Worked on the Cockatrice/Cockatrice repository, delivering nine features and five bug fixes over five months focused on game development, backend robustness, and UI improvements. Developed persistent local game options dialogs, enhanced card stacking layouts, and introduced real-time selection counters to improve user experience. Refactored C++ code for maintainability, modularized headers, and standardized documentation using Doxygen and Markdown. Addressed CI/CD reliability by resolving GCC build issues and implemented overflow-safe utilities for counters. Leveraged C++, Qt, and CMake to ensure scalable architecture, robust testing, and clear onboarding documentation, while consistently reducing UI glitches and improving gameplay reliability through targeted bug fixes and code reviews.

Jul 1, 2026Month: 2026-07 – Focused on stabilizing card stack behavior in Cockatrice/Cockatrice. Delivered a critical bug fix to the card stack positioning logic, ensuring correct handling of new versus reordered cards and that newly added cards are appended to the end of the stack. This reduces UI misalignment and improves game state consistency across stack transitions.

May 1, 2026May 2026 monthly summary focusing on business value and technical achievements for Cockatrice/Cockatrice. Delivered significant UI refinements, API hardening, and code quality improvements with CI stability gains. Key work spanned UI layout, backend robustness, and documentation standards. The work reduced UI glitches, improved feature reliability, and strengthened maintainability and test coverage. Key features and fixes delivered: - Vertical card stacking improvements: introduced a new shared layout engine (SelectZone/StackZone/HandZone) with clip container support and dynamic zone sizing. Cards now fit within zone bounds by default, with optional bottom overflow and sqrt-based compression for smooth visual transitions. This reduces layout glitches and improves user experience when cards are densely stacked. Key commits: 1a62f82aeed2086210c194442988b4e6e021f552; 81a2712b92eb1007195f17f524732ba808315a94. - Overflow handling safeguard: fixed card stacking overflow when zones contain many cards by compressing offsets and honoring allowBottomOverflow when appropriate. Commit: 81a2712b92eb1007195f17f524732ba808315a94. - Fedora GCC build issue fix: suppress -Werror=sfinae-incomplete for GCC 16+ to ensure Fedora 44 CI passes. Commit: 43bee2316e950f62cd1b07f63d25ba5ae57a9c64. - Counter API robustness: centralized server-side bounds with clamping, filtering of no-op events, and added tests to ensure correctness and prevent regressions. Commit: 8dca14933c24e91c9328c1df2cc7566dc8c8d2ea. - Code quality and documentation standardization: added braces to all control statements and standardized Doxygen docs to improve readability and maintainability. Commits: aadee342381ad4a7aea84ea1217e872956cd95ac; 33e0f8699b373d222a80d5403eacac7cbb73cf42. Overall impact and business value: - Reduced UI layout risk and improved user experience for dense card views, enabling safer usage in dashboards and workflows. - More reliable builds across CI environments (Fedora 44 with GCC 16+), lowering integration delays. - Stronger API safety with server-side bounds, leading to fewer edge-case inconsistencies and easier maintenance. - Improved code quality and documentation, accelerating onboarding and future feature work. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - C++ layout engine refactor and dynamic sizing strategies; clip containers; hover/scene invalidation handling. - Server-side input normalization, clamping, and idempotent event handling; robust testing. - CI stability improvements for GCC 16+ and Fedora environments; awareness of compiler warnings and portability considerations. - Code quality discipline: braces for all control statements; Doxygen documentation generation; clang-format readiness.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Delivered user-focused features and completed foundational refactors to improve stability, performance, and maintainability. Key features implemented include a Local Game Options Dialog with persistent settings integrated into the main window, enabling players to configure starting life total and player count with streamlined UX. Added a Drag-Selection Counters UI featuring an overlay during drag and a persistent bottom-right counter to provide real-time feedback on card selection. Substantial codebase maintenance reduced magic numbers, centralized constants, and enhanced build/test reliability through CMake improvements and shared templates. These changes reduce onboarding friction for new players, improve UI feedback during card interactions, and establish a scalable foundation for future feature work.
