Your guide to Snake
Open Snake, check the instructions and begin a round. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Use the example below to understand a decision. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Try a more deliberate round
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The order of play
- 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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.
An example to follow
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
