Easy data structure and algorithm practice puzzle.
Given a new color, the color behind it, and an alpha from 0 to 1, return the blended color, rounded to 4 decimals. For each channel, it's new x alpha + behind x (1 - alpha). Every see-through window, shadow, and puff of smoke in a game comes from this one formula.
Solve it three ways: snap the jigsaw pieces together, fill in the blanks, or type it from scratch against the tests. This one is free.
Every line of the solution comes with a note explaining why it is there, and a step by step replay shows the code running. At level 3, where you type it yourself, you can ask for an AI mock interview on this problem that ends with a hiring manager's scorecard.
Then grow it into a real project with the Software Engineer button: this puzzle becomes the Frame Audit Trail, a pipeline you can run and download. See every Software Engineer project.
