GitSnake transforms the classic 1970s discrete grid snake game into an interactive simulation of modern source control versioning. As your branch collects feature commits, the branch length increases—mirroring repository complexity and technical debt until a clean interactive rebase clears the runway.
Deterministic Grid Collision Engine
The playing field operates on a 32x24 coordinate matrix rendered via HTML5 2D Canvas context with requestAnimationFrame interpolation, ensuring tick-perfect collision verification and zero input drop.
Zero-Latency Web Audio Chords
Every commit merge triggers a synthesized Web Audio square-wave chirp. Collecting rebase power-ups plays a major triad arpeggio synthesized natively without any external MP3 network requests.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you play GitSnake?
Use your arrow keys, WASD, or mobile touch gestures/D-Pad to navigate your main branch stream. Collect commit nodes (feat, fix, perf) to grow your commit tree and boost your production score while dodging border walls, your own branch history, and red merge conflict obstacles.
What do the different commit nodes do?
Green nodes are 'feat:' commits (+10 pts), Purple nodes are 'fix:' commits (+15 pts), Blue nodes are 'perf:' commits (+25 pts with speed boost), and Gold nodes are 'rebase' power-ups (+50 pts and bonus score multiplier).
What causes a game over in GitSnake?
Running into the circuit boundary, crashing into your own commit trail (cyclic commit history), or colliding with a red Merge Conflict obstacle triggers a production failure.
Does GitSnake track my keystrokes or data?
No. GitSnake executes 100% client-side inside your browser sandbox via native HTML5 Canvas and Web Audio API synthesis. High scores are stored solely in your local browser localStorage.
