A simple Snake game that runs in the browser. The goal of developing this game was to practice my programming skills and get reacquainted with the canvas.
Enjoy the game!
Clone the repo, npm install and npm start. The application runs on port 5000. The application requires the --experimental-modules argument to run, as ES modules are used rather than CommonJS. This has already been added to the start script.

- HTML
- HTML Canvas
- Node.js

I wanted to take the opportunity with this little project to play with using ES modules. It would have been well enough to simply write all my class files and add them to index.html in script tags, but I wanted to use a more modern approach and write modules and import them into an index.js file. As I learned, this requires a server, and to use ES modules exclusively by adding the "type": "module" key to package.json. As a result, ES modules are used on the client and server side for this application. I chalk it up to being a quirk.
