Over three months, contributed to UQcsse3200/2025-studio-2 by developing core gameplay features such as responsive dash mechanics, physics tuning, and a persistent leaderboard system. Focused on improving player movement and input handling, the work included refining gravity parameters and implementing cross-platform controls using Java and JSON. Enhanced animation systems and state management to support smooth transitions and reliable gameplay feedback. Addressed stability by resolving merge conflicts, cleaning up debug artifacts, and expanding unit test coverage. Centralized configuration management and data persistence were introduced to streamline future development, resulting in a more maintainable codebase and improved player experience.
Concise monthly summary for 2025-10 focused on delivering a stable Leaderboard experience and strengthening test coverage across the UQcsse3200/2025-studio-2 project. Highlights include a complete Leaderboard page with crash fixes and data display from the JSON source, centralized configuration management for leaderboard assets, and expanded testing utilities and unit tests to improve reliability and release readiness.

Month: 2025-08 — Performance/Delivery summary for UQcsse3200/2025-studio-2. Focused on physics realism, responsive mobility, and stabilization of input controls to improve player experience and development velocity. Key features delivered: - Gravity Physics Update: Tuned gravity by setting GRAVITY to -10 in PhysicsEngine, resulting in more natural object movement and a smoother physics simulation. Commit: 20b3797959ba3e32eaa4413977811200cc1308f3 (Added light gravity to the game). - Player Mobility Core: Dash and Adrenaline Mechanics: Introduced dash on Shift key with input support for keyboard and touch; refined speed behavior and control flow. Commits include a2fa8118deff30a24ea3e8587df50247da404044 (Dash implemented on shift key press), cbac893e9517e943aae5f4de45af080599add701 (Fixed most toggling issues when not moving), 61cf41c94c3670c5fcd421ef89bcb80bd12b74bd (Removed unnecessary stopDashing function), cc0b942afc4e49ad66e669400a5eff9146292bb4 (Fixed stash merge conflicts when pulling latest changes and applying dash logic). - Stability and Input Handling Cleanup for Mobility: Stabilized player controls by resolving merge conflicts and removing extraneous debug logging related to input handling and adrenaline toggling. Commits include 6e2ce4bf356d467f8c64b7408ede9bd5a6a9f9a5 (Once again fixed stash merge conflicts when pulling latest changes and applying dash logic), 83cbd84b0d8c7ad306eb6e44584304ac3cc27edf (Fixed merge conflicts to avoid breaking Player when committing), 70bf74f360500a499329d867d34cd5e985cafc6b (Removed debug print statements), b23751353940b225d22eeae242e6ea206914a79c (Removed debug print statements). Major bugs fixed: - Stability of mobility controls: Resolved merge conflicts and cleaned up input handling to prevent control instability and unintended adrenaline toggling. - Elimination of noisy debugging: Removed extraneous debug logs to streamline runtime behavior and reduce noise during playtesting. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Delivered a more responsive and reliable movement system with cross-input support, improving player experience and reducing iteration time for future mobility features. - Stabilized core controls that underpin upcoming features and reduced risk of regressions from subsequent merges. - Improved physics realism with a straightforward gravity tweak that enhances gameplay feel without requiring major rewrites. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Physics tuning and physics engine integration (GRAVITY parameter, -10). - Audio/Gameplay loop-independent movement mechanics (dash/adrenaline), including input abstraction for keyboard and touch. - Merge conflict resolution, code cleanup, and removal of debugging artifacts to stabilize builds. - Clear traceability of changes through commit history and feature-level descriptions.
