About the Project
Fruit Frenzy was created as part of a group assignment project for my University course and was my first experience working within a team (of more than 2) environment.
I joined the team a little over a week late, and was tasked with creating the wave spawning system and the hardpoints, as well as a class to manage individual areas around the map. I also worked with the technical designer to help refactor their blueprints. Furthermore, I supported the group with any source control (GitHub) issues, to make the development process easier.
I plan on using this project to further develop my skills in Unreal Engine.

What I learned
- Managing / Supporting a team with GitHub. When I first joined the team, source control was not being used as no one on the team had used it before. I helped everyone with creating GitHub accounts and taught them the basics for using GitHub. I also made sure to help each member with any issues they had with GitHub.
- Creating and Refactoring Blueprints in Unreal Engine. As I had joined the team late, the technical designer in the group had already implemented blueprints for the core mechanics of the game. I had never worked with blueprints before, so I worked with the Technical Designer to gain an understanding of blueprints so that I could refactor the existing ones, and to also translate some into C++ when I had spare time in between new tasks.
