Multiplayer Snake Game with First-Person View

This project is a real-time, two-player multiplayer snake game with a unique first-person 3D perspective, built with a modern tech stack and designed for easy deployment with Docker.

Features

• Classic Snake Gameplay: Control your snake, eat food to grow, and avoid collisions with walls, yourself, and the other player.
• Real-Time Multiplayer: Play against another person in real-time on a shared game board.
• Dual Views:
  • Top-Down View: A classic 2D perspective of the entire game board.
  • First-Person View: A 3D view from the snake's perspective, rendering the walls and the other player's snake.
• Distinct Player Colors: Each snake has a unique and easily identifiable color.
• Keyboard Controls: Use the arrow keys to control your snake's direction.
• Sound Effects: Audio feedback for key events like eating food, winning, and losing.
• Containerized Deployment: The entire application is containerized with Docker for simple, one-command deployment.

Technologies Used

• Backend: Kotlin with Ktor for handling WebSocket connections and game logic.
• Frontend: Vue.js with Vite for a reactive and fast user interface.
• 3D Rendering: Three.js for the first-person view.
• Build Tools: Gradle for the backend, npm for the frontend.
• Containerization: Docker for building and running the application.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Docker must be installed on your system.

Build and Run

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-directory>

2. Build and run the Docker container: From the root of the project, run the following command:

   docker build -t multiplayer-snake . && docker run -p 8080:8080 multiplayer-snake

3. Play the game: Open two browser tabs and navigate to http://localhost:8080. The game will start once two players have connected.
