Snake Client Project 🐍

Snake game is a very popular video game. This is a multiplayer take on the genre.

Before you can run this client, you will need to be running the server side which you can download and install from here.

Final Product

Purpose

This project was created by me as part of my learnings at Lighthouse Labs.

• npm

Node version 12.x and npm version 6.x were used during game client development & testing.

Getting Started

• Follow steps inside the snek server repo to run the server side
• Run the development snake client using the node play.js command

How to Play

• Move the snake over the red dots to eat them and grow looooonger 🐍
• Be careful not to steer the snake into walls, other snakes, or its own tail
  • Collisions really annoy the snake and the first one will mean Game Over
• Have fun 😀

Keyboard Controls

• Use your W A S D keys to navigate your snake up, left, down, and right
• Send some friendly banter to other players using numbered keys 1, 2, and 3
• To exit the game, press Ctrl+C
