HTML5 Snake Game

Last some days I have been working with HTML5 canvas, sure it’s going to change the web future. I had implemented a snake game with HTML5 canvas + Javascript. Just take a look this live demo, it’s simple and light weight code you can use this script in 404 error pages and site down maintenance.

HTML5 snake game Canvas

Code
This code contains three functions play_game(), rand_frog() and set_game_speed(). If you want to change the game theme, modify these five variable values such as level, rect_w, rect_h, inc_score and snake_color.

  1. When you pause the game, the speed of the snake is still increasing, so if you pause and come back you will have a ridiculous snake with the speed of the wind =)

  9. loved the Game ..
    a solution to the very fast return after a pause .. is that in line

    interval = window.setInterval(set_game_speed, 60);

    make it ..
    interval = window.setInterval(set_game_speed, level);

    and this will get you back to the old lever where you have been ;)
