Basic Snake HTML and JavaScript Game

Free Hosting on GitHub

This guide will take you from zero webserver knowledge, to having your own free site hosted on GitHub. The only non-free bit is registering a domain name, which can be as cheap as $5/year.

This guide uses CrazyDomains as the Registrar, FreeDNS as the DNS, and GitHub as the Webserver.

1) Domain Registration and Setup

	var mat;
	var prev_position;
	var zpos = 10;

	func _ready() -> void:
	mat = self.get_active_material(0)
	prev_position = translation
	print(mat)
