Refactor Key Handling in Snake Game to Use Lookup Table for Arrow Keys
I suggest refactoring the handleArrowKeys method to replace the current switch statement with a more maintainable and concise lookup table for handling key presses. This approach follows modern JavaScript best practices and improves code readability.
Proposed Changes:
Replace the switch statement with a keyToDirection object that maps key codes to movement directions.
Use the ?? (nullish coalescing) operator to handle invalid key presses more cleanly.
Ensure const and let are used for block-scoped variables to improve scoping and maintainability.
Benefits:
Simplifies the key handling logic, making it easier to read and maintain.
Enhances flexibility for future key mappings or modifications.
Adheres to modern JavaScript standards, leading to better performance and clarity.
Here is an example of the proposed refactor:
constkeyToDirection={37: 3,// Left arrow65: 3,// 'A' key38: 0,// Up arrow87: 0,// 'W' key39: 1,// Right arrow68: 1,// 'D' key40: 2,// Down arrow83: 2// 'S' key};constdirectionFound=keyToDirection[keyNum]??-1;
