Try a more deliberate round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The challenge in front of you
Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Step by step
- Press Play to start the movement.
- Turn with arrow keys, swipes or the on-screen direction buttons.
- Each apple adds ten points and makes the snake longer.
- Pause when needed or start a new round.
Keyboard and screen controls
Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
One way to understand the rules
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
A useful caution
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
