LUAU programmer

Introduction

The purpose of this take home assignment is to assess your programming capabilities with a 1-2 hour task.

Rules

The work has to be done with Rojo & in a public repository with the commit history viewable. The game needs to be buildable. Allowed to use any libraries you wish as long as it’s specified in the repository. Try your best to keep commits incremental, instead of one large one. No AI Usage for this takehome.

Task

Create a baggage conveyor belt

• Bags get spawned in
  • Bags get spawned in automatically at the start of the conveyor
    • Bags get spawned in every x seconds
      • Default interval 1 per second
        • This variable should be controllable with a UI slider
          • Assign this UI only to one person in the server, can be random, can be first, doesn’t matter
  • Maximum 30 bags in the world
  • There need to be a spawning in animation for the bags
    • there’s no specified way to do this, under your discretion
• The baggage conveyor belt always moves bags forward
  • Baggage conveyor length is 50 studs long
  • Bags at the end of the conveyor get deleted
    • Bags should have an animation for being deleted
      • there’s no specified way to do this, under your discretion
• Bags are unique
  • When the client clicks on the bag, server & client both print the part’s ID
  • Each bag should spawn with a random material & colour assigned to it
    • Each player should see the same material & colour on a bag as everyone else (clients need to be in sync)

Please also include an explanation of your approach to this task & why you chose to do it in this particular way and not in another if possible.

Please reach out of there are any questions.

Criteria

The task will be judged by your approach to creating this in terms of optimization & understanding of the task at hand.

The ideal network performance is less than 4KB/s average, when all the bags are spawned in.

Open-ended question

You’re not required to provide an implementation: You’ve been tasked with creating a skill-based matchmaking system that can account for any number of players (1v1, 2v2, 3v3)

Your design can use any service, even those outside of Roblox, that you think would be appropriate. Please give a high level overview of how you’d implement the matchmaking system.
