Learn the rules of Snake
Make Snake your next activity in the game library. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Use the example below to understand a decision.
An idea for your next attempt
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. 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. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
Your inputs
Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Work through an example
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
Where a round can go wrong
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
