In its current state, the game is very basic. My focus was just to make the game incredibly customizable and aesthetically pleasing. I wanted these customizations to be saved in the URI so you could share your preferred settings and for these settings to be changable while the game was running.

This project is in a pretty good state but there are many improvements that can be made. In order of importance:

The code isn't pretty. There are a lot of magic numbers, public variables, and the structure for the project is all over the place. Having a clear distinction between "game engine" and "game logic" would be really nice.

This game lags a fair bit on older devices when the snake reaches a certain length. This might just be a limit of the P5 engine and the sheer number of draw calls being made, but I'm fairly certain something can be done to improve it. If nothing else, a performance mode can be added that doesn't do any of the fancy color shenanigans.

Probably just a local cookie initially.

Add mobile controls.

Refreshing the page should preserve updated settings. Also, add logic to ignore keypresses if Cmd/Ctrl is held down.

Currently only 'green' is implemented. Adding powerups should be fairly straightforward.
