LÖVE

I've been creating the snake game in love and i wasn't able to draw the tail correctly due to not being able to give each tail block the correct x and y.
Basically there is this array of tail blocks that starts at 0 and gains one unit each time the snake eats food, this unit has x and y coordinates.
each update cycle, the snake moves, the tail moves(new x,y for each unit) and the tail gets longer if food is eaten.

I tried several times but my spaghetti code didn't cut it.
I know I should have used a timer variable and a proper grid but i wanted this one to be different.

TLDR: in main.lua exists an updateTail function, where unit.x and unit.y reside.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and a huge hug is waiting for any wonderful person who gives me advice regarding this subject.

Reverse the order of the tail-update in line 31 from to and it will work.

In your version the position of an element will be set on the position of the previous element and all tail-elements will be on the same position after the update.

And if you know that you are writing spaghetti code: Try to write better code / refactor your code. This will help you tremendously

Sometimes, you just need to stop, call your grandma, walk your dog, then come back to have a fresh look, pretty sure this was one of these moments, thanks for the help <3
