Pinata Go-Go

Game developed for 1x2 Network as a solo project. Incorporated new features, such as:

• Trail pot feature - enabled any number of pots to collect any configured symbol from the board, using GSAP timelines to manage spine animations and the sequence of events. Accounted for many different scenarios which could be configured, such as wanting to wait on the completion of different combinations of the stages within the feature (collecting, upgrading, resetting), before allowing the player to spin and potentially trigger the feature again. Dealt with potential timeline interferences if stages were not waited on.
• Custom Trail Feature - used to throw a timeline of trails from any position or symbol position, with each trail in the timeline being conditionally added based on configured values from the response and different combinations of conditions.

Config Search

Search tool created for 1x2 Network in spare time. Written using NextJS, Tailwind, and TypeScript. Fetched data for all games from a database, and downloaded each game's compiled configuration files to extract the JavaScript code. Neatly presented the games as icons that, when clicked, would open a controllable window containing a syntax highlighted view of the game's configuration. Game listings could be filtered using an input at the top of the page.
