Managed gameplay events and synced the coroutines that the gameplay logic was running on with the third-party application that the hardware (lights, rumble engines, and speakers) operated from.
-
Created and managed an HTTP server that was responsible for communicating with a third-party application to drive gameplay states, display information to the users, and record user data.

Managed a series of programs that drove gameplay behaviors while also creating an interface that operators could quickly and easily understand and explain to others if necessary.

Provided remote live support for the initial launch of the project while also ensuring that the staff members were able to operate the attraction easily and consistently without any issues.
