Abdiel Cotto developed core multiplayer game features for the uprm-inso4117-2024-2025-s2/semester-project-briscas repository, focusing on backend systems and robust game logic. Over three months, Abdiel implemented a Final Score Management System to centralize scoring, designed and tested the core Briscas game mechanics, and enhanced the GameState model to support four-player sessions with reconnection handling. Using JavaScript, Node.js, and Socket.IO, Abdiel applied asynchronous programming and object-oriented design to ensure reliable gameplay, maintainable code, and smooth multiplayer experiences. The work demonstrated depth in backend development, thorough unit testing, and clear documentation, supporting scalable and resilient game infrastructure.

In April 2025, delivered 4-player game support with reconnection handling by enhancing the GameState model and refactoring the socket server to manage disconnected players and their states, enabling reconnection and improving robustness. Commit 82f1f55cecd3cae3bbcf2f0988e2645091eda464 (Finished sub issue#299).
