Hey folks!
I'm proud to release v1.0 of my spin on the classic Snake... Snek Vs.
Game has 3 game modes to select from:
- Redux - A spin on the classic game where everything will only update as you press directions, including rival movement.
- Original - Classic snake movement.
- PvP - Classic snake movement with 2 human players
You can also configure:
- Number of Snakes. (2-4 depending on game mode)
- The speed at which the game updates. (changes snake speed)
- The score goal.
- Snake starting length.
- Snake growth per collection.
Finally, you can also change the background colour while in game using button o.
Option available are:
- Black
- Blue
- Black/Blue Checker Board
I have commented as much of my code as possible, I borrowed the particle system from a tutorial but the rest is my own doing
The rival AI isn't fantastic, I did have it working quite well by checking x and y coordinates of other snakes, but this hit a hardware limitation as the snakes got bigger so it now checks pixel colours in most cases. I also feel the not so great AI does make the game feel more fun/hectic rather than getting destroyed by AI
[UPDATES]
V1.1 - AI code modified slightly to include both background colour checks.
I really enjoyed this, I liked the super hot style time only moving when I move. I’ve been building my own snake game your ai is super interesting!
@Piotruś Thanks! :D It's by no way a perfect AI logic, but it was lightweight enough that it didn't hugely impact performance if someone wanted to put huge numbers into the settings haha!
