Seeking Guidance for React Technical Interview (Live Coding: Game Development)
Hi everyone! I have a critical technical interview this Monday with a company’s founding engineer and would deeply appreciate your insights.
Background: I’ve used React for 5 years (personal/academic projects). Currently pursuing a Master’s in CS (limited corporate experience).
Interview format (This is what they told me): Your interviewer will have you log into a code sharing environment to complete the interview.
Your coding evaluation will include:
Format: React
Goal: Build a game
Use of React Hooks and JS specifically around converting arrays to objects and vice-versa; No CSS
Ask: What types of games might they ask? (e.g., Tic-Tac-Toe, Memory Card, etc.) Key topics to prioritize? (e.g., hooks patterns, state management for games, array/object conversions)
This is my first interview in a year, and I want to ensure I’m laser-focused. Any advice on potential game ideas, common pitfalls, or must-practice concepts would mean the world!
Thank you for supporting a nervous but eager candidate! 🙏
