Overview
Project Description
I collaborated on a team of five to implement a Plants vs. Zombies-style clone using a custom engine using C++ and JSON. My main focus was the UI layer and making it communicate cleanly with gameplay systems.

Plants vs. Zombies Clone
A C++ PvZ clone built using a custom game engine, focused on UI integration, grid interaction, and clean gameplay feedback.
Technical Block
Technical Focus
- Integrated the UI system with the graphics service and gameplay grid
- Built interaction between the Plant Selection Toolbar and grid system using two-way binding
- Created shovel UI and interaction logic so players could remove plants from slots
- Worked in a short production timeline with clear feature ownership

Code Snippet
// Example two-way binding idea
OnPlantSelected(plantType)

grid.SetPlacementPreview(plantType)
OnGridSlotClicked(slot)
if toolbar.HasSelectedPlant():
grid.PlacePlant(slot, toolbar.SelectedPlant)Description Block
What This Block Explains
This is a good page to add UI screenshots, toolbar states, grid interaction diagrams, and code snippets that show how UI events drive gameplay behavior.
