Process

After completing the online assessment, I had a technical interview with one of the current employees.

The interview lasted about an hour, but the experience was not positive. It seemed like the interviewer was working on other tasks while I was writing and explaining the code.

Questions

Implement a snake game with the following rules:

  • The class should have an __init__ method that takes the size of the map and the positions of the snake's body and head.
  • The class should have a move function that moves the snake left, right, up, or down.
  • The snake should not pass through its own body or go out of the map boundaries.
