    IEEE
    The crossword puzzle board has many board variations based on the letters arranged on the board. The Steepest Ascent Hill Climbing algorithm is applied to determine the optimal shape of the crossword board. The initial successor is selected by the most number of characters, the next succcessor is selected from the second longest character until all the answers are selected, then in the final step is to calculate the fitness value to evaluate the answer board formed by calculating the answer junction and the number of questions that can be used on the answer board. Testing in this research is done by testing the same number of columns and rows by obtaining the amount of fitness value that is not too significant different, this explains that the crossword board can be made. This study also proves that the more rows and columns the less number of black boxes in the cross-answer board.

    Yoppy Sazaki, Anggina Primanita, and Muhammad Syahroyni

    IEEE
    The game of a racing car is one of the simulation games that requires Non-Playable Character (NPC) as the opponent's choice of play when a player wants to play alone. In a race car game, the NPC requires pathfinding to be able to walk on the track and avoid obstacles to reach the finish line. Pathfinding method used by NPC in this game is Al A∗ Algorithm to find the shortest path on path and combined with Dynamic Pathfinding Algorithm to avoid static or dynamic obstacles in track. The experimental results show that the combination of the two methods gives better results compared to Al A∗. The combination of both methods can be implemented well in racing car games with unobstructed track conditions as well as track conditions with static obstacles. While on the path with dynamic barriers, the combination of both methods successfully passes the track only under certain conditions.

    Yoppy Sazaki, Megah Mulya, and Mely Arisandi

    IEEE
    SMS (Short Message Service) is a messaging service in the mobile communication environment. In sending messages via SMS, message security is essential in order to maintain the integrity of the authenticity of the messages. Messages are secured not only in the aspect of confidentiality, but also on how the delivered message is not altered by someone. To overcome these problems, digital signature is required. Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) with Boolean Permutation (BP) is one of the algorithms used for the process of adding and verifying the digital signature on the message. ECDSA is a public key cryptographic algorithm that is suitable to be implemented on devices with limited resources such as, mobile device or mobile phone. This is because the keys of ECDSA have relatively smaller than other public key cryptographic algorithms. ECDSA and Boolean Permutation can be implemented on mobile devices based on Android, and be able to verify the authenticity and maintain the integrity of SMS sent with several characteristics, such as, SMS that contains of letters, numbers, emoticons with the length of SMS that can be authenticated is 4 SMS - long in one delivery process (long messages).
