In the attached notebook you will find a Python coding solution to Voxel's Technical Interview kata - SnakesAndLadders for the Sotfware Apprenticeship position.
The goal is to create a platform agnostic version of the classic game that can be used as backend.
Additionally, it needs to fulfill the following requirements:
- It has to be designed for 2 or more players who will roll a single 6 sided die
- The outcome of the roll of the die will be random
- Snakes will take players downwards, ladders upwards
- The board will be a 10x10 grid and players will start at square 1
- The players wil move their token across the board using the roll of a single die
- If the players land in square 97 they will need to roll a 3 in order to win. If they roll anything over 3 they will have to wait until they roll a 3 or lower.
- The first player to land in the final square (nº 100) wins the game and the bragging rights
I started creating a frontend version of the game since it is more interactive and easier to follow.
Once I was satisfied with the results I went for a backend solution which was the main goal of the assignment and performed some manual tests at the end.
Last but not least I included a "Room for growth" section with aspects that can be perfected.
