Java-Script-Project---Mr.Snake

Snake Game

Overview

This project is a classic Snake game implemented in JavaScript. The game features a dynamically generated grid where the snake moves, consumes food, and grows in length. The goal is to achieve the highest possible score without colliding with the walls or itself.

Features

• Grid-Based Movement: The snake moves on a 20x20 grid, responding to arrow key inputs.
• Food and Bonus System:
  • Regular food increases the score by 5 points.
  • Bonus food appears occasionally, granting 20 points if collected within a limited time.
• High Score Tracking: The game stores previous scores in localStorage and displays the highest score achieved.
• Game Over Handling: Upon collision, the game redirects the player to a gameover.html page where they can retry or exit.
• Login System: Users must enter a valid username (letters only) before accessing the game.

Code Strategy

Game Initialization

• The game initializes by:
  • Creating a table-based grid.
  • Placing the first food item.
  • Setting up an event listener for movement input.
  • Running the game loop at a defined speed interval.

Movement and Collision Detection

• The snake moves by updating its head position and shifting the body.
• The game ends if the snake collides with walls or itself.
• If food is consumed:
  • The score increases.
  • The snake grows.
  • A new food item is placed.
• Bonus food appears every 20 points for a short duration.

Score Management

• Scores are stored in localStorage, allowing persistent high score tracking.
• When the game ends:
  • The player's score is saved.
  • If a new high score is achieved, an alert notifies the player.

Game Over Handling

• When the game ends, the player is redirected to gameover.html, where they can:
  • Retry the game.
  • Exit to an external website.

How to Play

1. Enter a valid username and start the game.
2. Use arrow keys to control the snake's movement.
3. Eat food to grow and increase your score.
4. Avoid collisions with walls and yourself.
