	## 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	"Retro Snake Game by Arcadeprehacks: Offers nostalgic experience but outdated interface.",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

	x-axis Low Reach --> High Reach
	y-axis Low Engagement --> High Engagement
	quadrant-1 Leaders in Market

	"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.

	## 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.

Summary

• Created a new directory: programming_interview.
• Added three markdown files for each challenge:
• easy_challenge.md
• medium_challenge.md
• hard_challenge.md
• Added three Python test files for each challenge:
• easy_challenge_test.py

Step 5: 🔁 Code Review

Here are my self-reviews of my changes at sweep/interview-challenges_1.

Here is the 1st review

The pull request is mostly well-structured and the problem statements are clear. However, there's a potential issue that needs to be addressed:

• In programming_interview/easy_challenge_test.py, please ensure that the solution module exists and contains the find_max function. If not, you might want to adjust the import statement on line 2.

Once this is addressed, everything else looks good!

I finished incorporating these changes.
