Mark Xiong developed core features for the procrastination-simulator repository, focusing on scalable UI architecture and interactive user feedback. Over two months, he established a component-based React front end, integrating AI-driven daily and weekly summaries via Groq API and implementing a real-time calendar time indicator with gameplay rendering. Mark enhanced user engagement by adding audio feedback, including typing and clock-ticking sounds, and refactored the DeathScreen for dynamic messaging. His work emphasized maintainable code through linting and state management, leveraging JavaScript, CSS, and API integration. The result was a robust, extensible foundation that improved time-tracking clarity and user experience.
