If you are unable to program a game like Pong in under ten minutes
Ahh I've been looking at a good metric for gauging the skill level of interviewees. Could this be it? I doubt I could do it to be honest. Is there some sort of school that teaches speed coding Pong?
Don't code it in C. Use something like Python + PyGame, and you should be able to hit 10 minutes.
Alternately, Sneftel's metric may only apply to the core logic of Pong, not all the graphics and input handling routines as well.
(That said, LaMothé claimed to be able to write Asteroids in an hour, because he'd done it so often...)
