Bruce Zou developed core gameplay and analytics systems for the UQcsse3200/2025-studio-2 repository, focusing on player interaction, movement, and statistics tracking. He implemented responsive input handling and animation logic in Java using LibGDX, enabling features like parkour movement, crouch mechanics, and death sequences with visual feedback. Bruce enhanced the statistics system with persistent storage, new metrics, and reset functionality, supporting data-driven insights and player-facing UI. His approach emphasized clean code, maintainability, and robust testing with Mockito, resulting in a codebase that supports rapid iteration, clear documentation, and reliable analytics for future development and quality assurance efforts.

October 2025 performance summary for UQcsse3200/2025-studio-2. Delivered substantial gameplay and analytics improvements with a focus on reliability, maintainability, and player feedback. Key work includes a major statistics system upgrade with new metrics, persistence, reset functionality, and robust tests; implementation of player death animations to enhance polish and clarity of failure states; and targeted code-quality improvements to the BossLevelGameArea to reduce maintenance cost. Strengthened test coverage and documentation underpin future iterations. Business value delivered includes more accurate analytics, better player experience, and faster, safer future development cycles.
