🛠️ Devlog #1 – Launching the Snake Game on GitHub Pages
Date: July 24, 2025
✅ What I Accomplished:
Deployed a classic retro Snake game as a fully static site on GitHub Pages!
Styled with a nostalgic CRT aesthetic using glowing green and red tones.
Game includes three difficulty modes: Easy, Normal, and Hard.
Added a visible score and high score tracker.
Smooth Game Over overlay with replay button.
Simple controls: arrow keys to move, spacebar to pause.
Works seamlessly across desktops and mobile browsers.
🔧 Stack Used:
Frontend: HTML5 + CSS3 + Vanilla JavaScript
Deployment: GitHub Pages
Assets: Custom pixel art and 8-bit inspired color palette
🧠 Challenges Faced:
Tuning the grid-based movement to stay pixel-perfect across screen sizes.
Ensuring Game Over logic doesn't trigger multiple times.
Debugging issues with touch controls on mobile (future fix).
🚀 Next Steps:
Add touch/gesture support for mobile devices.
Save high scores using localStorage.
Animate the snake death sequence for smoother UX.
Add background music and retro sound effects toggle.
Create a difficulty unlock system based on score thresholds.
