Snake Game

[katerinabee1538]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I have a game due on monday, but I've been having a problem with it.


What is the problem you are having?
Whenever the snake hits itself, it's supposed to exit the game but it's not working..


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
I did this because the "maze" is green, but my snake is red. I tried doing the same thing but instead of green, put red, but it doesn't work : if whatdotcolour (x+6, y-6) = green then
put "YOU LOSE"

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP, SINCE IT'S DUE ON MONDAY

make the snake head a different color

It all depends on how your program works in terms of the snake's body. The program should detect that the head has collided with the body like it does when it hits a wall. Use the debugging menu and go step by step through your program and try and figure out why the collision isn't being detected.

@Wakening um, do you know how whatdotcolour works?

[katerinabee1538]

here's what I have so far, but I still have a problem when the snake collides into itself, it doesn't exit. How would you change the colour o the snake's head? :S sorry I'm kinda a noob at programming


setscreen ("graphics: 1000; 650")
var x, y : int
var key : array char of boolean

Draw.FillBox (0, 0, 1000, 20, green)
Draw.FillBox (0, 0, 20, 650, green)
Draw.FillBox (980, 0, 1000, 650, green)
Draw.FillBox (0, 630, 1000, 650, green)
Draw.FillBox (500, 0, 550, 325, green)
Draw.FillBox (200, 500, 250, 650, green)
Draw.FillBox (750, 500, 800, 650, green)

x := 100
y := 100


loop

Input.KeyDown (key)
if key (KEY_UP_ARROW)
then
y := y + 5
elsif key (KEY_DOWN_ARROW)
then
y := y - 5
elsif key (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW)
then
x := x + 5
elsif key (KEY_LEFT_ARROW)
then
x := x - 5
end if


Draw.FillOval (x, y, 5, 5, 40)
View.Update
delay (15)


if whatdotcolour (x - 6, y + 6) = green then
cls
colour (40)


put " .oOOOo. Oo Oo oO o.OOoOoo "
put " .O o o O O O o o O "
put " o O o o o O O o "
put " O oOooOoOo O Oo O ooOO "
put " O .oOOo o O O o O "
put " o. O O o o O o "
put " O. oO o O o O O "
put " `OooO' O. O O o ooOooOoO "
put skip
put skip
put " .oOOOo. o 'O o.OOoOoo `OooOOo. "
put " .O o. O o O o `o "
put " O o o O o O O "
put " o O o o ooOO o .O "
put " O o O O' O OOooOO' "
put " o O `o o o o o "
put " `o O' `o O O O O "
put " `OoooO' `o' ooOooOoO O o "


exit
end if

end loop

Y U NO USE CODE TAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!

... oh gods, now that i looked at your code i am shocked
anyways i would change the circles to squares, make the head move as much as the square size so you could color up the snake behind you as you go...

pretty simple really

[Alex C.]

seriously, i would use actual collision detection instead of what dot color for the walls since you can break the game easily with your code

Don't double post. Just edit your original one.



There's nothing wrong with whatdotcolor(). It's accurate.

It took me about 5 seconds to fix your entire game. All I did was exactly what you wanted.

I drew the character's head [blue], and every time I moved I drew the head red, and then moved the head over.

[katerinabee1538]

how would you change the colour of the head? can you fix it for me, because I have no idea how to do it lol

[Aange10]

No, I'm not going to fix it for you.

How do you change the color? Did you write this code?

You change the color by drawing it with a different parameter for the color.

I FIXED IT! yay thanks so much
