Over a two-month period, contributed to the Card-Forge/forge repository by delivering two user-facing features focused on enhancing usability and multiplayer experience. Developed a searchable preferences panel using Java and Swing, implementing a debounce mechanism to maintain responsive UI performance while allowing users to quickly locate configuration options. In the following month, improved the multiplayer chat system by introducing a MessageType enum and distinct UI styling to differentiate player and system messages, leveraging Java and front end development skills. These changes streamlined user interactions, improved discoverability, and laid a foundation for scalable multiplayer messaging without introducing new bugs during the period.
