🧐 About

After seeing Snake game after Snake game, I noticed that the trend was whenever it was adapted to 3D it always lacked Y-axis movement! Since I felt that was a total waste of a dimension that set me off to implement a version of it that wasn't constrained to two axes in JavaScript. After finding three.js I knew I would be able to complete my idea! Without futher ado:

Installation

You can test and run this just by dragging public/index.html into the browser.

Feel free to install using NPM as well npm install 4dsnake.

🚀 Deployment

This project is deployed on Github Pages. By keeping the top level index.html file, it will automatically populate to github pages. The only thing you need to do is edit the route to your own public/index.html route hosted on github pages.

You can also host this project on any cloud deployment you like, I chose Heroku for its quick setup. It hosts the project using NodeJS a simple http-server that uses the $PORT environment variable (or defaults to 4000).
