Snake

First class Snake game. Powered by Svelte.

Game instructions

By either pressing one of the arrow keys on the keyboard or by using swipe gestures on a mobile device the Snake is starting to move. In the same way, the direction of the snake can be changed while it is moving. Since the snake is hungry, it would like to eat as many items as possible. Each item eaten makes the snake a little bigger, which also restricts the freedom of movement. The goal is to swallow as many items as possible.

Technological background
