"food.py",
"ui.py",
"sounds.py",
"config.py",
"tests.py",

## Anything UNCLEAR:
```plaintext
We need to clarify how the communication between frontend and backend will work, and how the game state will be synchronized.
Additionally, make sure to initialize the required third-party libraries properly.
```

## Original Requirements
---
The boss wants a Python Snake game developed using pygame.
## Product Goals
```python
[
"Create an engaging and user-friendly Snake game.",
"Ensure smooth gameplay with intuitive controls.",
"Incorporate a scoring system to track player progress."
]
```
## User Stories
```python
[
"As a user, I want to easily navigate the game interface so that I can start playing quickly.",
"As a user, I want the game to respond promptly to my commands so that I have a seamless experience.",
"As a user, I want to be able to pause and resume the game whenever I need a break.",
"As a player, I want to see my current score so that I can challenge myself to do better.",
"As a player, I want the game to become progressively harder as my score increases to keep the challenge alive."
]
```
## Competitive Analysis
```python
[
"Python Snake Game by Pygamer: Offers smooth gameplay but lacks difficulty progression.",
"Classic Snake on Coolmathgames: Simple interface but limited control responsiveness.",
"Slither.io: Multiplayer snake game with good graphics but different gameplay dynamics.",
"SnakeGame by Techwithtim: Has tutorials and smooth gameplay but lacks advanced features.",
"Retro Snake Game by Arcadeprehacks: Offers nostalgic experience but outdated interface.",
"Snake & Ladder by Playstore: Different concept but gives idea about user preferences in snake games.",
"Serpentine Game on Steam: Advanced graphics and gameplay mechanics, but higher complexity."
]
```
## Competitive Quadrant Chart
```mermaid

title Reach and engagement of Snake games
x-axis Low Reach --> High Reach
y-axis Low Engagement --> High Engagement
quadrant-1 Leaders in Market
quadrant-2 Need to Promote
quadrant-3 Re-evaluate
quadrant-4 May be improved
"Pygamer's Snake": [0.4, 0.55]
"Coolmathgames": [0.3, 0.4]
"Slither.io": [0.85, 0.7]
"Techwithtim Snake": [0.4, 0.6]
"Arcadeprehacks Snake": [0.25, 0.35]
"Snake & Ladder": [0.6, 0.5]
"Serpentine": [0.7, 0.8]
"Our Target Product": [0.5, 0.65]
```
## Requirement Analysis
The product should be a Python-based Snake game using the pygame library. The game must have intuitive controls, a visible scoring system, and the ability to pause/resume. The difficulty should progressively increase as the player's score goes up, ensuring a challenging experience.
## Requirement Pool
```python
[
("Implement arrow key controls for snake direction.", "P0"),
("Develop a scoring system that displays the current score.", "P0"),
("Design game levels with increasing difficulty.", "P1"),
("Add a pause and resume functionality with the spacebar.", "P1"),
("Incorporate sound effects for events like eating and collisions.", "P2")
]
```
## UI Design draft
The game interface will be minimalistic with a solid black background. The snake will be green with rectangular segments. Food items will be red squares. Scores will be displayed at the top right corner in white text. The game can be paused and resumed with a semi-transparent overlay showing the "Paused" message.
## Anything UNCLEAR

## Implementation approach
To create a state-of-the-art Snake game using pygame, we'll focus on the following:
1. **Modularity**: Break down the game into components like the game loop, snake object, food object, and UI elements.
2. **Performance**: Ensure that the game runs smoothly by optimizing the game loop and reducing unnecessary computations.
3. **User Experience**: Implement intuitive controls, clear visuals, and responsive feedback.
4. **Progressive Difficulty**: Introduce algorithms to increase the speed of the snake as the score increases.
5. **Sound Integration**: Use pygame's mixer module to add sound effects.
6. **Testing**: Use pytest for unit testing to ensure each component works as expected.

Step 3: 📝 Planning

I have created a plan for writing the pull request. I am now working my plan and coding the required changes to address this issue. Here is the planned pull request:

Add Programming Interview Challenges
sweep/interview-challenges

Description

This PR introduces three new programming interview challenges of varying difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard). Each challenge has its own markdown description and a set of pytest tests to validate the correctness of solutions provided in solution.py.

Summary

  • Created a new directory programming_interview.
  • Added three markdown files for each challenge:
  • easy_challenge.md: Describes an easy-level challenge.
  • medium_challenge.md: Describes a medium-level challenge.
  • hard_challenge.md: Describes a hard-level challenge.
  • Added three pytest test files for each challenge:
  • easy_test.py: Contains tests for the easy challenge.
  • medium_test.py: Contains tests for the medium challenge.
  • hard_test.py: Contains tests for the hard challenge.
  • Each test file imports the solution from solution.py and runs tests to validate its correctness.

This addition will help in evaluating the problem-solving skills of candidates during the interview process.

Step 5: 🔁 Code Review

Here are my self-reviews of my changes at sweep/interview-challenges.

Here is the 1st review

Thank you for your contribution! Here are some changes that need to be made to ensure the code is complete and consistent:

  • In programming_interview/easy_challenge.md, the function implementation for reversing a string is missing. Please add the function implementation in this file or in a separate Python file.
  • In programming_interview/medium_challenge.md on lines 19-22, the explanation for Example 3 is inconsistent with the output. The correct non-repeating substring should be "wke" with a length of 3, not "pwwkew" with a length of 3. Please update the explanation to match the correct output.

Additionally, both the programming_interview/easy_test.py and programming_interview/medium_test.py files assume the existence of a module named solution containing the respective functions reverse_string and longest_substring_length. Please ensure that this module exists and contains the necessary functions, or update the import statements to point to the correct module and functions.

Keep up the good work, and let me know if you need further clarification on these changes!

I finished incorporating these changes.
