New Project

What is the project about?

Snake3D is a game inspired by snake. The game logic is mostly the same as in snake:

• The snake dies if it hits itself.
• The snake can eat colorful tiles to grow. This adds a point to the players score.
• The snake starts with a length of 3 tiles.
• The snake dies if it hits a border tile(Borders are white in this game).
• There are multiple(currently 2) levels.
• The game gets faster the higher the score of the player gets.
• The highscore for every gamemode/level is saved after each game.

The major difference is that Snake3D is played on the surface of a cube:

This adds a whole new dimension to the game.
→ Now the player cannot see the whole game at once.
→ The cube must be rotated to see other areas.
→ The game works with relative control, meaning the player can turn the snake right/left relative to the current direction of the snake
→ The player needs to coordinate rotation of the cube(WASD) and turning the snake(← →).

There are also already two different levels apart from the empty one:

There is also a second gamemode that creates border-tiles each time the snake eats a fruit.

Technology Stack

The game is written entirely in java.
It requires no library. The 3d-projection is written by me.
If you want it I could explain 3d-projection in another post in more detail.
The game can run on any operating that can run java. It even works on a raspberry pi.
The game needs two processor cores to work efficiently.

Roadmap

• bug fixing: Sometimes one side of the cube disappears although it should be visible.
• The graphics part should be a bit more efficient and easier to understand.

Game Enhancements:

• More levels
• Add the ability to select a level in hard mode
• Possibility to select bigger cubes
• Far future: multiplayer

UI Enhancements:

• Add a better menu
• Allow the player to still rotate the cube in menu/after death
• Settings: Controls, Dark mode/light mode, leaderboard
