Worked on the gamedevlabs/pix-e repository to deliver advanced chart visualization and pathfinding features for game level planning. Developed a pacing analysis dashboard card and expanded PxChart to support bidirectional edges, enhancing both backend data models and frontend interactivity using Django, TypeScript, and Vue.js. Improved user interface controls and refined pathfinding algorithms to support bidirectionality, backtracking, and dynamic inventory management. Addressed complex bugs related to key and lock management, ensuring correctness and reliability in edge traversal. Focused on maintainability through codebase cleanup, improved logging, and per-node state tracking, resulting in a more robust and user-friendly development environment.
