Developed core gameplay systems and cross-platform infrastructure for the caitlynjin/sweet-sweet-betrayal repository, delivering 35 features and resolving 19 bugs over four months. Focused on C++ and networking, the work included implementing dynamic moving platforms, a robust scoreboard with persistent scoring, and a networked multiplayer architecture. Enhanced user experience through UI development, animation systems, and event-driven controls, while maintaining code quality with modular refactoring and repository hygiene. Integrated physics engine features and asset management to support scalable, maintainable game logic. The technical approach emphasized clean architecture, reliable state management, and seamless synchronization across local and networked sessions for consistent gameplay.
May 2025 – Summary of delivered features, fixes, and impact for caitlynjin/sweet-sweet-betrayal. Delivered a UI-focused scoreboard overhaul with assets, textures, and UI refinements; stabilized scoreboard behavior by fixing restart handling and unrelated bugs; expanded gameplay with local mushroom logic, scaling changes, and networked mushroom, plus a targeted mushroom animation fix. Implemented timer-based gameplay with a working give-up control and a countdown mechanism. Strengthened core systems by reintroducing an event, improving illegal area handling, adding bomb check functionality, managing Jessie-network animation state, and performing general bug fixes. Result: improved player experience, more reliable gameplay across local and networked sessions, and better maintainability for future iterations. Technologies demonstrated include UI design/assets, networking synchronization, animation state management, event-driven systems, time-based controls, and code maintenance.

April 2025 performance summary for caitlynjin/sweet-sweet-betrayal: Delivered the Scorecontroller core with complete integration to MovePhaseController, including debugging enhancements and stability improvements. Finalized the in-game scoreboard with an overlay, per-player updates, and supporting UI assets, delivering a polished user experience. Implemented robust score persistence with a unique UID and saved scoretype, ensuring reliable scoring data across sessions. Enhanced gameplay visuals and UI: initialized core elements (bar and sugar glider), added dots visuals, updated countdown behavior, and refreshed UI updates. Introduced a mushroom animation system with ownership logic and multiple animation states (death, glide), and improved moving platform behavior with reposition enhancements. Server/UI updates enabled partial updates and reduced visual noise, contributing to better performance and scalability. These outcomes deliver tangible business value through richer UX, data integrity, and a stronger foundation for round-wide features.
