Introducing Super Snake Deluxe

Published on May 10, 2023

Today I'm excited to announce my latest project: Super Snake Deluxe, a modern reimagining of the classic Snake game built with Cursor AI.

The Genesis of Super Snake Deluxe

Like many developers, my journey into programming began with simple games. Snake was one of the first games I ever played, and it has always held a special place in my heart. I wanted to recreate this classic game while adding modern features that would make it more challenging and exciting.

What Makes it "Deluxe"?

Super Snake Deluxe takes the core gameplay of Snake and enhances it with:

  • Challenging obstacles that increase difficulty as you progress
  • Power-ups that add strategic depth to gameplay
  • Portal system allowing you to traverse across the game board
  • Online leaderboard for competitive play
  • Score-based progression system
  • Modern visual effects while maintaining the classic feel

Building with Cursor AI

One of the most exciting aspects of this project was using Cursor AI as my development environment. This AI-powered code editor helped me generate core game mechanics, optimize collision detection, and even implement the leaderboard system with remarkable efficiency.

The game is built using JavaScript with the Canvas API for rendering, with Cursor AI assisting in solving complex programming challenges that would have taken significantly longer to implement manually.

Current Status and Next Steps

Super Snake Deluxe is currently in active development, with a working prototype available at

snake.virajshoor.com<snake.virajshoor.com>
. You can already play the core game and experience most of the features.

My next steps include:

  • Adding more obstacle types and patterns
  • Implementing additional power-ups with unique effects
  • Enhanced visual feedback for high scores
  • Optimizing performance for mobile devices
  • Adding sound effects and background music
