I really hope that everyone in this forum has played the game snake at some point in their life.

i would assume most of you have played it on casio at some point in your life.

have you noticed that all snake games are either limited in the snake length or slow down very quickly when you get longer?

well this game lets you have the best of both worlds!!!

Download

Enjoy!

PS if you want it hurry up its only up there for 2 weeks.! (supercasio should only have been up for 2 weeks, but it was up for months, so this one probably will be too)

Nothing special..

If your snake games slow down when you get longer, you're a suxxor programmer..

this game doesn't even properly check if you crash with yourself (you can run through some parts of your body)

this method of representaion is more suitable for graphics mode (since you can check for crashe by doing a simple testPxl), then again, graphics mode is even slower on the cfx

anyway, snake games aren't fast enough in basic..

when trying this game, the way I find myself dying most of the time, is when pressing a direction too early (before the last one was registered), so I back into myself, really anoying!

hey go to cpa, every snake game there either slows down or has a limited length.

besides i didn't write the game anyway.

to fix the bug, go into strict mode. if your not in strict mode you can't die

[BiTwhise]

I used strict mode, you can still run through parts of your body

-- EDIT --
This game has limited length as well.. it's limited by the size of the list

Many calc games are made by teenage programming n00bs... don't see any point in downloading them when you know they are shit
ok, some of them are good, but Casio Basic really don't cut it when it comes to making fast, enjoyable games..

[rjstephens]

wich parts? i'll tell the author

[BiTwhise]

last few parts of the snake..

anyway, this check routine would be faster in graphics mode

[Brazzucko]

There is any Gray Snake game??

[huhn_m]

is anyone interrested? I've a snake game for CFX/AFX in basic. It has not limit
of the length (beside the screen size). I also wrote an level editor.

It doesn't slow down either.

Size is ~6KB

it uses matix to store maps

[Brazzucko]

Cool just send it to me please???.

[Brazzucko]

They run on the CFX models?

[Brazzucko]

The BASIC games on the FX 9850G are very fast, not so fast like the AFX ( in graph games )....
