PROFILE
Benjamin Dobell
Worked on the godotengine/godot repository to enhance Android platform support, focusing on input handling and asset management. Delivered improved D-pad functionality for the Default Android Gamepad by adding keycode event support, which broadened compatibility with Bluetooth controllers. Addressed asset loading reliability by fixing access to .pck files via the assets:// URI scheme, ensuring smoother resource management on Android devices. Resolved a startup crash by validating the input singleton when a gamepad connects immediately after launch, reducing crash risk and improving user onboarding. Utilized C++ and Kotlin to implement these changes, demonstrating skills in Android development and platform-specific integration.
