- Subject: xsnake: AIX X-windows 2D game
-
- Xsnake is another programme if found lying around which I thought some people
- may like.
-
- It is a simple 2D game for X-windows in which you must control the movements
- of a snake around the screen in order to eat rats. As you eat more rats your
- tail grows longer and your score increases. Unfortunately this makes the
- game more difficult becuase you must not let the snake touch anything else
- on the screen.
-
- It's based on a very old idea but I can't remember what the game was generally
- known as (it was probably just snake) although on the TRS80 it was knows as
- hussle. Warning: I find it very addictive.
-
- Since I don't have access to anything else I'm afraid I only have this RS/6000
- version. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to port.
-
- Using AIX on an RS/6000 to compile just type
-
- cc -xsnake.c -o xsnake -lX11
-
- (help text is included).
-
- Cheers, Dave.
