Workshop › Snake › Step 15 of 28

Draw the food

What we are doing

Now the food appears: a red cell, drawn after the background and before the snake.

```js
ctx.fillStyle = 'red'
ctx.fillRect(food.x * CELL, food.y * CELL, CELL, CELL)
```

What it means

• The same two drawing steps as always: pick red, fill one cell at food's column and row.

Your turn

In draw, after the background's fillRect line, leave an empty line and write the two red lines.
