- Paul Anton Rae Aguilar: Game Programmer and Documentation

Actual Contributions:
• Animator Component
• UML Diagrams
• Engine Documentation
• Engine Demo

For this project, we were tasked to create an engine where we apply all the knowledge we learned in our game engine 1 course. My buddy and I decided to take this project to the next level to gauge our own expectations of ourselves.

Additionally, we were able to release the engine as an open-source one.

Animator Component

With a component-based engine, I was able to create an animator component which would allow the animation of the sprites being rendered in a scene.

UML Diagram

Aside from the actual engine, we were tasked to create different diagrams that would explain its contents. I was able to produce a Use-Case Diagram, Activity Diagram, and a Class Diagram.

Engine Documentation

Together with the diagrams, I was also tasked to maintain a document for the engine. It acted as some form of API documentation. It contains information on how to use the engine, future plans for further improvement, limitations, and the diagrams.
