Over three months, S4641740 developed and expanded core gameplay systems for the UQcsse3200/2025-studio-2 repository, focusing on robust state management and user experience. They engineered a pause system and a tabbed pause menu overlay, integrating input handling and UI development using Java and LibGDX. Their work included a cross-session collectable system with persistent storage and per-level tracking, ensuring collectables do not respawn once acquired and providing real-time HUD feedback. By leveraging component-based architecture and object-oriented programming, S4641740 delivered scalable, maintainable features that improved gameplay flow, data tracking, and user engagement without introducing new bugs during the period.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025 performance summary focused on delivering a cohesive, cross-session Collectable System for UQcsse3200/2025-studio-2, with per-level tracking, persistent storage, and UI integration. Implemented a robust foundation that prevents re-spawning of already-collected items and surfaces global stats to support user engagement analytics. Delivered level-by-level expansions that broaden gameplay interaction and tracking: - Level 1: added a new collectable item, updated visuals, spawn logic, and placed three collectables for level one. - Level 2: introduced Level 2 collectables, including a new 'lost hardware' item, added a collectables HUD display, and positioned three collectables at predetermined spots. - Level 3: introduced Level 3 collectables with a new spawn method and integrated Level Three content, plus cleanup of unused code from earlier levels. Overall, these changes unlock cross-session progress, improve user feedback through real-time HUD updates, and create a scalable foundation for future achievements, analytics, and retention improvements. Technologies/skills demonstrated include game-state management, local persistence, per-level progression tracking, and UI integration for real-time stats feedback.
