Worked on the IMBIT-Mannheim/pixels repository to enhance game state management and avatar customization features. Developed a centralized session state module using JavaScript and JSON serialization, replacing cookie-based persistence with localStorage to ensure reliable progress tracking and scoring across sessions. Addressed a spawnpoint selection bug to provide deterministic game starts and improved UI synchronization for score displays. In the following month, reorganized avatar assets into a dedicated directory, centralized sprite loading, and expanded the avatar shop to support male and female variations. These efforts improved maintainability, streamlined asset management, and established a scalable foundation for future frontend and game development.
May 2025 monthly summary for IMBIT-Mannheim/pixels. Key focus: asset organization, avatar system groundwork, and maintainability improvements. Avatar assets were reorganized into a dedicated avatars directory with centralized sprite loading and updated shop/inventory paths to support the new structure. The avatar shop was expanded to include male/female variations and a dog companion, with subsequent scope refinement removing the dog from the shop to align with product design. A Load Avatar Function was implemented to streamline rendering and reduce asset fetch complexity. These efforts establish a scalable asset architecture, improve development throughput, and set the foundation for future avatar features, delivering business value through reduced maintenance and richer user customization. Technologies demonstrated include asset management, modular function design, path restructuring, and version-controlled collaboration.

April 2025 for IMBIT-Mannheim/pixels focused on strengthening game state resilience and deterministic startup experiences. Delivered a centralized session state module with JSON-based persistence across sessions, enabling reliable progress tracking for dialogue paths and minigame scores. Replaced cookie-based persistence with sessionState, added session IDs, and implemented save/load capabilities; introduced totalScore and bestScore tracking with UI synchronization. Fixed a spawnpoint selection bug by removing an HTML select and defaulting to the first map, ensuring consistent starting conditions. Outcomes include improved user retention through resume capability, more accurate scoring, and a maintainable state management architecture.
