Lovely. 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+.

Re: Spherical Snake
#22Quite a good implementation, got to 62 and was playing a "space filling curve" strategy to bleed off some of the length. Looking at the leader-board I suspect some people are just sending off their own custom submissions [1]. [1] https://kevinalbs.com/spherical_snake/leaderboard/
I cheated (for science)
Re: Spherical Snake
#23The game looks really good, although I think it'd be improved if the sphere was a bit smaller. It feels like it takes too long for the game to become difficult
Here's a console command you can run to increase the snake length immediately, and thus the difficulty:
(() => { let count = 50; const delay = 100; const interval = setInterval(() => { addSnakeNode(); if (--count Re: Spherical Snake
#24Love it
Re: Spherical Snake
#25When the game ends, the banner obscures the exact spot where the snake ran into itself, which is the thing you most want to see at the end.
Re: Spherical Snake
#26Cool. It would also be interesting to see a hyperbolic snake. Reminds me of this video, where the dev compares spherical and hyperbolical geometries (albeit a dimension higher): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY9GAyJtuJ0
The Land of Eternal Motion in HyperRogue is an example of a hyperbolic snake game. You can continue moving indefinitely with an infinite tail.
Re: Spherical Snake
#27Maybe add a skin around the sphere to make it look like the earth. Then the targets become places.

Re: Spherical Snake
#29Really cool game, but please please fix the viewport to prevent accidentaly zooming on the page on a mobile device!
And while you’re at it fix it so you can’t do a text selection of the game area. I’m having both zooming and selection happening and they make it unplayable.

#30I feel like this legitimately improves my intuition for Riemannian geometry.
