$4.1M in Rive opportunities
Built the classic Snake game entirely inside Rive using scripting and data binding.
This was an experiment pushing Rive beyond animation into interactive systems.
Movement, food spawning, and game state are all driven by Lua while the UI stays synced through a ViewModel.

UI pass update ✅
Dark neon arcade look is coming together: board + HUD + new snake/food styling.
Next: wire the UI into the Lua engine + add start/restart + test responsive web embed.
Rive just launched a $5K game challenge, so I started rebuilding Snake using Rive’s built-in Lua scripting.
Current progress:
– 20×20 grid system (25px tiles)
– Direction controlled via ViewModel triggers
– Tick-based movement loop
– Body follow logic in progress
