I'm sorry to say that, but jQuery is not the best choice for game development. I believe in "go native or go home" here, jQuery hides from you how complex and slow some operations are. If you need a framework, use one intended for games, like Mibbu (http://mibbu.eu/). Besides that your code is quite good. You may want to merge "var" declarations. Also, try to avoid using switch, in javascript it may fallthrough (http://javascript.about.com/od/hintsandtips/a/ fallthrough.htm). I'd say something about performance of slice, unshift and other array functions, but I'm not an expert here. My advise would be to check jsperf.com every time you want to use any native function. Often there is a way faster implementation. $(JS_SNAKE).trigger('appleEaten', [posArray]); why not normal function call?
I'm waiting for your tutorial :) Cheers, Sebastian On Jun 11, 8:01 pm, Nick Morgan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all > > I've written a basic Snake game in JavaScript.
