Collision Detection-Less Snake
« on: November 06, 2010, 11:45:17 pm »
i recently made a snake game in java in which you can't collide with yourself. it's very bare-bones, and i'd like to see how compatible it is. i'd be grateful if you downloaded it for a try (: the download link is here.

That's pretty neat :) The not able to collide with yourself thing is a little odd and can be hard to tell where your character is since the color doesn't darken or something. But other than that the only thing I would suggest is like a menu or something at the beginning because it just starts. Great work though :)

You need Java installed. http://www.java.com/en/


ALso nice game Nemo. It would be nice if it did not close when you died and showed a Game Over screen where you can click retry, though. :P

I thought i just said in the previous post that i had java v6 update 22 installed  ??? (i updated it 2 days ago)....

anyway i got it to work. but it was complex... i had to copy the jar file into C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin then run java.exe through cmd and then give it the command:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin>java -jar snake.jar
then i created a shortcut for it to make things easier
steps to create a shortcut:
1. create a shortcut to java.exe (in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin) on your desktop
2. right click and choose properties
3. Go to shortcut tab and paste this in the Target box:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -jar snake.jar
4. Run it and enjoy!

it worked and it is a nice game. As meishe91 and Dj_omni said, i would like it if there was a chance for the user to get ready to begin the game and also when it ends - it closes so suddenly too, maybe a retry option?

You should be able to just double-click the .jar file and it should run. I'm not an expert though when it comes to Java so better wait for someone else to answer.

Ah sorry, I checked your post and still didn't see it. I tried CTRL+F on it and for odd reasons it found no results on "install" x.x

GLad you got it to run, though.

possibly, it's just that i had to set the default program and none of them worked... and when i tried to set it to run with java.exe it didn't do anything. so i had to use the method i described above...

wait, i need to ask something... when you run it, does it popup with both the cmd window and the game window?



Maybe there should be a score counter for the game?

Add a menu and some scoring and you pretty much got it. A few times it was an instant death because it just started and then crashed into the wall.
