Snake Game

Classic Snake Game

This project is a modern web-based recreation of the classic arcade Snake game. Built natively with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it offers a seamless and responsive retro gaming experience right in the browser.

Gameplay

The mechanics are faithful to the original game:

• Navigate: Control the snake using the keyboard arrow keys to move across the grid.
• Grow: Consume food scattered randomly across the board to grow in length.
• Survive: Avoid colliding with the walls or the snake's own tail. The game gets progressively harder as the snake becomes longer.

Technical Details

The game logic relies on a smooth game loop powered by JavaScript's requestAnimationFrame for optimal performance. The grid is dynamically rendered onto an HTML5 Canvas, ensuring crisp graphics and immediate input responsiveness.

Key technical features include:

• Collision detection for both borders and self-intersection
• Dynamic grid rendering
• Score tracking and state management
• Pure Vanilla JavaScript without any heavy external libraries
