Yorick Aban developed the foundational gameplay engine for the Paradigms-Class-Project repository, focusing on integrating Phaser to establish a state-driven rendering flow and asset pipeline. He implemented the initial game configuration in JavaScript, preloading spritesheets and defining animations for soldier, archer, and cavalry units. The rendering logic was structured to update unit displays dynamically based on the evolving game state, providing a scalable base for future gameplay features. Yorick’s work demonstrated solid frontend and game development skills, delivering a well-architected engine skeleton that enables rapid expansion. The depth of the integration reflects a thoughtful approach to modular and maintainable code.
