Hi guys, I got a job with a games company in london yesterday, but one of the requirements is to write code for a new videogame. Ive no experience with code, kind of bluffed my way through the interview process, any tips you could give me for impressing the boss on monday?

Just read this:

You should be able to get through it 3 times before monday. :-PTbh, treating this as a troll; you sound like a troll, and anyway, it’s very hard to bluff your way into a programming job if you are so clueless that you don’t even know it takes more than a few days to learn to code.
But in the unlikely event you’re serious, post some details; what sort of company, job, software etc… but the best advice will probably be to find a different job in the end; unless you’ve really misinterpreted what’s going on. -

Are you saying that a commercial games company gave you a job (contract or full-time?) in London, without seeing any of your code?

What exactly is a "troll" (apart from the guys under the bridge)?

A guy whos full of bullshit.
No game company hires without a programming test unless your da runs it.

Did they lure you into the back of a van for the interview?

Hey Feral thanks for the reply. I ordered that book but it wont get here til saturday maybe even tho i paid for express. I cant talk about the company, they made me sign an NDA before the interview. Its a 12 month contract.
I paid someone a few bob to sort out a few examples I could show in my interview. I really didnt think theyd dwell on it that much tho, so now im little worried itll be a big part.
anyway cheers if that book gets here before monday ill give it a read through.

Look, I’m with the other guys on this, and I’m pretty certain you are trolling. Furthermore, I don’t think you are good at it.
The bit about the NDA doesn’t add up; and there’s big problems with the idea you could present someone else’s examples in an interview etc; or even make it into a programming job.
It’d be good if an admin would check out your IP addy etc, as there’s been a few posts on here recently I reckon were trolls.That said, it’s possible to be interviewed by a business person rather than a coder – shouldn’t happen, but it can.
I once had to do a technical interview on a guy that was totally making stuff up, but he had already successfully bluffed his way past a customer support manager (who was managing a technical team). That’s what the technical interview was for though, and it got embarrassing about 5 minutes in.Anyway, even if you were not trolling, I don’t particularly think you would deserve help if you paid someone else to make examples for your interview. Doesn’t matter, if you’ve been hired as a coder, you are going to be found out very soon. I mentioned the book as a joke – you can’t actually learn C++ in 24 hours. Go back to college instead, and do some courses on professional ethics while your there!
Hey, even if you’re just trolling, go back to college and do something productive instead :-)
