2. Sep 26, 2019  Basic Snake HTML Game. Snake is a fun game to make as it doesn't require a lot of code (less than 100 lines with all comments removed). This is a basic implementation of the snake game, but it's missing a few things intentionally and they're left as further exploration for the reader.
3. In this tutorial (the first of a series), you'll learn the basics of HTML5 game development with JavaScript and the canvas element. You don't need to have any programming experience, or even any HTML experience (apart from this one article). Let's get started! It would be difficult to have missed.
4. Don't worry, it's not necessary to fully understand this part, but I thought an explanation of the looping code would be beneficial. To continuously call the main game loop function, this tutorial used to execute the setInterval method. These days there's a better way, via the requestAnimationFrame method. However, as with most new web.

Simple Javascript Game Ideas

Large Collection of JavaScript source code. Choose from thousands of free scripts. JavaScript tutorials with example code. Excellent reference material for JavaScript. If you need help with JavaScript. JavaScript Made Easy is the place to find it. The screen for the game looks like this: About the Code. To understand it, we can divide the code in 3 parts. HTML, CSS and JavaScript. HTML part contains simple tags to form the layout of the game. CSS provides a bit of responsive design and JavaScript part contains the main logic of the game. Few of the important steps of the game are as follows.

I created a classic snake game in the canvas element. I have not considered best practices when doing this, I just wanted to finish it first. Now it's time to improve the coding practice. You can help me out by mentioning bad practices, giving code improvements and suggesting anything else.

You can see a live version of the game here.

From a once over:

Good

• I like how you use an IIFE
• I really like how you use direction = keys[event.keyCode];

Not so good

• You are not consistently applying the 2nd good technique, for example this:

  could simply have been

  I will leave deep thoughts to on whether

  • You want to specify that 'left' is the opposite of 'right', since you already specified 'right' is the opposite of 'left'
  • Whether you would want to merge oppositeDirection and keys

• You copy pasted some code in giveLife and grow that could also benefit from the above approach. I would have written this:

  as

  The advantages here are:

  • If you wanted to play snake with 8 directions, you could
  • No silent failure if an invalid direction is passed along

• The following code gives me the creeps:

  have you considered using something like

• This is also is not a pretty sight:

  That should at least be

  and really there has to be a better way than to subscribe to every browser event ;) I am assuming you are not simply providing snake.game.adjust because it is not yet initialized at that point. I would rather solve that problem then creating functions to deal with that problem.

Some thoughts on your general code style (some points might depend on personal preference):

1. I suggest splitting HTML/CSS/JS into different files

2. Your use of indention and whitespaces is inconsistent

   has an indention of two spaces

   has an indention of four spaces

   has an indention of eight spaces

3. You have two times:

4. Method names are inconsistent is_catched, setWay, todraw.

5. Consider writing constants in uppercase to differentiate them from variables you intend to modify: BLOCK instead of block or in this case something like BLOCK_SIZE is more appriopriate

6. You declare and assign your food variable the first time somewhere between all the functions, although you have a creatfood method

7. There are several magic numbers, that you could/should turn into variables

8. Some parameter names are rather cryptic: is_catched(ax,ay,awidth,aheight,bx,by,bwidth,bheight)

9. You could use objects instead of arrays for some variables. E.g.: food is an array with 2 elements (probably x/y pos). You could turn this into an object { x: XXX, y: XXX }. That might improve readability in some places.

10. Currently your update logic seems to be mixed with your draw logic. It is probably better (and easier to maintain), if you seperate these. Also, you check for game over inside your draw call..

I would suggest drawing the snake as a single polyline instead of as a bunch of blocks, so that you only call stroke once instead of calling fillRect as many times as blocks has the snake.

In general, it would be more efficient to stroke one complex shape instead of a bunch of simple ones. You can see that in this test.

Another option that I would consider is to clearRect only the last block of the snake and then draw (fillRect) only the new one, so that you don't have to redraw all the scene, only the parts that have changed. Another test here.

You will have to test both options and see which is better for you, but I would go for the second one.

I would also consider using requestAnimationFrame insted of setTimeout. From the MDN doc:

The window.requestAnimationFrame() method tells the browser that you wish to perform an animation and requests that the browser call a specified function to update an animation before the next repaint. The method takes as an argument a callback to be invoked before the repaint.

Also check this post about that. It explains the basics and also how to set a custom frame rate, so that you can still use refresh_rate in your code.

Windows 10 ltsb kms key. There are two options:

Wrapping the requestAnimationFrame in a setTimeout:

Or using deltas:

In your case I think it would be better the first option because the snake can only be drawn in certain blocks, so it doesn't make much sense to me to use deltas here.

To @Sykin's answer, I would add:

If you press down and then left faster than the snake takes to slither 'one step', the snake turns around and slithers over itself.

I find that JSLint really helps me get a consistent code style.

I suggest you use strict mode in your JS, by starting with a line 'use strict';
