Hi!

I would like to enter this years compo, and try to make a snake clone, the problem is that I dont know how. I cant understand how I would make the snake turn directions, and grow like the snake games of past. Any pointers? Could someone explain how I would go about doing a snake game?

Thanks

That helps, but I would like to know how I would do a snake game in 3D, and instead of making the sharp 90 degree turns like other snake games, I want the snake to turn in a smooth fasion.

Maybe I should explain more of what Im looking for. I need to know how to make a snake game where the snake has different segments, my snake game will have you running over evil pedestrians, and each pedestrian you run over another cop car begins tailing you, so instead of a moving line, it will be a moving trail of cars. It also needs to control differently than regular snake games, sense its a car, it cant turn at a 90 degree angle like regular old snake. Im not asking for the code, Im just asking for a description of how to do that.
