[Finished] Snake!

Make a text-based game. It can be anything you want, so long as it only uses text and unicode characters. It can be web, console, or whatever else. Check the board for rules!

Snake!

Description:
A version of the game "Snake" using text as graphics. Eat food to increase the length of your snake, but be careful not to crash!

I programmed a version of the game "Snake". In this game, the player controls a snake that must eat as many pieces of food as possible. Every time you eat a piece of food, the snake becomes longer and accelerates. The player must avoid crashing into a wall or their tail.

I included a few different modes to make the game more interesting.
Normal Mode- Every "0" you eat will increase the length and speed of your snake. Eat as much as you can!
Letter Mode- The food will now be random letters that will be added to your tail.
Rainbow Mode- Just like Normal Mode, but with more flashing colors.
Hyperspeed Mode- Why play with a steadily increasing speed when you could start and end with the same ridiculously fast speed?
Small Arena Mode- Small Arena Mode gives you less room to maneuver, but a slower non-increasing speed will allow you more time to plan.

I used the EZRL "Easy Rouge-Like Library" with SDL to program this game in C++. My game did not end up being a Rouge-Like, but EZRL still worked well for me.

In this version I fixed the issue of the player being able to back onto himself and die. This version was uploaded on 4/11 so it does not qualify for the competition (unless Moosader is okay with it).

I like Snake clones, as they are one of the few games that I would play over and over even if it was ASCII graphics.

Hope to see this finished in the competition! :mrgreen:

A really solid game, although I can go back on myself when going down and pressing left up really quickly, I don't know if this is a bug but it was annoying as you shouldn't be able to.
An ascii game that I would go back to ^_^

I'm glad you liked it! I actually went back to my code and managed to fix it so you can not go back onto yourself and die. I am adding a link for this new fixed version. I suppose the new version won't count for the competition, but I will upload it for anyone who wants to play with the fix. Thanks for the feedback.
