Snake game

A simple snake game made with ncurses (Tested on windows only for now).

How to play?

• Download and unzip the zip file from releases
• Then run the bat file

This will open up the game window

After that you'll be asked to select the difficulty which determines how fast the snake will move
Press any key to start the game.

While playing if you press ESCAPE or Q it'll open the main menu

You can :

• continue playing
• restart the game (it'll reset all your points and levels)
• quit

and if you hit a wall or snake body then it'll be game over

How to add custom levels?

In the levels folder create a <level-name>.snake file
Inside that file you need to add some commands to draw walls

To draw horizontal line use

hline(x, y, '<character>' or ASCII, length)

To draw vertical line use

vline(x, y, '<character>' or ASCII, length)

• x - x position of the line
• y - y position of the line
• character - character to draw
  • ASCII - ascii value of the character
• length - length of the line

To draw box use

box

To draw border use

border(ls, rs, ts, bs, tl, tr, bl, br)

• ls - left side,
• rs - right side,
• ts - top side,
• bs - bottom side,
• tl - top left-hand corner,
• tr - top right-hand corner,
• bl - bottom left-hand corner, and
• br - bottom right-hand corner.

default values :

ls, rs, ts, bs → default_hline or default_vline
tl → default_ul
tr → default_ur
bl → default_ll
br → default_lr

And finally you must return the starting position of the snake

return(x, y, <increment or decrement>, lock_x, lock_y)

• x - x co-ordinate of the snake
• y - y co-ordinate of the snake
• increment or decrement - the values will be +1 or -1 to determine whether to draw the snake left, right, up or down
• lock_x - the values will be true or false to determine whether to start moving in the x-axis
• lock_y - the values will be true or false to determine whether to start moving in the y-axis

Some useful macros: $w & $h

• $w - contains the game window width
• $h - contains the game window height
