Spartan Touchdown

The problem

The point wasn’t the game; it was building something non-trivial in C++ that a team could extend without stepping on each other — clean inheritance, clear ownership, tested behavior.

Approach

• Architected gameplay with an object-oriented design (polymorphic entities, level loading from data files) so new content didn’t mean new bugs.
• Wrote unit tests with GoogleTest around game logic and kept the build reproducible with CMake.
• Documented the codebase with Doxygen and worked the project in an Agile/Scrum cadence with a 4-person team.

Impact

• Demonstrates C++ fundamentals: memory ownership, polymorphism, and testing under a real OOP design.
• Team delivery with version control discipline and generated documentation.
