Adam Alex developed core gameplay mechanics for the Afronomical/CoolGuyHazardShooter repository, focusing on player movement and physics simulation using C++ and object-oriented programming. He engineered a dedicated Player1 class supporting left/right movement and jumping, integrating it into the game’s initialization process. To address physics instability, Adam replaced an AddForce-based jump with a timer-controlled, gravity-based vertical movement system, ensuring deterministic player behavior and easier debugging. His work established a scalable foundation for future combat and physics features, enabling faster iteration cycles and more reliable testing. Throughout the two-month period, Adam demonstrated depth in gameplay programming and physics engine integration.

December 2024 monthly work summary for Afronomical/CoolGuyHazardShooter focused on delivering a reliable, testable vertical movement mechanic and laying groundwork for future polish. The team introduced a temporary gravity-based jump system to replace AddForce with a timer-controlled vertical movement, keeping the player grounded at a target Y and enabling basic vertical mobility. This provides deterministic behavior, reduces physics instability, and accelerates iteration toward a polished jump experience.
