About Snake Game
Snake is the arcade classic: steer a growing line around the board, eat what appears, and avoid running into a wall or into yourself. Each meal makes the problem harder, because the obstacle you must avoid is your own past.
How it is played
Use the arrow keys — or swipe on a touchscreen — to change direction. The snake never stops, so you are steering rather than moving. You cannot reverse directly into your own neck; every turn must be a left or right. Eating grows the tail by one segment and usually speeds the game up.
How do I avoid trapping myself?
Before you turn, ask whether the space you are entering has an exit. The fatal mistake is enclosing a region with your own body and then running out of room inside it. Keeping the tail along one wall preserves a corridor you can always follow.
Does the snake get faster?
Yes, in most versions speed increases as you grow, which shrinks your reaction window exactly when the board is most crowded. This is why a consistent pattern beats improvisation: at high speed you are following a plan you already made, not solving the board live.
