SNAKE

[CodyBarrett]

my recent work on TRON inspired me to try my hand at the simple SNAKE game.

--however the first time it eats a block, for the life of me i can't figure out where i went wrong, it doesn't grow at all.

--i'm sure there is more bugs, anyone see any?

I fixed the food problem.

Change:

Global $nSNAKE_LENGTH = 1

To:

Global $nSNAKE_LENGTH = 2

I have no idea why it works, but I have these problems a lot and usually it helps to just +1 on some initial value. So I tried this value and it worked.

Edit: Btw, you can disappear. Go to the bottom edge of the map, travel 1 block down so you should reappear on top of the map, you don't immediately reappear and then you go left or right.

Edit2: Badger. Badger. Badger. Badger.

THANKS manadar!

#1 FIXED

#2 and... thats strange :S gonna look into that one

EDIT

#2 fixed.

i also fixed something i found, hitting your own tail erased chunks. not anymore.

Nice program. It's very concise and also fun.

I noticed it couldn't handle fast turning, though. If people have very nimble fingers you need to store the next direction before it has moved forward. I modified the part that handles turning as follows:

Func INPUT ()
    If _IsPressed ('57') Then
        TURN_SNAKE(0)
    ElseIf _IsPressed ('44') Then
        TURN_SNAKE(1)
    ElseIf _IsPressed ('53') Then
        TURN_SNAKE(2)
    ElseIf _IsPressed ('41') Then
        TURN_SNAKE(3)
    EndIf
EndFunc
Func TURN_SNAKE ($nDIRECTION)
    If $bIS_TURNING Then
        $nNEXT_DIRECTION = $nDIRECTION
    ElseIf Mod($nDIRECTION - $nCURRENT_DIRECTION, 2) <> 0 Then
        $nCURRENT_DIRECTION = $nDIRECTION
        $nNEXT_DIRECTION = $nDIRECTION
        $bIS_TURNING = True
    EndIf
EndFunc ;==>TURN_SNAKE

Then I added the following global variables:

Global $nNEXT_DIRECTION = 1
Global $bIS_TURNING = False

Finally I changed the LOOP function to turn to the next direction (if any):

Func LOOP ()
    Local $nX = Move(0,$nCURRENT_X,$nCURRENT_Y)
    Local $nY = Move(1,$nCURRENT_X,$nCURRENT_Y)
    $bIS_TURNING = False
    TURN_SNAKE($nNEXT_DIRECTION)
...

[CodyBarrett]

interesting, i didn't notice any kind of lag, but i guess i am running it on a fairly speedy PC.

thanks its even faster now

[Achilles]

Are you supposed to be able to die? Because I can't seem to manage it.. You could add walls to make it more interesting.. not just on the sides but throughout the middle of the maze too..

You can't die exactly, you just get stopped by or stuck inside your tail.

BTW, I found another bug. There's actually a race condition that can occur if you change direction of the snake after $nX has been modified but before $nY has been modified. It's so rare you would almost never see it, but it did occur for me once. You can prevent this by setting the boolean that prevents changing direction before calling Move, like so:

Func LOOP ()
    $bIS_TURNING = True
    Local $nX = Move(0,$nCURRENT_X,$nCURRENT_Y)
    Local $nY = Move(1,$nCURRENT_X,$nCURRENT_Y)
    $bIS_TURNING = False
    TURN_SNAKE($nNEXT_DIRECTION)
...

[CodyBarrett]

its nearly impossible to loze, i find the challenge is getting so big that you can barely avoid getting stuck, it takes some skill to move from multiple sides to avoid getting stuck. just me though, maybe i'm to slow to play this game

i've never noticed that glitch.. thanks for the heads up though. ive added that line.

[AoRaToS]

CodyBarrett this is good

I tried it out to see how far I can get

apparently, there is a bug, when I got to 1 line left, it created a white box on a red box, it's stuck on that same spot, i can't eat it i just go under it

i have a pic and i'll video it also lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1wTkdIRfrg

EDIT: added video, removed picture

Edited March 5, 2011 by AoRaToS

[CodyBarrett]

simple fix for that, just add a conditional IF GRID[RANDOM][RANDOM] = 0 then use that pos. i'll add it in when i update it, i've also made a few more changes.

[AoRaToS]

easy to say and simple fix, but I'm bored to get to that stage again, LoL

just wanted to see how far I can get and it cheated me

[AdmiralAlkex]

I made a quick conversion to SDL. I commented the GDI+ code and put the SDL equivalent under as a comparison.

Biggest difference for this script seems to be about 30% less RAM usage.

Have fun!

Hmmm... O.o interesting. Thanks for that different way Admiral, i'll look into it.
