During the project I worked on multiple core features inside the engine, the most notable ones were:

• Adding multicast delegates to the engine to handle gameplay events.

• Adjusting existing ECS framework (entt) to handle messages and events to allow for pararell calculations

• Contributing to serialization system for robust and simple to use serialization of entities, components, levels and AI structures using existing library (cereal).

• Creating multiple gameplay tools and systems:

- Area tagging inside the level editor to allow for scripted gameplay areas with certain behaviors,

- Performant physics system utilizing optimization structures (BVH) handling collisions and collision events 

- Easily cusotmizable order system for RTS gameplay allowing to select units and dispatch orders with key bindings

From scratch I implemented a navigation system that allowed for performant pararelized path calculation on the grid for up to 5000 agents on arbitrary graphs, nav mesh and grids- the approach we used for the game Owlet was grid-based, yet switching to nav mesh was a matter of several simple adjustments. The navigation ran in pararell for each agent. Furthermore, the navigation had basic functionalities for path smoothing, as well as tracing the shortest path using the funnel algorithm.

Grid graph in engine, the level designers could easily edit the areas for navigation with tags and special interest points where the enemies could navigate to
