    Ok the problem you are facing is you are trying to compile it is VC++ or some other compiler.. COmpile in in compilers like Turbo c++ ot the ones that support BGI library and thos which compile dos programs.. I think VC++ and Borland Builder have an option to compile dos programs try it...


    And i learned to use BGI color library "graphics.h" by looking at the definition in the help and playing around with its functions....



    Any more doubts?????

    245 points, woo-hoo! Let's see, for the reviews:

    It's a neat game for it's size, thought it was quite interesting. A couple of thigs to improve on though:

    1. sometimes as the snake goes across the apple the apple disappears but is not *eaten*. This happens then you go over the right-most part of the apple. In his case, you have to come back and walk over the empty spot to *eat* the apple.

    2. Not sure how this should be done, but isn't the smake supposed to die when it runs into it's own body? Right now the only way it happens if oyu run into the wall. I was able to make some interesting loops with the snake at a bigger length, (past 100 points)...

    Oh well, back to playing snake
    This is my signature. Remind me to change it.

    Really nice piece of code.


    Comments about the game:

    1) I'd try to change the bip noise, it's annoying

    2) maybe a bigger apple would be nicer. I've got problems to see that little thing on my 17"

    3) good luck trying to solve that bug with hitting back the snake


    Comments about the code:

    1) uauh, I thought it'd be much more complex than what you've done

    2) I wouldn't know how to start if I wanted to do it by myself

    3) I use Turbo C++ version 4.5 and I've got the same error you guys were talking about; so I couldn't compile it myself

    Nice job

    Ok i get your problem... Well you are using Borland 4.5 which i think compiles 32bit programs.. To compile my program use Turbo c++ v 3.0 or 3.5.. Well here is the link to download it

    Still if does not work.. message me.. I aill mail you my compiler.. It will be just 3.5 MB....

    And thanx for your coments.. I am workin on it... Well the code can still get smaller if you structure it properly...

    5 seconds with the highest speed... WOW.. i was not able to sustain even 2 seconds... Thats great....


    And do you guys think i should make a key for manualy lengthning and shortening of the snake.. Like the speed is controlled...
