Game of one snake is too easy. How about game of two snakes?

Duo snake

This is the place to test what we learnt and want to learn. Code anything you like.

duosnake's Issues

Show keyboard controls to help players getting started

The default key mappings are a, s, d, w for player 1 and k, l, ;, o for player 2 but the user never knows.

Add concept "theme" and move existing drawings (circles, rectangles) into one theme

Allow other developers to draw their own images for snakes in their own style

Classic mode

The snakes die when they hit their body.

Allow multiple drawing modes

Allow at least two drawing modes:

• pixelated: the snakes move cell by cell (current version)
• continuous: the snakes move more smoothly

Refactor class Board and Snake

Cell state is updated by methods of both Board and Snake. Should only be managed by Board.

Add animation to snake head and body

It's too boring when the snake head and body are only static squares

Add button/option to change game mode

Currently game mode can only be changed by typing in the console

game.mode = GAME_MODE_*
game.reset()
game.start()

Add a wining condition

An idea: the board displays a placeholder which the two snakes must fill to win

Show love values of the snakes

Love value indicates who the snake can bite. The value should be displayed for players to adjust his playstyle

Add VFX class/functions

Create a class or functions to add visual effects to an area in canvas when called.

For example: heart drawing animation

Add a simple AI that automatically controls a snake

Perhaps a snake trying to eat everything on the board (ignoring the player)

Create simple server to connect two players

1. Provide a link
2. When player 1 connects, his/her console should display "Player 1 connected"
3. When player 2 connects, the console of player 1 should display "Player 2 connected"

Don't need to synchronize game state now

Add play/replay buttons

Currently the game start automatically. To restart, these commands can be run in the console

game.reset()
game.start()

Update README and other information in github to attract contributors

What affects the visibility of one project for github users?

Pause the game when the tab loses focus

Also add pause and unpause methods to class Game

Add and config a git branch for github pages

Automatically build and deploy to github pages after pushing a commit to master branch.

Sound for snakes

Should not be annoying

Split source codes into files and add a build tool

Track website traffic

Add Google Analytics (?)

Make the game searchable by Google

I have no idea how SEO works. :'(

Introduce snake status

Food can affect oneself or the other with various effects. Some ideas:

• dizzy: reduce movement speed.
• confused: move to the opposite direction of player's input.
• sick: lose body parts.
• insane: bite oneself or the other ignoring sanity (love).
• blind: lose visibility.

Change sanity to love

• Each snake has a love value towards itself (self-love) and the other (other-love).
• When self-love drops below zero, he will bite himself.
• When other-love drops below zero, he will bite the other one.
• Self-love decreases when only he grows (being lonely).
• Other-love decreases when his food is stolen.
