Brief overview

The StarterSnake.Startup class starts a new server using the StarterSnake.StarterController class to control snake movement. This movement is random and will lead to rather soon death. You may either implement your own controller inheriting StarterSnake.Service.ISnakeServiceController or improve the existing controller directly.

Generally there should be no need to modify code inside the StarterSnake.Service and StarterSnake.ApiModel namespaces.

Running the snake

By default the snake runs a server on port 5050. You may change this through the environment variable PORT.

dotnet run -c Release
