Game Programmer Interview Questions

1,357 game programmer interview questions shared by candidates

The technical test was about procedurally finding out how to put puzzle pieces together. I can't post the pictures but here is part of the question: This question will involve counting and listing how many different ways a given set of square puzzle pieces can fit together; an example of what these pieces might look like is given in Fig. 1. Our objective is to arrange these pieces so that they form an n × n square. Each piece may only be rotated to find different possible solutions, as flipping a piece does not constitute a legal move within the confines of this problem. In general, a set of puzzle pieces can lead to anywhere from zero to multiple unique solutions; see Fig. 2 for an example solution when n = 2.
