Brian Lu developed modular player systems for the RJ-06/CouchPotatoes repository, focusing on maintainability and responsive gameplay. He refactored the player movement logic in Unity using C# by splitting it into distinct components for dashing and item usage, updating the Player prefab to support this modular structure. To enhance combat dynamics, he introduced a stun effect to the shockwave attack and implemented movement friction, resulting in tighter player control. Additionally, Brian created a MapSizeCheck.unity scene to validate map dimensions during development. His work emphasized object-oriented programming principles and improved the project’s testability, iteration speed, and overall code organization.

February 2025 performance summary for RJ-06/CouchPotatoes: Implemented modular Player System, refined combat feel, and expanded development tooling to improve maintainability, testability, and iteration speed. Key features include: splitting the player movement script into distinct components (PlayerDash and PlayerItems) and updating the Player prefab; adding stun to shockwave and movement friction for more responsive combat; introducing MapSizeCheck.unity to validate map dimensions during development. These changes reduce technical debt and deliver a tighter, more polished player experience, with traceable commits for each delivery.
