (RPG) is a role-playing game that has elements of complex storytelling and acting that makes a person feel like he is the character he is playing in the game. This game can develop characters from scratch and go on an adventure to the goal [4]..

Playing games is one of the activities in great demand by the elderly, young, and children, whose use is generally only to fill spare time, get rid of boredom, and for fun. Therefore in this final project, an educational game based on Role Playing Game will be developed, which is helpful for learning by applying ten- finger typing education because, until now, learning has only been done through books. Delphi 7 is used in its manufacture. The Delphi language is a programming language that can be configured in such a way that it can work with other devices to form a control system-and apply the Finite State Machine method to process the gameplay control flow, which consists of 3 levels where the player will complete the answers for each class to be able to proceed to the next level. The results of this game can be used as learning media for children, and they can learn while playing to add knowledge in the field of typing. With these benefits, it is hoped that later games can be developed and applied among students. A game uses electronics and is entertainment in the form of multimedia that is made as attractive as possible so that players can get something that there is new satisfaction. In the Big Indonesian Dictionary, an online game is used to play goods or something that is played. The growth of the game industry is developing, especially in various types of games which include Maze Games, Board Games, Card Games, Battle Card Games, Quiz Games, Puzzle Games, Shooting Games, First Person Shooting (FPS), Side Scrolling Games, Fighting Game, Racing Game, Simulation, Strategy Game, Role Playing Game (RPG), Adventure Game, Sports Game, and Edutainment Game.

II. Methods
Before the analysis process is carried out, the researcher first conducts the data collection process.
This process can be defined as a method used to obtain the data needed as input and consideration for researchers
A. Literature Study
At this stage, the author seeks and summarizes any literature that can support the work of this thesis. Among them is the search for information on how to make games using RPGs, game learning, and other information that is still within the scope of the problem of this thesis.
B. Game design and development
At this stage, the details of the application are prepared, which include the following:
• Game concept planning and game development material requirements.
• Development of applications according to existing scenarios.
The game development process is carried out using the Delphi 7 application.
C. Trial and Evaluation
At this stage, trials and evaluations will be carried out on the applications that have been made by testing several game mission completion processes that have been arranged.
D. Browse the Internet
Data collection by accessing the internet related to completing this final project..
III. Result and Discussion
Here will be explained scheme along with the explanation when playing the game.
Fig. 1. System Scheme
From the above scheme, it can be explained that the game workflow is the first step to starting the game, and the actor walks towards the actor or partner to communicate and answer questions. The correct answer will proceed to the next stage, and for the wrong answer, the system will repeat the state in designing an educational game application based on this Role Playing Game. It takes several activities are used to process system input in the game.

1. Material: Typing 10 Fingers.
2. Game Description: This game includes educational games or educational games. The type taken in this game is an adventure game with a Finite State Machine process flow. Players are played as single players (single players).
3. The game consists of 3 levels. Each level has five educational questions.

No Yes
Fig. 4. Figure 5. FSM flow Image explanation:
The user starts the game and walks, looking for a partner to communicate with and answer the partner's questions. Then the system will process the answer provided that the correct answer will proceed to the next state or question and, if wrong, repeat the first state/question.
Finite State Machine (FSM) Process
In this game, the FSM process runs by getting the true and false rules. When the condition is actual, a further state or follow-up question will be displayed, and apart from the correct answer, it will repeat the state/question.
The following is a game design diagram with FSM:

From the FSM diagram above, it can be written into the transition table as follows:
Table 3. Transmission FSM Game
Table explanation:
1. P1 is question 1: if question 1 can be answered correctly, then the next state is question 2, and if question 1 is answered with an incorrect answer, it will return to question 1.
2. P2 is question 2: if question 2 can be answered correctly, then the next state is question 3, and if question 2 cannot be answered correctly, it will return to question 1. P3 is question 3: if question 3 can be answered correctly, then the next state is question 4, and if question 3 cannot be answered correctly, it will return to question 1.
3. P4 is question 4: if question 4 can be answered correctly, then the next state is question 5, and if question 4 cannot be answered correctly, it will return to question 1.
4. P5 is question 5: if question 5 can be answered correctly, then the next state is the next level, and if question 5 cannot be answered correctly, it will return to question 1.
5. NL is the next level.
The game display is with the page where the game is being played. Complete the missions and levels in the game until the game is at final stage of the game is finished. The player faces a partner to answer each educational question, where the player gives the correct answer to be able to continue to the next state and, with the wrong answer given, will return to the initial state at that level.
IV. Conclusion
From the results of the program, several conclusions can be drawn as follows:
1. The existence of educational games can provide learning media for children to be able to learn while playing.
2. With ten-finger typing knowledge material delivered in the game, it can help children to develop knowledge and improve skills in typing.
3. In this game, questions are inserted the user must answer that to measure knowledge of the 10- finger typing skill..
