Niels Tunnebrink developed core gameplay systems and a robust 2D rendering pipeline for the lonkaars/crepe repository, focusing on maintainability and runtime stability. He implemented features such as a scheduler-driven gameplay loop, missile and zapper integration, and a preview scene, while scaffolding boss fight logic and camera controls to gate progression. Using C++ and SDL2, Niels improved animation systems with delta-time handling, enhanced asset and resource management, and consolidated APIs for texture and UI rendering. His work included extensive code refactoring, formatting, and documentation, resulting in a stable, testable codebase that supports future features and improves developer productivity.
