Game Mechanics & Canvas API

Grid-Based Rendering

Cyber Snake uses a strictly grid-based rendering system mapped to an HTML5 Canvas. The game area is divided into a 20x20 invisible grid. The snake itself is an array of coordinates. As the game ticks forward, the array shifts: a new "head" coordinate is added in the direction of travel, and the "tail" coordinate is popped off.
