I want to apply for a job in a game company, but on their website, it says that applying "programmers should include code samples to their [job] application."
I understand when employers say that they want to see a portfolio for an artist. It means the artist has to show assets, drawing or concept arts. But when it comes to programming, what code should I show the employers?
Should it be something random because they want to see my coding style, or should I submit that will get their attention? If it's the latter, what will get their attention?
They probably don't want to read through an entire project's worth of code. They don't have the time nor the patience to read through it all (I know I don't).
