To make the gameplay more engaging, we incorporated elements of Aztec mythology—specifically the story of Quetzalcoatl, the serpent-shaped god who becomes the fifth sun—through both graphics and narrative. Additionally, various items and more complex mechanics were introduced to increase difficulty and enhance player experience. ## How It Works - The user can control both the head and the tail. - Body length increases differently depending on the item collected. - Items provide different scores. - Speed increases as the score rises. - Obstacles appear randomly in the current direction of movement. ### Head Control The head is controlled using the arrow keys. | Key | Effect | |-----|--------------------------| | ↑ | The head faces upward | | ↓ | The head faces downward | | ← | The head faces left | | → | The head faces right | ### Tail Control The tail is controlled using the W, A, S, and D keys. | Key | Effect | |-----|--------------------------| | W | The tail faces upward | | S | The tail faces downward | | A | The tail faces left | | D | The tail faces right | ### Items | Item | Score | Body Length Increase | |------------|-------|----------------------| | Sun | +15 | +3 | | Gemstone | +10 | +2 | | Heart | +5 | +1 | ### Speed | Score Range | Speed Condition | |-------------|--------------------------| | < 70 | `p.frameCount % 7 === 0` | | < 90 | `p.frameCount % 5 === 0` | | ≥ 90 | `p.frameCount % 3 === 0` | ### Obstacles Obstacles appear in the direction the snake is currently moving. If the snake's head or tail collides with an obstacle, the player loses one life. ### Game Clear Condition - Score reaches 100 or more. ### Game Over Conditions - Life reaches 0. - Collision with walls. # Code Structure The code is organized into two main parts: the Svelte frontend for UI/state management and the `sketch.js` file for game logic and rendering using p5.js. ## Components ### 1. `Game.svelte` - Manages the game's state (`start`, `play`, `clear`, `over`) - Contains the main UI layout, life/score display, and `
` for the p5 sketch --- - Handles `onMount()` logic to attach and remove the p5 instance dynamically ```javascript ``` --- - Receives game data via `receiveGameData()` function and updates HUD ```javascript function receiveGameData(data) { life = data.life; score = data.score; if (data.state && data.state !== gameState && data.state !== "play") { gameState = data.state; } } ``` --- ### 2. `sketch.js` - Contains the `createSketch(p, onGameData)` function that defines the p5 sketch - Handles all rendering logic: drawing the snake, items, obstacles, and walls - Manages key logic: movement, collision, growth, scoring, speed change - Sends current score/life/game state to Svelte using the `onGameData()` callback - The snake uses an array to manage the head, body, tail, and corner images according to the situation, and to allow the body to grow in length. #### Key Features in `sketch.js` #### 1. Grid System & Basic Setup - The canvas is divided into cells of size 20 using `cellSize`. - All coordinates are based on `{x, y}` positions in this grid system. ```javascript let cellSize = 20; p.createCanvas(1000, 520); p.imageMode(p.CENTER); ``` --- #### 2. Snake as an Array - The snake is stored as an array of coordinates. - Movement is implemented using `unshift()` to add a new head and `pop()` to remove the tail. - When direction changes, a corner segment is drawn automatically. ```javascript let snake = [ {x: 10, y: 5}, {x: 9, y: 5}, ... ]; snake.unshift(newHead); if (!growNext) snake.pop(); ``` ```javascript for (let i = 0; i < snake.length; i++) { const seg = snake[i]; const px = seg.x * cellSize + cellSize/2; const py = seg.y * cellSize + cellSize/2; p.push(); p.translate(px, py); if (i == 0) { // head dorection setting } else if (i == snake.length - 1) { // tail direction setting } else { //body parts and corner case const prev = snake[i - 1]; const next = snake[i + 1]; const dx1 = seg.x - prev.x; const dy1 = seg.y - prev.y; const dx2 = next.x - seg.x; const dy2 = next.y - seg.y; const isCorner = dx1 !== dx2 || dy1 !== dy2; if (isCorner) { let angle = ...; // rotation angle logic p.rotate(angle); p.image(cornerImg, 0, 0, cellSize, cellSize); } else { const angle = dx1 == 0 ? p.HALF_PI : 0; p.rotate(angle); p.image(bodyImg, 0, 0, cellSize, cellSize); } } p.pop(); } ``` - Segment rendering (head/body/corner/tail) is dynamically determined: ```javascript const isCorner = dx1 !== dx2 || dy1 !== dy2; if (isCorner) p.image(cornerImg, 0, 0, cellSize, cellSize); ``` --- #### 3. Obstacle Collision Logic - Obstacles are randomly placed ahead of the snake's direction with spacing and jitter. - Snake colliding with an obstacle (head or tail) reduces life. ```javascript if ((head.x == o.x && head.y == o.y) || tail.x == o.x && tail.y == o.y) { if (o.hit == null) { life -= 1; o.hit = p.frameCount; } } ``` ```javascript function makeObstacle() { // moving head or tail? which direction? let base; let dir; if (dirHead.x !==0 || dirHead.y !== 0) { base = snake[0]; dir = dirHead; } else if (dirTail.x !== 0 || dirTail.y !== 0){ base = snake[snake.length - 1]; dir = dirTail; } else { return; } ...; //gap between the snake and an obstacle const gap = p.floor(p.random(3, 7)); let newX = base.x + dir.x * gap + p.floor(p.random(-1, 2)); let newY = base.y + dir.y * gap + p.floor(p.random(-1, 2)); ...; } ``` - Obstacles flash and disappear after impact. --- #### 4. Item Collection System - Items (`heart`, `gemstone`, `sun`) are generated at random, non-overlapping grid locations. - Each item provides different score and body growth effects. ```javascript if (item.type == "gemstone") { score += 10; growNext += 2; } ``` - Items are rendered with different images and refreshed automatically. --- ### Interaction Diagram ```mermaid graph TD UserInput -->|"Arrow Keys / WASD"| p5Sketch p5Sketch --> GameLogic GameLogic --> Rendering GameLogic -->|"onGameData()"| GameSvelte GameSvelte --> HUD ``` ### Flow Chart ```mermaid graph TD StartScreen -->|start| PlayScreen GameOverScreen -->|retry| PlayScreen GameOverScreen -->|back to start| StartScreen GameClearScreen -->|try again| StartScreen ``` # Challenges - I attempted to include background music based on the game state, but it could not be implemented due to browser restrictions. - When rendering the corner segments in the snake array, the rotation did not work as expected using theoretically calculated angles; I had to adjust the values empirically for it to display correctly. # References - [Mermaid.js documentation](https://mermaid.js.org/) - [p5.js reference](https://p5js.org/ko/reference/) - [Svelte official tutorial](https://svelte.dev/tutorial) - [MDN: Styling the content](https://developer.mozilla.org/ko/docs/Learn_web_development/Getting_started/Your_first_website/Styling_the_content) - [Svelte: Reactive statements](https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/legacy-reactive-assignments) - [Svelte: If-else statement](https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/if) - [MDN: `Array.unshift()` method](https://developer.mozilla.org/ko/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/unshift) - [StackOverflow: Prevent arrow keys from scrolling in Svelte](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58534362/prevent-focused-div-from-scrolling-with-arrow-keys) - Parts of this README were grammar-checked using ChatGPT and Google translator. # Future Imporvements If I had more time, I would like to explore the following features: - Adding background music to enhance the atmosphere of the game. - Changing the appearance of the snake dynamically based on the score. - Making the canvas layout responsive, so that it automatically adjusts to different screen sizes. *(Responsive design)*
