Preparing the board game

Even if our game has a 3D representation, we will implement 2D gameplay like the original snake game. Our game items are born, will live, and die in a 2D area. Like chess, this board will be composed of rows and columns. But in our snake game, each square can be:

• An apple

• A snake

• A wall

• Empty

Here is an example of a board representation from the point of view of the engine:

This is a small 10x8 board; even if the size does not matter, you will be able to define a bigger one. Your game, your rules! We have walls (W) surrounding the game area. An apple (A) is spawned at 7x2. Finally, we have a snake (S) beginning at 3x4 and ending at 5x5.

It is time to create our board class. Please create a JS file called board.js:

function Board(columnCount, rowCount, blockSize) { 
    this.columnCount = columnCount; 
    this.rowCount = rowCount; 
    this.blockSize = blockSize; 
    this.maxIndex = columnCount * rowCount; 
    this.data = new Array(this.maxIndex); 
}
