# Snake
A simple non-ticking snake game which supports playing with any board size.
## [Play it](https://snakepony.now.sh)
[](https://snakepony.now.sh)
_if on computer, you can move using the mouse too_
## Size variations
[](https://snakepony.now.sh/?size=16)
Passing `?size=` controls the vertical number of squares of the grid. The default is 8.
The horizontal number of squares is computed to be about 50% more than vertical.
- [SnakePony, very small](https://snakepony.now.sh/?size=4)
- [SnakePony, small](https://snakepony.now.sh/?size=6)
- [SnakePony, normal size](https://snakepony.now.sh/?size=8)
- [SnakePony, big](https://snakepony.now.sh/?size=12)
- [SnakePony, bigger](https://snakepony.now.sh/?size=16)
- [SnakePony, too big](https://snakepony.now.sh/?size=20)
## Border behavior: topology variants
[](https://snakepony.now.sh/?topology=projective)
Passing `?topology=` controls how the border reacts to the player hitting it.
- [SnakePony, ribbon (wall + loop)](https://snakepony.now.sh/?topology=ribbon)
- [SnakePony, alternative ribbon](https://snakepony.now.sh/?topology=long-ribbon)
- [SnakePony, mobius strip (wall + crossed)](https://snakepony.now.sh/?topology=mobius)
- [SnakePony, alternative mobius strip](https://snakepony.now.sh/?topology=long-mobius)
- [SnakePony, klein bottle (looping+crossed)](https://snakepony.now.sh/?topology=klein)
- [SnakePony, alternative klein bottle (looping+crossed)](https://snakepony.now.sh/?topology=long-klein)
- [SnakePony, torus (all borders looping)](https://snakepony.now.sh/?topology=torus)
- [SnakePony, real projective plan (crossed+crossed)](https://snakepony.now.sh/?topology=projective)
- [SnakePony, normal (4 wall borders)](https://snakepony.now.sh/?topology=rectangle)
Note: the topology argument can be combined with the size argument. Example:
https://snakepony.now.sh/?size=4?topology=torus
## Challenge mode
If you want to challenge yourself a bit, you can add `?showMoveCount` in the URL. It will show the number of moves you made since the beginning of the game.
[(Example link)](https://snakepony.now.sh/?size=4?showMoveCount)
