At Guestlogix we feel that putting developers on the spot with advanced algorithmic puzzles doesn’t exactly highlight one’s true skillset. The intention of this assessment is to see how you approach and tackle a problem in the real world, not quivering in front of a whiteboard.

You will be building a mobile application that displays a list of Rick and Morty episodes. If the user taps on an episode another list should appear showing the characters in that episode split into dead or alive (you're free to decide how to implement this split) and displayed in the order in which they were created. If the user taps on a character then a screen showing the character's picture and information should appear.

For bonus points (not mandatory) you can add functionality to kill a character (the way to kill a character is completely up to you, a swipe, a button, etc). If a character dies then everything should update accordingly.

• The first thing a user should see is a list of episodes.
• If the user taps into an episode the app has to display a list of characters with a clear distinction between dead and alive characters
• If the user taps into a character the app has to display that character's information and picture
• Bonus functionality: The user should have the ability to kill a character and if a character gets kill the character lists should update accordingly

Your submission will be evaluated on the following aspects

• Completeness
• Correct application of SOLID principles
• Efficiency
• Correct application of architectural patterns (we suggest MVC, but if you want to use a different one make sure it is readable and applied correctly)
• Code readability and expressiveness
• If there is a problem, the app fails gracefully
• While we favour functionality over UI/UX your submission should be easy to use (from a user's perspective)
• Your solution has to compile

The application may be done in Java or Swift (No Kotlin, no Obj-C). Otherwise, you have complete freedom in terms of how you implement the solution, as long as all user requirements are met.

Note however, that no third party libraries may be used. You can use any native tools available to you from the platform, but no open sourced, or third party libraries.
