#122I was pleasantly surprised when a friend texted me after work to say this game was on Hacker News. I hope it brought some small joy to your day. Some comments helped identify some minor tweaks. I do not expect to have time or motivation to make bigger changes soon. Feel free to make GitHub issues.
Hypersnake! We need hypersnake! Snake on the surface of a hypersphere [1]! (Cubes can come too.)

You might find this fun. There this sonic the hedgehog special stage from sonic three that takes place on a sphere. Recently I made a remake of it and they project a 2d grid onto a sphere, but the projection adjusts as you move, so no matter where you go, you never end up at a pole. The poles always stay on your sides.
The other interesting bit is that you can have an arbitrary map size and just repeat it. The game is 32x32 but it could be whatever.

Anyway, great stuff you have here!

#125This reminds me of Snake Galaxy. I'm so sad it's not available anymore, it was an adorable spherical snake game on early iPhone circa 2010 era. I really miss the little Paris planet.

I just want to say I love this idea and execution. Great work, please make more :)

#127Lovely. Would love if it canvas was bigger on desktop. Zoomed in 3x is much better but pix-elated. The first 50 or so levels were very easy. Started getting difficult around 90+.
This should work: function scale(multi) { cnv = document.getElementsByTagName('canvas')[0]; cnv.width = 358 * multi; cnv.height = 360 * multi; window.focalLength = 200 * multi; window.init(); } scale(4);
Very nice.
Paired that with cnv.requestFullscreen() for a much better experience.
Then I started noticing the dropped frames every few seconds due to GC pauses.

Is this AI made?

#129The snake movement reminds me of the video feedback tail behavior here: https://vimeo.com/487717654
Re: Spherical Snake
#130What is the strategy after it gets longer than a great circle? Wiggle with constant frequency to "fold" it? Constantly move in one direction to form a spiral? Something completely different?
