Documentation for version 1.0, on August 15th, 1991

WARNING
Although this program is freely distributable (see COPYRIGHT below), I
would appreciate if you take the time to write me a line or two (E-Mail
please) if you are using any of my programs or if you have any kind of
ideas or suggestions (This is not too much to ask, is it?). If you feel
particularly generous, I would like to receive a disk with any useful
programs you have written, preferrably with source. Thanks!
DESCRIPTION
Snake is a very simple game. A snake-like figure crawls over a surface
where some blocks are placed. The snake is controlled by using the
joystick, and you must avoid all the blocks, except the single one in a
different color. The colored block MUST be hit: when you do so, another
colored block will appear and your score will be increased by one. You
must also avoid to hit your own tail - the snake grows as time passes to
make things a little more fun. If you hit yourself or a wall or a block,
the game is over - restart pressing fire. To exit the game, close the
window. (I never thought it was so hard to describe such a simple game
using just words! Forget what you read and just play the game - it is not
that hard, anyway.) This program works both under WB 1.3 and 2.0.
OPTIONS
No options.
EXAMPLES
Sorry, no pictures.
BUGS
The joystick movements are read directly from the hardware ports. If
another program is also using the joystick, conflicts may arise.
