All graphics and animations were created by me. Through this project I became more familiar with C++ code writing, dynamic memory management using both raw and smart pointers, and learned the basics of graphics, input, audio, and physics in games and game engines. https://www.bennettjthomas.com/professional-work daily 0.75 2022-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f46bc622176772e47188a7/cf81e38a-9ece-4dbd-a995-5a9ee3587bb7/Legends_of_Runeterra_edited.png Professional Work - Legends of Runeterra Riot Games A strategy card game created in Unity Position: Software Engineer Intern for Path of Champions Work: As a Software Engineer on the Path of Champions team, I worked primarily on maintaining the game’s PvE system through bug fixes, as well as collaboration and planning of new features with other engineers.
