- Yet Another Snake Game
- (C) Copyright Simone Puglioli 2001

- ___________
- Description
-
- This application for Psion series 5 is a very simple clone of the old famous
- arcade game known as 'Snake' or 'Worm'.
- In a rectangular arena you control the movements of a restless snake who wants
- nothing but to eat all the numbers (its food!) that randomly appear (and after
- a while disappear) on the screen. When the snake eats a food number, its
- length increases of the same value. Be careful when moving around the screen:
- the snake dies if it hits the side walls of the arena or bites its body (so
- don't try to reverse your direction)! You can change the direction of the
- snake using either the keyboard (with the arrow keys) or the pen (just tap on
- the screen and the snake moves its way towards the pen). When using the latter
- option keep in mind that the snake is attracted by the first touch on the
- screen, not by the pen movement.
-
- Main features:
- - different level of difficulty (speed, size, scoring)
- - movement controlled by keyboard or pen
- - sound enabling based on system setting
- - very small size (only 8 K)
- - automatically fit to every EPOC32 machine screen (from Revo to 7)

- Notes
-
- Because of memory limits, the game score has an hard coded ceiling of 1000.
- Should this become an hindrance for anybody, please let me know.
- If you provide me with an uncounterfeit screen shot showing an index
- overflow error with a score close to 1000, I'll be happy to release a
- new version with higher score bounds and with your name engraved in the
- game gallery of fame (i.e. the About screen) ;-)
