ngx-snake

Snake game as an angular component

ngx-snake is actually only the core of the game... YOU need to add everything around it (controls, score...) yourself :)

Check the demo here

Using it:

Install:

npm install ngx-snake

Import

import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser';
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';

import {AppComponent} from './app.component';
import {NgxSnakeModule} from 'ngx-snake';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        AppComponent,
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        NgxSnakeModule
    ],
    providers: [],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}

Add/Connect to your fancy control interface

    <ngx-snake #game></ngx-snake>

        <button (click)="game.actionStop()">Stop</button>

Styling

To change colors and tiles (to black and white for example) define styles with colors like

ngx-snake {
    ngx-snake-tile {
        background: #ffffff;
        &.free {
            div {
                background: #ffffff;
            }
        }
    }
}
