I did not have a team for this challenge, so my best efforts were spent on the back-end implementation. I also created a simple front-end for testing purposes. The demo can be accessed here: http://babinski.azurewebsites.net/ The C# source of the Back-end implementation can be found here: https://github.com/luisfb/mastermind
Please don't take in consideration the user interface/user experience because I made it as fast as I could just for testing purposes.
As requested in the instructions, here are my answers to your questions:
What was the hardest part? The hardest part was to implement the front-end for demonstration of the web API. I am better solving problems at the back-end code.
If you could go back and give yourself advice at the beginning of the project, what would it be? Would be "Read the instructions until the end!". I started developing the multiplayer system as a turn based game, but then I realized that the webservice had to return both responses at the same time only after both users sent their request.
If you could change something about this challenge, what would it be? To require more software architecture and design patterns knowledge. I know it already required a little of knowledge about concurrent requests, but it think that design patterns and good practices are also very important, as I am used to work with DDD and TDD.
Looking forward for a job interview :) Thank you.
