Test Project | Match Invaders

Test project for applicants: Requires Unity 2019.4.5f1.

Goal

Implement a small game based on two different game mechanics (Space Invaders and Match 3).

• Don't spend more than 6-8 hours for coding on it.
• Concentrate on the gameplay experience, data structures, architecture and separation of concerns.
• Everything in the project is used for your reference, you can use any of the assets or completely remove all of them.
• You aren't required to use the provided assets, you can use unity default shapes, build your own, make the game work in 3D, or put some sprites together to get a desired shape. You won't be evaluated in your 3D/2D skills, instead the subject of evaluation will be:
  • The implementation of the requirements.
  • The code quality.
  • Your proficiency with the Unity Engine.

Requirements

Read the REQUIREMENTS.md before starting

Remember to read both this README and the REQUIREMENTS before starting to work on the project.

Implementation

• Clone this repository.
• Develop as you would do in a normal project.
• Do not use copyright/third party libraries.
• Upload this project to a public or private repository in your account and invite Bernhard Fercher to it.

Delivery

Before implementation

• Split the requirements into sub tasks and estimate the time it would take for each one.
• Send an email to [email protected] with your estimations.
• Optionally, contact Bernhard Fercher for requirements clarification.

Implementation

• Functional build for x64 machines.

After implementation

• Comment the execution time for each issue closed. You can also add some extra information explaining why a task took less or more time than the estimated.
• Review the project (what you learn, where you struggle, what you liked from what you did, if we should pay attention on a particular piece of the project). You can use the Review.md for this.
• Tag the final commit as "Release" and upload the build to the GitHub releases page.
• Inform Bernhard Fercher of the finished projects.

Evaluation criteria

• Project completion (provided build and project)
• Whole feel of the game
• User experience
• Structure of the
  • project (scene ordering, how you set up components, nesting, etc)
  • code (how you define entry points, connections between scripts and nest your logic)
• How and which software patterns you use.
• Maintainability and cleanliness of your code.
• How you test your code.
• Creativity
