Hi guys,

I created a Snake game in HTML5 that I wanted to let you guys know about. A weekend project, if you will. It started out as learning about the canvas element in html5, and then the experimentation matured into this snake game.

Again, the url is snakeplay.com.

How to play: You use up, down, left, right arrow keys to move around. Couple things to keep in mind are that the snake can overlap on itself, which is different from other snake games. Also, something different is that if the snake is going, say, North, then you can directly press the down arrow key to make it go South. So, the snake can return back on itself. Depending on the type/mode of the game, the game is completed when the hunger of the snake is 0, or when the snake reaches the goal apple.

Designing your own map: Using the map designer, users can design their own levels, and other users can play them. It is very simple to use. You can create maps of different sizes, you can place snake, place obstacles (paint/erase one obstacle or a group of obstacles), set hunger or set goal apple, set number of lives, preview the map, and save. Once saved, other members can then play the map, and like the map.

I still want to add a few more things to this game, but as time permits.

Hope you guys like the game though. Please pass the word to your friends and other snake-game lovers. :)

Feel free to provide input. Thank you very much! - Kandarp.
