Random positions

I am making a snake game. I need to know how to make little fruit pop up in different area on the form. also I would like to know how to make a barrier for the snake so if it hits the wall it will die. Thanx in advance for any replies.

For the fruits use a random number generator.

For the barrier, simply do an out-of-bounds check for the head each step.

Your code for the random fruit position should look like this:

VB Code:

Private Function MoveFruit()
    Randomize
    
    X = Int(Rnd * MapWidth) * FruitWidth
    Y = Int(Rnd * MapHeight) * FruitHeight
    Fruit.Move X, Y
End Function

MapWidth and MapHeight would be the number of tiles wide the map is, not pixels.
