Signature Work Project Overview

My signature work is a team project to create a 2D RPG card game using Unity. In the report, I have showcased the design and implementation of the game’s map, which was the core of the game’s environment. I wrote custom code to add a variety of game features, such as collision detection, interaction systems, and data storage in the C# scripts, to make the game more engaging. As the programmer for our group, I was also responsible for the major code structure. I adopted the three-layers code structure of frontend, controller and backend, making the overall code readable and extendible. Apart from the implementation of the features, I was also in charge of the experiments of the random map generation process. I used three generators in game development and received different final outcomes.
I have also detailed the game design and implementation process, including the use of Unity tools and the specific code implementation. I have summarized and evaluated the game development process in our methods part and discuss potential future directions for expansion in the discussion part. I have provided insight into the process of designing and implementing a 2D game map, as well as the technical challenges and solutions I encountered along the way. In general, this report aims to explain 2D game map making process, to show the technical skills required to bring the features from concept to reality and to expatiate my contributions as the team programming leader to the establishment of the game.
