You can either have an Array For This Grid; or you can have guidelines for this Grid. You keep track of the points of part snake either in a object or an array (your choice) When you eat food in Snake you do not "grow" persay; you dont delete the last part of snake on next movement. i don't understand what you mean by make screen smaller... im confused about that. or are you using RTP ? ----------------------------------- HellblazerX Sun May 28, 2006 4:13 pm ----------------------------------- Well, its assumed your using either JFrame or an applet to make this game (after all, graphics need a container of some sorts). You can just use the setSize method (should be in both JFrame and applet).
