snlevel1 up to snlevel14
If you have Multiview then use AIF.SNA to run this game, if not create a
16 colour hires graphics screen and run the program from there. The screens
must be in the current data directory from where the program is run from. If
more levels are added ie snlevel15 it will be read in as the level after
snlevel14 etc.
This game is my first attempt to actualy program in C on my COCO3. You are
a Snake who is out to eat Eggs. You have an enemy called a Bug which runs on
the screen. If the Bug runs into your head or if your head runs into the bug
you are dead and the level starts over. You may not run into a wall or
yourself; if this happens you are dead. Each time you eat an egg you will
grow in length if you do not get to the egg before the timer runs out the
egg counter will be incremented. Your score is based on the amount of time
it takes to get to the egg. If you do not get to the egg before the timer
runs out you will loose points.
Once all of the eggs are eaten you will progress to the next level. I have
included 14 levels with this game as well as a program to generate more
levels.
To move the snake you may use the arrow keys and/or the Q and A keys
for up and down.
Snakescreen:
This program will allow you to edit the screens and create more screens.
It is a little buggy but gets the job done. The following commands are used
to controll this program:
L - Load a level
S - Save a level
R - Reset the screen to blank
Arrow keys - Move the cursor around
0 to G - Colour to be used for painting screen. Note that 0 is used to
erase the screen and G to move the cursor without erase
Q - To Quit
Bugs: The program will not allow you to save a screen over one that
already exists and abends. When a new screen is created the file attributes
are not set properly so you should set the to read only.
Please enjoy this program and feel free to copy it to bulliten boards etc.
I would like someone to copy the program to compuserve and delphi as I do not
have access to these forms. I will be posting it to the internet to
cabrales.cs.wisc.edu.

improved the speed of this program!! Once again thanks!!
