Just another snake clone.

Post by veethree »

So this is my most advanced snake clone (I've probably made around 12 of these)

Unlike my previous snake clones, This one has a level system, There's walls you can crash into. I'd like to expand on that in the future, Perhaps add a puzzle element to the game.

Currently there are only 2 levels which you can play in an infinite loop. Or you could make your own..all you need is ms paint :D

in-Game:

Known bugs:
- Snake can sometimes turn around on itself (if that makes sense...)


Any feedback and bug reports are welcome!

Simple, but fun. Nice job!

Though I was quickly reminded of how terrible I am at Snake-style games :awesome:

I spent 15 minutes trying to turn around inside myself. I gave up and started playing normally. After 2 minutes, I turned around inside myself.

It's a bitch ain't it? If anyone has suggestions on how i could fix that bug i'd appreciate it. I mean i'm pretty sure i know why it happens, just don't know how to prevent it from happening.

You can create a "turn queue" and turn just once every 'tick'

Thank you. I'd say i wrote the basic mechanics like half an hour, then spent a few hours just refining it and trying to make it look pretty. lol
EDIT: Actually an hour and a half might be more realistic, I actually re-wrote the entire chunk of code that deals with the snake moving and colliding with stuff like 3 times before i ended up with what i have now.

Btw, Here's an updated version, I believe I've fixed the snake turning around on itself bug, added 1 level, And made pausing possible, Aside from that it's just visual changes.

Speaking of visuals, Is the game kinda dark for you guys? I just tested it on my laptop and it looked a bit darker than i intended it to..but looks fine on my desktop..

Yay, more snake! Pretty soon this forum will have the largest known deposit of snake-like games in the entire universe.

Great job :)
Do you recognise when the world won't stop for you? Or when the days don't care what you've got to do? When the weight's too tough to lift up, what do you? Don't let them choose for you, that's on you.
