Over two months, Chia-Ming Ju contributed to the CSIE-Challenge/Challenge2025 repository by building and refining core tower defense features and backend APIs. He developed user-facing tower upgrade and selling interfaces, improved tower placement logic, and separated UI from core logic to enhance maintainability. Using GDScript and Python, he expanded the API surface with endpoints for tower management, system paths, and analytics, while implementing input validation and caching for performance. His work included fixing serialization, pathfinding, and anti-air logic bugs, as well as optimizing code structure and documentation. These efforts established a robust, scalable foundation for future game development.

June 2025 highlights for CSIE-Challenge/Challenge2025: Delivered a user-facing Tower Upgrade, Sell UI and UI flow, reworked tower placement to reduce overlap, added a control scene, and refactored UI wiring by separating Tower UI from Tower logic. Improved UI layering and visibility to deliver a clean, responsive tower management experience. Fixed the firing mechanism to correctly reference bullet projectiles and resolved a null bullet scene by correcting the tower.tscn directory. Removed redundant scenes and tightened UI interactions (e.g., preview disabled when TowerUI is open). These changes improve player UX, reduce maintenance burden, and establish a solid foundation for future features.
