Contributed to the UQcsse3200/2025-studio-2 game project by designing and refining AI-driven enemy behaviors, implementing features such as cooldown systems, security-light-triggered chases, and wave-based boss drone spawning. Leveraged Java and the LibGDX framework within an entity-component-system architecture to enhance gameplay balance, stability, and maintainability. Addressed startup and explosion-related bugs by improving component management and scene initialization, while expanding unit test coverage and documentation to support rapid iteration. Refactored core systems for clarity and reliability, including BossSpawner and EnemyFactory, and optimized event handling and state transitions to reduce crash risk and improve the player experience throughout development.
In Oct 2025, delivered substantial improvements to the UQcsse3200/2025-studio-2 project with a focus on gameplay balance, stability, and test coverage. Key work includes a BossSpawner overhaul with wave-based boss drone spawning triggered by player proximity, the addition of a boss self-destruct drone type, and comprehensive unit tests for trigger activation, spawning limits, and reset behavior; LevelOneGameArea initialization on startup to streamline the game area lifecycle; laser shower timing balance to optimize pacing; plus broad code quality improvements like EnemyFactory test enhancements and general cleanup. Fixed critical drone explosion stability by ensuring proper component removal, physics disabling, and full entity unregistration; refactored DeathOnTrapComponent to reuse explosion logic and cleaned up self-destruct sequences to prevent crashes. Overall, these changes reduce crash risk, improve player experience, and strengthen testability and maintainability, enabling faster iterations on gameplay tuning.
