Classic Snake

If you would ask me to design you a solution for the classic snake game (with discrete tiles), using GRASP patterns, SOLID patterns, GOF patterns and what not, I would produce you a UML model like this, which I could trivially implement in any OOP langauage such as Java, Python, C++, ecc...

Now, before moving on, I can hear you scream from here that this is probably a XY problem and if you're thinking "Dude all this desgin stuff is simply an overkill! I could implement snake in rust in 300 LOC with way better performance than you will ever achieve" you're probably right, but to designing application like this means also to be able to handle upredictable, growing complexities without a complete rewriting of the implementation.

"Where in the hell would you find upredictable, growing complexities in your personal classic snake game project?" you would ask, and i would answer you nowhere! But bear in mind that the class diagrams proposed in this question isn't something crazy and contains constuct used almost in any OOP project in my experience.

Imagine what it would take to run multiple snakes in parallel on the same board, for example. The same kinds of abstractions that make that possible also tend to solve the ownership issues that you hit in Rust.

Then, after handling collision resolution, the Board struct can easily ask the appropriate square what it needs to do, and then delegate to the appropriate method of Snake. Assuming you pass the square by index and the grid by reference, the snake is then free to mutate things as needed. Something like

1982's Tron arcade game, based on the film, includes snake gameplay for the single-player Light Cycle segment, and some later snake games borrow the theme. After a version simply called Snake was preloaded on Nokia mobile phones in 1998, there was a resurgence of interest in snake games as it found a larger audience.

The original Blockade from 1976 and its many clones are two-player games. Viewed from a top-down perspective, each player controls a "snake" with a fixed starting position. The "head" of the snake continually moves forward, unable to stop, growing ever longer. It must be steered left, right, up, and down to avoid hitting walls and the body of either snake. The player who survives the longest wins. Single-player versions are less prevalent and have one or more snakes controlled by the computer, as in the light cycles segment of the 1982 Tron arcade game.

In the most common single-player game, the player's snake is of a certain length, so the tail also moves, and with every item "eaten" by the head of the snake the snake gets longer. Snake Byte has the snake eating apples. Nibbler has the snake eating abstract objects in a maze.

The single-player Snake Byte was published in 1982 for Atari 8-bit computers, Apple II, and VIC-20; a snake eats apples to complete a level, growing longer in the process. In Snake for the BBC Micro (1982), by Dave Bresnen, the snake is controlled using the left and right arrow keys relative to the direction it is heading in. The snake increases in speed as it gets longer, and there is only one life.

Nibbler (1982) is a single-player arcade game where the snake fits tightly into a maze, and the gameplay is faster than most snake designs. Another single-player version is part of the 1982 Tron arcade game, themed with light cycles. It reinvigorated the snake concept, and many subsequent games borrowed the light cycle theme.

Starting in 1991, Nibbles was included with MS-DOS for a period of time as a QBasic sample program. In 1992, Rattler Race was released as part of the second Microsoft Entertainment Pack. It adds enemy snakes to the familiar apple-eating gameplay.

Compared with Panda Hell this project has a much more simple and short scope. The main MVP was completed during week 1, however this is not that big of a deal either as you can find tutorials in YouTube to do this classic snake-based game in ~20 minutes for all programming languages out there.

The main idea here is to grab a simple mechanic from an existing game, replicate it, add a few twists here and there, and create something different, but still keeping it simple and with narrow scope. For this project I choose the Snake Game, that classic you could play in your Nokia 3310, where must eat apples to generate score, but as you do, your size also increases, making it more difficult little by little.

During week 1: I created the main MVP, the classic snake game where the snake (player) grows as eats apples, and dies if gets out of the playing area, as well as it gets entangled with its own tail .

Imagine the classic snake game, you move and pick apples, you earn score when you do. The first twist is a time counter, if the timer reaches 0 you die, so you can die if 1) You touch the borders, 2) You touch your own tail, or 3) The timer reaches zero.

I think many of us played the Snake games on our mobile phones, it was such an addictive little game. Developer Crazysoft created a new Snake game, heavily influenced by the old mobile game. Something I honestly expected that someone else would have done a long time ago. Everything is as you remember, you move your snake towards food and avoid obstacles. Eating food makes you larger and faster, making the game increasingly difficult. Seeing it on Xbox is heartwarming, not only because of nostalgic reasons but it is just really fun to play too.

