Snake Game problem's

[Jinx93]

Hey, I’m new to hack this site... And was wondering if anyone could help me? For my computing Class we were asked to code using Windows forms, the old Nokia Snake game, so far I have managed to get the snake to draw I can move it around the screen I’ve also got the ‘treasure’ to appear and when ‘eaten’ reappear on a different part of the screen, but I’ve came across two problems 1) if the snake goes outside of the boundaries how do I get it to appear on the opposite side? 2) How do I get the snake to grow...? If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them since I’ve been slamming my head on the desk for the past two days…

Cheers Jinx

Set a value to the treasure, and when the snake eats the treasure, have the value of his length increase by the value of the treasure, say 1 for instance.

Also, make the boundaries kill the snake if it hits them, that's how it worked right?

ive tried the increase length, but when it came to redrawing it when moving the head went that direction and the body kept going :S

I'm pretty sure the way you can do that is just to move the head without moving the tail for one or more turns. BAM! Length has increased by however many turns you skipped in this way.

How about using an array to contain each segment of the snake. You could then add an element to the array when the food has been eaten.
