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. In this tutorial, you will learn how to make classic javascript snake game using HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript. Everyone remembers that retro game. It’s quite easy and cool. And first of all, I want to show you the result. I uploaded it to my site. In this tutorial, I will not show you all pieces of javascript snake code. This game is impossible to run because in lines 3,4,5 you import files that you have on your computer. You need to put links to the data from the files in order for others to be able to use this code. Plus the images are png's that you have saved. You need to add attachments to all the external files in order for the code to be executed.

Further Exploration
Snake Game Html Code Notepad
- Score
- When the snake eats an apple, the score should increase by one. Use context.fillText() to display the score to the screen
- Mobile and touchscreen support
- Allow the game to be scalled down to a phone size. See https://codepen.io/straker/pen/VazMaL
- Support touch controls
- Better apple spawning
- Currently the apple spawns in any random grid in the game, even if the snake is already on that spot. Improve it so it only spanws in empty grid locations
