During two months on Afronomical/CoolGuyHazardShooter, Alex Moreland developed a scalable enemy system in C++ using object-oriented programming and physics simulation. He introduced a base enemy class with shared attributes and extended it for specific behaviors like walking and jumping, consolidating logic to streamline future feature additions. Alex implemented collision detection groundwork between players and enemies, laying the foundation for richer gameplay interactions. He enhanced the JumpingEnemy with easing-based movement and refined jump mechanics, resolving initialization crashes and improving balance. His work reduced future maintenance by centralizing enemy logic and enabled more rapid iteration, demonstrating depth in both design and implementation.
