How It Works

This Snake game demonstrates how advanced interactive content can be embedded directly in your Sphinx documentation:

  1. HTML Structure: A canvas element for the game board and controls.

  2. CSS Styling: Makes the game visually appealing and responsive.

  3. JavaScript Logic: Implements the game mechanics:

    • Snake movement and direction control

    • Food generation and collision detection

    • Score tracking and game over conditions

    • Keyboard event handling

Integration in Documentation

This example shows how interactive elements can enhance documentation:

  • Demos: Show interactive examples of your code or concepts

  • Tutorials: Create interactive step-by-step guides

  • Simulations: Help users understand complex processes visually

  • Games: Keep readers engaged with entertaining content

Technical Implementation

The game uses pure JavaScript with no external dependencies, making it fully compatible with Sphinx documentation:

  • Canvas API for rendering the game

  • Event listeners for keyboard input

  • SetInterval for the game loop

  • DOM manipulation for updating the score
