Benjamin Ong developed foundational graphics and audio systems for the chillingspace/PAIN repository, focusing on cross-platform compatibility and modular architecture. He implemented a rendering layer in C++ and OpenGL, introducing a Windows-specific renderer to ensure consistent initialization and rendering across platforms. His work included setting up shaders, vertex buffers, and rendering a basic colored triangle, as well as integrating an audio system for background music and footstep sounds. By validating the pipeline with initial scene setup and resource management, Benjamin established a robust base for future game development. The work demonstrated depth in graphics programming, shader development, and audio integration.

September 2025 highlights: Implemented a cross-platform rendering layer with a Windows-specific renderer to ensure correct initialization and platform parity, introducing a RendererLayer with shader setup, vertex buffers (VBO/VAO), and a basic colored triangle; refactored to conditionally use WindowsRenderer on Windows. Added an audio system with initialization and playback for background music and footstep sounds, including asset loading and cleanup of graphics resources (VAOs/VBOs). The work includes initial object positioning (cube and camera) to validate rendering and audio pipelines.
