Kieran Knowles developed a robust multiplayer networking foundation for the kieranknowles1/csc8508-team-project repository, focusing on modular architecture and maintainability. Over three months, he delivered features such as ENet-based transport, a dedicated network testing module, and a user identity system, while refactoring core systems for stability and scalability. His work included implementing channel-based packet handling, thread-safe concurrency, and lobby management, using C++ and CMake to ensure reliable build processes and cross-platform support. By integrating modern memory management and serialization techniques, Kieran improved code readability, testability, and multiplayer synchronization, addressing both backend and gameplay requirements with depth and technical rigor.

Jan 1, 2025Month: 2025-01 — Delivered a more robust, modular network capability and strengthened the build system to support multiple build types. Key improvements include a dedicated Network Testing Module with its own test executable and updates to CMake to include the new module and link against it, enabling network code and tests to be built separately. These changes reduce integration risk, improve developer productivity, and enable faster verification of network features in CI. Overall, the month focused on improving build reliability, modular architecture, and testability with a clear business value in maintainability and faster feedback.