After 25 years of living and skiing most of the classics in the range, I had never skied the Snake and that needed to change. In late April the heavy spring snows subsided long enough to provide a window of opportunity to attempt the line. I rallied backcountry ski partners Josh Kling and Grady James for the project and plans were made for a big day during the next stretch of stable weather.

I never have been a part of this voice. I loath the idea of remakes. Actually that is not completely true. I have, for example, proposed a remake in HD using hand-drawn artworks instead of 8-bit sprites similar to the HD remake of Street Fighter 2. This is not the type of remake I am discussing here though, nor is it the type of remake people demand. I am instead talking about taking the classic titles and essentially making brand new three-dimensional games out of them for a new generation of gaming.

I first want to point out an observation here. From what I have noticed, it seems like those of us who really enjoy the classic titles do not want them remade whereas those who either dislike them or never even bothered to play through them cheer on the idea of a remake. I am sure there are exceptions, but my anecdote kind of makes sense because the type of remake that fans are asking for will essentially create brand new games to replace the old ones. There is no other way to do it. We have gone through so much since 1990.

It seems weird because these games seem much larger yet everything is in scale on the maps. The thing to take into consideration is that the classic games featured its map within individual screens with a limited set of actions available to the player to make. If Camp Omega from Ground Zeroes was somehow ported into Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, the discrepancy in size would make sense.

What value would remaking the classics add to the series? We already know what happens. So what, exactly, are remakes going to bring to the table that we do not already have? I am all for ending the canon or at least having a freer one but if the choice was between a prequel starring The Boss or remaking the classics, I would pick the prequel. I know The Boss did stuff in World War II. I know she gave birth to Ocelot. I know she kills her baby-daddy later. That is about it. Make a game out of that and there will be a lot of actual, new material. New installments at least add something to the series.

Making older games more accessible to newer generations should be encouraged. Even minor touch ups to make the game more enjoyable on newer devices and coherent with the current canon are welcome additions. To completely turn them into new experiences though not only takes away resources that could be used on a new title but disregards the classic with a replacement even though said replacement will itself eventually become outdated anyways. You do not need to rewrite history in order to enjoy it.

One of these classics is undoubtedly the Snake Couloir off of Mt. Sneffels. A google search of the Snake will provide you with numerous trip reports, route information, and photos. The Snake Couloir is an uber classic and it gets skied plenty of times throughout the winter, and even more in the spring corn season. Access issues until May 1st keep it a little less traveled, as it is an arduous approach relative to other seasons.

The rappel in is exciting and a full 30 meters from the summit (there is a shorter option if you wanted to bring a shorter rope). As expected the shady aspect of the north side of the mountain was holding deep, cold snow. We were concerned about a potential wind slab problem up high in the couloir, and as soon as I touched down at the top I was stomping around while still on rappel. There was a shallow and soft wind slab a few inches thick over a consistent and well-bonded snowpack in the uppermost portion of the couloir. As the rest of the people trickled in on the rope, Zach made one ski cut near the top, and I followed with another one slightly lower. With things appearing pretty locked up, I enjoyed steep and deep turns to the dogleg portion of the Snake. As the others came down one at a time, we were all ecstatic to be scoring such great conditions on such a classic line. At the dogleg, Zach and I continued down through the choke of the Snake Couloir proper. The other party went up and over and skied another line known as the Trilogy.

Rosy boas (Charina spp.), formerly known as Lichanura spp., of the Boidae family have been kept in captivity for many years and have always been one of the best snakes for beginners, due in most part to their docility. This has also proven to be one of their unintentional downfalls, as their docility in the wild has led to their decreased numbers. There are many forms of this classic snake and all are the most calm and easily handled snake that I have ever encountered in my years within the industry. On average Rosy boas Lichanura spp. never attain a total length of four feet and usually are found to be between and average of two to three feet at maximum size. They have been recorded to live in captivity past 20 years of age. Their native range finds them in the American Southwest region and into Baja and Sonora Mexico. In the United States they are found in California and Arizona both in the Colorado Desert and Mojave Desert. There are also populations found within the coastal communities of Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego counties. Rosy Boas Lichanura spp. are found in talus or rock slopes, alluvial fans, boulder piles and in desert sage scrub as well as chaparral habitat areas. 2351a5e196
