Hi GrymmJack!
Thanks for the feedback!
On my work machine I do not have this issue, response time maybe 70ms or so.
But I have seen it working very slowly on not so fast computers or browsers.
Could you tell me a bit more about your browser (which + version) and your operating system (Windows, Mac or Linux), and the type of hardware you are running it on. Desktop, Laptop or Tablet, also high end, or old / low end.
If you don't want to to disclose this, this I understand, but any information is appreciated, and gives me clues to what the minimum requirements for the game are. Also as a DM, if you don't want this information here in the chat!
The background here is, that Snake runs on B3, which has run fine so far on plenty of tested devices, but not all of them. I'll work on optimizing it, but also I want to publish what is the minimum requirements, so people do not get disapointed.
Thanks for the feedback!
NP. This computer is almost 10 years old now I think. I've swapped PSUs, maxed out RAM, swapped HDs with SSDs, etc.
- OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2
- PC: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.39 GHz - 32.0 GB RAM - nVidia Titan XP and SSDs
- Browser: Firefox 112.0.2 (64-bit) - Extensions: uBlock Origin, Bitwarden, Vimium, Bitdefender Anti-Tracker, Tree Style Tab
- Antivirus: Bitdefender Plus
I have a much faster machine down in the nerd cave, I can test it there too if you like.
NP. Works great on the newer PC.

Thanks! Ok, I need to figure out how to make it quicker on slower machines. But till then I think the difference seems to be the graphics cards, and windows version. I think it might be the slow graphics card on your older machine. Have you tried to run on Chrome on the older one, and both on Firefox and Chrome, you can enable / disable hardware acceleration. I find that depending on your hardware , the hardware acceleration helps or hinders the browser.
Titan XP is pretty fast. It's not that much slower than the 3070 - I don't think it's the graphics card. https://www.gpucheck.com/compare/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-vs-nvidia-titan-xp/ - Also, before anyone comments or makes snide remarks, I was gifted the Titan XP by a friend who was part of the nVidia academic elite (he got several).
That said, I can try other browsers and enable/disable hardware acceleration on both and report back.
Thanks for being an open minded developer and not blaming everything on old computer :)
