HealthyHarry: A healthy version of the traditional snake game over HTML5

As an experiment for learning HTML5 Canvas, I created this small game based on the popular “Snake” that many of us played on our old mobile phones (A Nokia 3320 in my case)

I deployed the game one of my Windows Azure websites and you can access it here. Initially I was thinking of buying a hosting account on a different place, but I think the cloud is a good place for host this kind of pet projects and Windows Azure is a great option, (IMHO) for 2 things: 1) Is extremely easy to use (saying creating websites, databases, deploying, etc) 2) It is free for 90 days, which is great if you are starting on the cloud “wave”. Let’s see what happen when the cloud bills begin to come.

So then, enjoy the game online for at least the next 60 days (when my free account expires :P)
