game based on centipede but in reverse.  Kind of like the Wormy game.
You eat food nuggets (mushrooms) and grow in length but as you go up in levels this gets harder and harder to accomplish.  Remember the spider from centipede?  Well he makes an appearance here too and if he hits your head, you're dead.  He also leaves webs around for you to stick yourself in as well.  Plus the quantity of this stuff increases as you go up in levels.  The tick also makes an appearance starting at level 2, dropping extra food for you.
at level 3 the spider is content to watch, usually.
4 he's hungry.

Game controls:
arrow keys on keyboard steer, and the p button pause/unpauses.
You must click the start button to start, however, and the end button is not for exiting the game, it is for stopping a started game.
I did not put a function in to save the high score to disk since i have heard of issues in vista doing this, and i don't have vista to test it on.

Known issues:  
The game doesn't reaquire the graphics if the window loses focus sometimes and you end up with really strange graphics.
the heartbeat sound is SUPPOSED to play continuously.  It's evidently a problem with the .wav itself since i replaced it with a different one in testing and it worked.

Innovations in design:
The snake is smooth-moving as is all sprites in the game, such as the spider.
the game window can in fact be resized while playing without affecting anything at all.  Try it and see.  
Skinnable:  All graphics are external.

stupidity in coding: 
 The program contains two timers but only ever uses one of them at a time.  I kept them both to try and make the code slightly easier to keep separate.  One runs when the game is playing, and the other runs when it doesn't, keeping the screen drawn.

Hope you enjoy!
