Ming Shi developed core multiplayer and battle systems for the Monash-FIT3170/2025W1-Beastly-Brawl-Showdown repository, focusing on both backend infrastructure and frontend user experience. Over five months, Ming implemented features such as room creation, authentication-first onboarding, and a modular battle UI, using TypeScript, React, and Node.js. The work included migrating off Meteor, refactoring project structure, and integrating real-time communication with Socket.IO. Ming addressed technical debt through code cleanup, stricter typing, and asset management, while also improving gameplay flow and UI/UX. The engineering approach emphasized maintainability, incremental delivery, and robust state management, resulting in a stable, extensible codebase.

May 2025 delivered a focused set of business-value features and reliability improvements to accelerate onboarding and gameplay delivery, while strengthening code quality for future iterations. Highlights include authentication-first onboarding (login UI, default launch to the login page, and client-side routing with React Router DOM), the initial Battle Screen UI with modular rendering, and gameplay polish such as the ability button and roll animation. Visual updates and guest-name UX were implemented to improve onboarding for new players. In addition, substantial code quality work (TypeScript migration, import fixes, cleanup, and inline documentation) reduces risk and paves the way for rapid future feature delivery.
