Joel Torres developed core UI systems for the uprm-inso4117-2024-2025-s2/semester-project-briscas repository, focusing on a dynamic, responsive card game interface. He engineered a JavaScript VisualElements class to render game components such as scoreboards and card displays, ensuring accessibility and scalability. Joel implemented the playable card game UI, integrating TypeScript and React to handle card logic, player interactions, and basic AI, while aligning frontend and backend surfaces for integration. He also introduced visual regression testing using JavaScript to validate rendering consistency and layout integrity, enhancing UI reliability. His work demonstrated depth in frontend architecture and automated quality assurance.

April 2025: Delivered visual regression testing for the Briscas project to improve UI stability and release confidence. Focused on preventing visual regressions when cards are played by validating rendering, layout integrity, and spacing.

March 2025 — Uprm (briscas) project: Delivered an end-to-end Playable Card Game UI with AI and Testing. Implemented draw/discard piles, card rendering, player hands, trump handling, and basic AI; established core card logic, UI interactions, and unit tests to validate rendering, input validation, and game flow. Achieved backend integration readiness through frontend-backend alignment. Resolved merge conflicts on the gameboard, performed code cleanup (removed unused code), and completed gameboard tests to improve stability and reliability.

February 2025 monthly summary for uprm-inso4117-2024-2025-s2/semester-project-briscas: Delivered a Dynamic Game UI Rendering System to support a responsive, user-facing UI within the game container. Implemented a VisualElements JavaScript class to render UI components (scoreboard, turn indicator, and card display area) and to render individual cards as images with proper sources and alt text. This work establishes a scalable foundation for future UI enhancements and improves the in-game user experience.
