Keyboard controls are laggy and unresponsive.

Sorry you feel that way. What makes it feel unresponsive?

For instance, to do a tight U-turn in snake games typically you can press two movement buttons one after another in rapid succession... like if your snake is travelling upwards you can press left|down so your head is now travelling downwards in the column directly to the left of your body.

In your version though, half the time this kills you for some reason. I'm guessing because your keyboard control logic registers the first keypress, i.e. left, but BEFORE it has actually moved you left... So now the game logic thinks "the snake's head is travelling left" (even though it hasn't moved) which then allows it to accept the second keypress, down, but again before it has actually actioned the first keypress and moved you left... so in effect it lets you press down while you're travelling up, or left while travelling right, etc.

That's just a guess though.

Yes that could indeed be a bug in the code. I will try to fix it. Thanks for the feedback.

Quick succesive direction changes should now work!

I just tried it and it works! Good work.

Although FYI the cursor key controls scrolled the page up and down (Firefox 137.0)

Not supported on mobile. Why not add arrow buttons on screen so that it can be played on touch screen devices as well. Example https://playmangogames.com/Maze/maze.html

Great. I was able to go up to 10 fruits. Also why would a snake eat fruits? 😅
