SupaSnake

Firstly, this is what i've done so far (sorry about the colours, i went a bit crazy)

Anyway, i' sure most (if not all) of you would have played the snake games and it's variations.
What i was wondering is, if you know any great features that some snake games have had, could you please post them so i can add them to this game.

Also, evetually i'll use Gettickcount instead of a timer ( i know, bad me) and DirectX (maybe overkill, but hey) and perhaps have the ability to have more than 2 players (like 10 or something)

Anyway, any suggestions would be great :D (even if it is just: "change the colours!!")

I would say: Add some graphics =]
Also, when i pick up a block i see a yellow block flickering in the left corner of the screen. And.. when I died the whole program shut down. You might want to return to the first screen (with the selections). Good game!

-Shell-

erm...colours are a bit much :D ;)

I agree with Shell, when the game ends return to the start screen.

It's a good little game though, I like it.

It goes to fast. It took about 0.00001ms before the snake vas in the wall on the other side....

Use GetTickCount or anything...That would solve that problem...

Same with me... (the time problem).

Try to add a head, and a tail to the snake....and maybe when it eats the "thing" you could see the thing go thru the body (if you understand what I mean)...

1) The flickering is fixed. Just had trouble before with 1/2 player differences, but i've made it as many players as wanted (only limited by keyboard space)

2) I know, i know, i'll use gettickcount (just have to learn how to)

3) The colours are bad i know, but i'll fix them eventually (maybe)

4) Ok, good suggestion, i'll make it return to the start (or even to a score screen)

I'm eager to see your result sql_lall...but in the mean time, I post a little thing I did...It's a snake clone too...

It's not using GetTickCount either ...so if it goes to fast....push 1-9 keys for changing the speed...and 0 to pause the game. To exit before finished push Esc. You move player 1 keys with the arrows.

The game is really slow...that’s my fault...but I did this just to learn, not so everyone with a slow computer could play it...


PS: You need DX7 or later to play it...

When i run the .exe, an error comes up saying:
Runtime error 91:
Object Variable or With block variable no set
And then quits

(oh, i'm not sure what version of DirectX i have, so that would probably be the problem)

Also, i am just making a level-editor, so when that's finished i'll post the source probably
Oh, and *soon* i'm getting a book on DirectX in C++, so i'll try and write it in that if the game turns out OK

1 other thing. I was making a colour-maker (like, you input the RGB values and it shows u the colour) BUT whenever i set green > 127 there was an overflow error. V. Confusing. What type of variables must be used for colours?? I was just using 'long'.

OK...I could make some more debugging in to the game to solve your problem, but first I want too hear if someone else got the same problem....but you probably should upgrade your DX version anyway.

Looking forward to se the level editor...
