WASM Snake

Vim Snake 2.0 is written in Go and compiled to Web Assembly.

I originally built this site in 2013 using my extremely limited knowledge of javascript and ruby/sinatra. It was trivial to cheat and so the leaderboard was meaningless. This rewrite fixes those issues and taught me a bunch about new web technologies.

Development

Run the server

go run cmd/main.go serve

or to watch use the reflex golang package

reflex -r '\.go$' -s -- sh -c "go run cmd/main.go serve"

Front end

Create a .env file with environment variables shown in .env_example

yarn build single build or yarn startfor development

NOTE: wasm_exec.js needs to be from the specific go version

WASM Code

make to build (also watched and built by yarn start)

Docker

Build docker build . -t vimsnake:latest --build-arg ARCH=arm64

Run docker run -p 3000:8090 --rm -it vimsnake

Inspect docker run --rm -it -p 3000:8090 --entrypoint sh vimsnake:latest
