My WIP snake game

My progress on the snake game so far. Made it in about 4 or 5 hours.
I don't know know if anyone wants to play it so I won't post the game + you need a emulator to play this game. But if anyone wants to play it or see my code please PM me.
Features:
* Controls
* Menu
* Snake logic (sounds funny when I type it " Dude it has snake logic!! ")
* It has fruit + fruit logic
* Collision
* It keeps score I just don't print it
What I need to do:
* Make a game over screen wich shows your score, lets you save it and replay the game
* Make the slithering snake die
* Make a logo
* Make everything bigger ( Right now I'm not using any sprites )
* Add sound effects
* Give the menu an exit ( So I can leave the game )
* Fix glitches

Here you can test it out, but be warned there are still lots of bugs in it . Tell me if you find any weird glitches. http://goo.gl/8ejcLQ

That looks very nice, good job!

Thanks .I don't think of myself as a awesome programmer yet but a good enough to do the things i do . I still don't know how to use pointers (mainly because i haven't started reading my C book) and I have a understanding of how to use OOP but i don't usde it. OOP is pretty new to me, but ill have to use it once i finish this game, because i want to make a two player gamemode of this . To me this is a great acheivement because a year ago i barely knew programming and was doing a snake on a 8*8 dot matrix. I didnt know for loops or how functions worked and stuff and my teacher from then didnt really help me, but now im like "i was so stupid this is easy". I set myself a goal that i'd make this game without any help (meaning not checking examples or anyones code and no tutorials) and its going good so far.

Pretty good.
For exiting to the menu, I suggest doing this:

Code: Select all

About where you put your controls...
if(gb.buttons.pressed(BTN_C)){
  gb.titlescreen("Snake");
}

That will send you back to the Title Screen, where then you can exit the game.
You can switch out gb.titlescreen("Snake"); for gb.changeGame(); if you want it to exit the game immediately.
Also, for score, you could do something like this:

Code: Select all

gb.display.cursorX = 0;
gb.display.cursorY = 0;
gb.display.print(score);

That would probably be with your looping code.

Thanks but i was already planning on doing that only difference is that the score position changes depending on where you and the fruit is. Also I'll remove the battery icon but i haven't done it yet. I'm a bit busy this weekend so i didn't resume this game that much but i did a bit of coding and now you it can detect if the snake bit iself but theres a glitch in my code (my bet is on the void initiation) so i'll have to fix it up tomorrow. You can check out my code if you want. But it's very messy. I'm planning on making it more readable and the unctions more usable once i'm done with the basics. Here's the code http://goo.gl/oP25ba (the .ino isn't called snake because it all started out me testing the collision with a moving block and i just didn't change it)

So I sat down today and finished the game.
What I did:
* Made a game over screen wich shows your score and lets you replay the game
* Made the snake die
* Added sound effects
* Made the menu an exit ( So I can leave the game )
* Fixed glitches
I pretty much finished this game. Except for the logo and the sprites. Anyone want to help out?
