Balancing AI and Cheat Menu

Part 1: The Challenge

The recent phase of development has been dedicated to the task of refining the behaviors and attributes of both regular enemy AI and the formidable Boss AI. This week's focus extended beyond code, delving into the numbers and parameters that define each AI's capabilities. With precision and careful consideration, I aimed to strike the right balance that would ensure challenging yet rewarding encounters for players.

Part 2: The Fine-Tuning Process

Parameters such as bullet velocity, damage inflicted, and health points underwent tweaking to create a better gameplay experience. These adjustments required a keen understanding of the game's mechanics, player feedback, and the desired level of challenge.

In addition to the technical fine-tuning, I  introduced some cheat menu functionality into the game. This feature serves as a tool for both testing and amusement. It grants the ability to reveal all AI states at once, offering a unique behind-the-scenes glimpse into the AI's decision-making processes.
