Worked on the Constellations repository over two months, delivering five features and resolving one bug with a focus on 3D graphics and game engine development. Enhanced the sprite system by consolidating orientation handling and optimizing the particle emitter, which improved both performance and maintainability. Advanced animation realism through point-cloud-based skeletal animation and introduced a new UI text rendering pipeline, leveraging C++ and HLSL for real-time graphics and shader programming. Addressed input stability by refining cursor visibility tied to window activity and implemented release build scaffolding to streamline packaging. The work demonstrated strong skills in DirectX, object-oriented programming, and software architecture.
March 2026 monthly summary: Delivered core feature set, stabilized input behavior, and advanced build readiness for Constellations. Achievements include point-cloud skinning enhancements for skeletal animation, a new TextLabel/UI text rendering pipeline, and window-activity-based cursor visibility improvements. A rollback corrected cursor locking issues to preserve gameplay stability, and release build scaffolding was added to streamline packaging and distribution. Overall impact: improved animation realism, clearer UI, and faster, more reliable releases. Technologies demonstrated: real-time skinning with point clouds and shader updates; UI rendering pipelines and text handling; windowing/input management; and build-system automation.
