TorqueGameEngines/Torque2D
May 2022 - Sep 2022
A completely free, open-source, 2D game engine built on proven torque technology.
Role in this project:
Backend Developer
Backend DeveloperContributions:4 releases, 2 reviews, 60 commits in 3 months
Contributions summary:Peter's contributions focused on resolving a relative positioning drift issue within the 2D game engine. The fix involved modifying the `GuiControl.cc`, `GuiControl.h`, and `guiControl_ScriptBinding.h` files to prevent rounding errors in repositioning calculations. They introduced mechanisms to store and reuse the initial relative position calculations, ensuring that controls maintain their positions accurately, especially after window resizing. These changes suggest a deep understanding of the engine's GUI system and its interaction with window management.
