Hongda Tan developed advanced enemy and boss mechanics for the UQcsse3200/2025-studio-2 repository, focusing on drone AI, bomb deployment systems, and comprehensive boss behaviors. Over three months, he engineered features such as modular attack logic, animation pipelines, and robust event handling using Java, C++, and the Entity Component System. His work included integrating AI behavior trees, refining animation control, and implementing unit tests to ensure system reliability. By addressing both feature development and bug resolution, Hongda improved gameplay depth and stability, demonstrating a strong grasp of component-based architecture, performance optimization, and test-driven development within a collaborative game development environment.
