May 1, 2025May 2025 focused on reliability improvements and feature expansions in kolmafia/kolmafia, delivering richer scripting capabilities and stronger test coverage. Key features delivered include Afterimage support with enhanced buff/cast handling and an extensible tag/modifier system; expanded Fam Tag support across Grinder, Groose, Coffee Pixie, Cheshire Bat, and Old ITOMs; Hats integration in Hat Trick with hats parsed as modifiers; and targeted test additions for yearbook parsing (including yearbook photo and Haiku). Major bug fixes address parsing reliability (edge cases such as not blanking fire levels, correct letter bonus mode handling, and Mayam calendar LoL pullability) along with Thwaitgold name correction and updates to NoHookah/NotCRS effects and PHP random methods, plus mana burn manager testing. Impact: increased reliability of scripts, richer customization options for players, and broader test coverage driving maintainability and faster onboarding for new users. Demonstrated competencies include robust parsing, advanced tagging systems, test-driven development, feature-driven refactoring, and performance-conscious code paths." ,

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for kolmafia/kolmafia focusing on delivering value through aligned features, data tooling, and quality improvements while expanding game content. Key features delivered include: 1) TakerSpace feature: detection, items, ingredients parsing, and ascension-reset supply properties, with CREATE support and an ascension-warning for remaining ingredients to prevent waste. 2) Data dump initialization and decoding: initial dec item dump and subsequent dec item dump tooling to enable offline analysis and tests. 3) Advent calendar, sour stats, and photo booth items: starting items for Advent calendar, sour stats for Peaza/Peasco, and support for creating photo booth items. 4) Easter Island feature: added Easter Island content including log of deft pirate hook steal, plus Easter Island bunny and item skeletons. 5) Monster scaling: introduced default cap/floor scaling (10k, 10) for monsters, enabling predictable balancing. These core features were complemented by targeted quality and stability work across UI, parsing, and tests to improve reliability and developer experience. Major bugs fixed include fixes to detection and rendering across the UI and game data: - Choice adventure name detection fix; - Lounge/Shops HTML and styling adjustments; - Dwelling interior detection; - Leaflet quest issue; - December 2024 store data parsing; - Last combat actions not always recorded; - December 2024 style events; - Other parser and data edge-case fixes arising from ongoing content updates. These fixes improved data accuracy, user-facing UI consistency, and predictable test results. Overall impact and accomplishments: Built durable, content-rich updates that expand gameplay, improve data integrity, and raise the bar for test coverage and quality. The month delivered significant business value by enabling richer player experiences (Advent calendar, Christmas/Thanksgiving Island content), more robust data tooling for analysis, and stronger stability for day-to-day operations in CI. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Java/Kotlin code changes, data parsing and tooling, XPath tests coverage, test logging enhancements, and general code quality improvements (IntelliJ suggestions), all contributing to higher reliability and maintainability.
