Let's assess your Programming Patterns! 📋- This assessment gives us an idea of your code architecture skills - Companies that evaluate this skillset in interviews: Dirtcube, PTW, Playshifu, etc. - 10 Multiple Choice questions - Average time to complete: 7 to 10 minutes

Object pooling with a dynamically increasing pool of platforms

Object pooling with a fixed-size pool of platforms

Singleton taking care of the platform placement

Which one of the following programming patterns would you use to optimize platform placement for an infinite runner game?

Other classes will not have access to the Singleton class

Other classes can access code/variables they are not supposed to

Multiple instances of the class will exist

Unit Testing becomes difficult with too many classes using the singleton

Which one of the following is most likely to occur when you use Singleton?

Observer

Command

State

Component

You want to setup an achievement system in a game, with achievements like killing 100 enemies,etc. What design pattern would you use?

Object Pooling

Flyweight

Factory

- You are working on an open-world game with loads of vegetation, what could you use to optimise your game?

Sequencing

Optimization

Decoupling

What architectural problem does the Component pattern solve?

What pattern would you use for spawning/setting up NPCs in GTA at the start of the game?

Singleton

You implement skins in your game, with each skin giving the character different abilities through different data containers for each skin. What design pattern are you using?

Service Locator

How can you improve code architecture if a game uses hundreds of singletons?

State pattern to keep track of the states of all the elements of the game

Command pattern to save or store critical events in the game

Singleton pattern to actually simulate the replay

Observer pattern where objects can listen for events

Which programming pattern would you use to simulate replays in a deterministic game?

Better manage conditional statements and maintainability

For setting up encapsulation in a game

For saving data about objects at any given moment in a game

Why is there a need for a State Programming Pattern?
