browser-snake

Multiplayer web based snake game. Built for Beaverhacks Fall 2018.

Built by the crackpot team browser-snake consisting of Brooks Przybylek, Alex Cheng and Matt Britt.

Description:

This project is an implementation of the classic Snakes game but allows multiplayer play. There is a server which runs the game, while each player's client receives game data using websockets. Gameplay is as follows:

Use Arrow Keys to move
To move faster, press the arrow key in the direction you wish to travel
Eat food pellets to grow your snake
Colliding with walls and other snakes is acceptable
Pushing the arrow key in a blocked direction (wall, your snake, other snake) will kill your snake

There is a limit of 8 players at a time
