We'll explore these features and learn how they work by using some of them in our game. It has functionality to draw shapes and sprites (the images of characters and game elements) to the screen, get user input, play sounds, and more. Kaboom.js is a JavaScript library that contains many useful features to make simple in-browser games. Now, give this repl a name, like "snake-kaboom".Īfter the repl has booted up, you should see a main.js file under the "Scenes" section. Log into your Replit account and create a new repl. That's a lot to think about! Let's get started and create a project in Replit. A way to determine if the snake has eaten, or touched, the food.A way to randomly place the food on the screen.A way to determine if the snake has crossed over itself (or "bitten itself", as another analogy).A way to determine if the snake has gone out of bounds of the screen.A way to get steering directions from the player to the snake.A way to draw the blocks and move them on the screen.

The food then re-appears at another random place on the screen.Ī few components we will need to build are: If the snake eats some food (a different type of block), it grows by 1 block. If the snake crosses itself, it also dies. It also has simple rules – when the snake touches the sides of the screen, it dies.
JAVA SCRIPT SCREEN SNAKE SERIES
Snake, at its core, is a series of blocks representing a snake moving around a grid, with the player controlling the direction. Let's think a bit about what we need to do. If you don't already have a Replit account, create one now. We'll use the Replit web IDE to create our version of Snake.

In this tutorial, we'll implement Snake using Kaboom.js built into Replit Overview and Requirements It's also a great game to build when you are learning the basics of game making. In the most basic form, it's a super simple game, but still wildly entertaining. At the time, it was often the only game you'd find on a phone. Snake was an incredibly popular game, mostly remembered from 1990s era cell phones.
