The Last Penguin: Yeti Siege
~/A top-down shooter desktop game built entirely in Java with MVP architecture, featuring a hybrid SQLite/MySQL database for local and global leaderboard competition.

Context & Problem
The Challenge
Creating an engaging game experience requires balancing multiple complex systems — real-time rendering, collision detection, state management, and data persistence — all while maintaining clean, maintainable code architecture that doesn't collapse under growing complexity.
The Solution
The Last Penguin solves this through a strict Model-View-Presenter (MVP) pattern that cleanly separates game logic, data management, and rendering. A hybrid database system (SQLite local + MySQL global) enables both offline play and competitive online leaderboards, while a modular asset loading system keeps the codebase scalable.

Building a complete game from scratch in Java taught me the importance of architectural patterns in complex applications. The MVP pattern kept the codebase manageable as features grew, and implementing a hybrid database system gave me practical experience in designing systems that work both online and offline.
