Contributed to the EanDodge/Software-Engineering-Delta repository by building and refining interactive boss encounters, sailing mechanics, and game progression systems over three months. Developed features such as multi-attack boss fights, wind-driven sailing, and randomized level transitions using JavaScript, HTML, and the Canvas API. Enhanced gameplay depth through physics-based movement, collision detection, and visual/audio polish, while improving user experience with integrated tutorials and streamlined Game Over flows. Addressed bugs affecting projectile collisions and boss identification, and balanced in-game economy and health systems. Applied object-oriented programming and test-driven development to deliver robust, maintainable code supporting player engagement and reliable game performance.

December 2024: Delivered a coordinated set of gameplay, UX, and balance improvements for EanDodge/Software-Engineering-Delta, driving stronger engagement and smoother gameplay. Key features include an interactive Sailing Tutorial with new physics assets and navigation, a Cortana boss fight with health bar and end-level progression, and expanded game progression with randomized level transitions. UX was improved with a more integrated Game Over flow, reducing perceived latency, and visual/audio polish was added across projectiles and bosses. Economic tuning and balance adjustments improved progression pacing and rewards. Fixed critical bugs to ensure correct boss identification and eliminate stray sailing autocorrect logic, stabilizing the core loop. Note: This month also included a refactor of boss fight visuals and mechanics, and the introduction of a local-coin reward model at game end to improve user retention and monetization signals.
