Jacob Welch developed a series of interactive game features and system enhancements for the EanDodge/Software-Engineering-Delta repository over three months, focusing on gameplay depth and user experience. He engineered complex boss encounters, including multi-attack mechanics and dynamic health states, and introduced physics-driven sailing systems with wind-based movement. Using JavaScript, HTML, and the Canvas API, Jacob implemented collision detection, asset integration, and test-driven development to ensure reliability. His work included UX improvements such as integrated game over flows and economic balance adjustments, while also addressing critical bugs and refactoring core mechanics, demonstrating a thorough and iterative approach to front-end game development.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024: Delivered a coordinated set of gameplay, UX, and balance improvements for EanDodge/Software-Engineering-Delta, driving stronger engagement and smoother gameplay. Key features include an interactive Sailing Tutorial with new physics assets and navigation, a Cortana boss fight with health bar and end-level progression, and expanded game progression with randomized level transitions. UX was improved with a more integrated Game Over flow, reducing perceived latency, and visual/audio polish was added across projectiles and bosses. Economic tuning and balance adjustments improved progression pacing and rewards. Fixed critical bugs to ensure correct boss identification and eliminate stray sailing autocorrect logic, stabilizing the core loop. Note: This month also included a refactor of boss fight visuals and mechanics, and the introduction of a local-coin reward model at game end to improve user retention and monetization signals.
