a few quick html/js projects

These two projects started out as tiny prototypes based off of youtube user Gamkedo's rapid prototyping example videos. I have made extensive modifications to the initial games which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGmXxpIj6vs (snake) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoWqdEACyLI (pong)

snake.html is a simple snake clone. I have added:

• a score counter,
• high score counter,
• custom rendering code for the snake so its color changes as it gets longer,
• a rule that prevents the player from doubling back on their own tail in a single frame,
• a rule for apple placement that relocates it if it spawns on the same square as the snake's tail
• a start screen designed by Stephen Albrecht

pongus.html is a more involved pong clone. I have added:

• a framework for adding entities rendered with sprites and brushes rendered as canvas primitives
• more complex data e.g acceleration
• primitive 'parallel' execution: the game updates its logic and graphics in two separate functions run concurrently using setInterval()
• various rules to improve playability:

• increase in speed of projectile and paddles as the game progresses
• decrease in size of paddles "..."
• ball inherits paddle velocity to make more directed passes back and forth
• movement in two dimensions for the player
• a visual indicator for the boundaries of said motion
• image for ball
• slightly better ai rules
• score indicators
