Contributed to UQcsse3200/2025-studio-3 by developing and enhancing interactive UI components for game levels and end-of-game experiences. Built the LevelPopupDisplay system to present dynamic level information triggered by player interactions, integrating data-driven content updates and robust input handling using Java and component-based architecture. Expanded the user experience with improved popup visuals, new UI assets, and clear guidance, while implementing a comprehensive Game Over flow with event-driven state management and menu navigation. Emphasized maintainability through detailed documentation, code refactoring, and extensive unit testing, ensuring reliable gameplay flow and laying groundwork for future feature expansion within the entity-component system.
September 2025 monthly performance summary for UQcsse3200/2025-studio-3. Delivered two major features with a strong focus on UX, reliability, and test coverage. Level Popup Display Enhancements expanded user guidance and visuals, with a resized popup for readability, new UI skin/assets, and tests validating spriteData behavior and default states; public exposure of setLevelTitle() and setLevelDescription() to support testability. Game Over Flow and Menu Cutscene Control implemented a robust end-of-game experience, including a GameOverWindow component, an associated GameOverEntityFactory, and event-driven checks to trigger game over; added ability to return to the main menu and fine-grained control over cutscene playback (manual vs auto). Fixed a game-over condition bug by adjusting the trigger to activate at -1 tiles, preventing premature termination. Expanded test coverage and refactoring to improve maintainability, including LevelPopupDisplayBasicTest and related test updates. Outcomes: clearer end-to-end UX for players, reduced regression risk, and a foundation for future enhancements. Technologies/skills demonstrated: component-based UI design, event-driven architecture, entity-component-system adjustments, test-driven development, and thorough commit hygiene across UI, gameplay flow, and testing.

August 2025 monthly summary for UQcsse3200/2025-studio-3: Implemented LevelPopupDisplay-driven level popups triggered by player-tree collisions, with dynamic level titles and descriptions and robust input handling. Integrated popup activation with ObstacleFactory and established data-driven content updates. Fixed closing flow and expanded constructor support for UI components. Improved maintainability through in-code comments and preparation for future activation logic, delivering contextual level information at moment-of-interaction and enabling faster content updates.
