Jan worked on the curiouslearning/FeedTheMonsterJS repository, delivering three core features and resolving five bugs over three months. He implemented DeltaTime-based animation smoothing using JavaScript and TypeScript to ensure consistent visuals across devices, refactored frame-rate normalization for maintainability, and integrated Rive-driven audio tied to animation events for synchronized sound effects. Jan also improved service worker caching for reliable offline performance and reorganized code for better readability. His modular refactoring separated input, UI, and game flow logic, while targeted bug fixes enhanced gameplay reliability and user experience. The work demonstrated depth in animation handling, event-driven programming, and performance optimization.

December 2025 monthly summary for curiouslearning/FeedTheMonsterJS: Implemented Rive-driven audio and reliability improvements for monster evolution and jar progression, with new SFX synchronized to animation states and stronger offline/cache behavior. Key outcomes include moving SFX to the Rive asset, introducing a singleton AudioPlayer, and wiring SFX to Rive events to reduce overlaps and ensure synchronized playback. Service worker caching was hardened with automatic sw.js updates to guarantee latest assets load offline. Codebase hygiene improved via a naming convention fix renaming jarprogression to JarProgression. These changes deliver a richer, more reliable player experience, fewer audio glitches, and a cleaner foundation for future gameplay enhancements.

Month 2025-09 — Delivered cross-device animation stability for Treasure Stones in curiouslearning/FeedTheMonsterJS. Implemented DeltaTime-based smoothing to ensure consistent animation speed across devices with differing refresh rates, refactoring frame-rate normalization into a dedicated fpsNormalizer variable and adding an explicit deltaTime datatype to improve readability and maintainability. Fixed the timing bug associated with FTM-689, stabilizing visuals across displays (referenced in #1818). These efforts improved user experience by reducing visual glitches, enhanced performance perception, and set a solid foundation for future device-targeted optimizations. Demonstrated solid JS animation techniques, delta-time math, and clean refactoring practices.
