Nicely done! I had a lot of fun playing this for about 30 mins!
A couple of questions: I thought that if one snake ran into another, it would end the game but there were a couple of times where they just passed thru each other. Was this a bug?
Also, there were a couple of times when either I or my opponent ran into the other, and it ended in a tie. Shouldn't that be a win for the other player?
Thanks! Both of those are bugs caused by latence issues. I tried my best to make the game playable, but they still sometimes occur. Most likely the person you were playing with had a slower connection or had a browser that didn't support web sockets.
I had some similar problems; a couple of times I was just ahead of the other snake but when I turned across his path it recorded as a draw. I understand that it's really difficult to solve this sort of thing and provide a good experience for the players, but it kind of kills the game for me if it shows me that I'm going to win and then declares that actually I didn't.
