About this Clone

This clone of the game Slither.io was created to teach game design concepts with JavaScript and the Phaser game framework. It showcases physics collisions and organization concepts of the game without implementing the multiplayer server aspect.

Cloned Features:

  • Player and bot snakes
  • Mouse and arrow-key controls
  • Speeding up with spacebar
  • Death from head-on collisions
  • Random food placed at start
  • Snake growth from eating
  • Food dropped on death
  • Shadows and interactive eyes
