It's failing. :(
Official Topic:
For the 1 or 2 of you who don't know what this is, I am making a revolutionary snake game in axe. I want this to be one of the best clones out there and I want it to succeed and make it a really fun game to play.
Problem: I dont know how to code it and Im not sure what I should do :(
I want to start over again on this, and I can NOT continue with the current code. it is waaay to messy for me to work on (sorry runer112. I know you tried to help, but I need to do a fresh reboot.) I need some advice. I also want to make the code for this myself with only help by conceptual help. Also, I'm not even sure if its worth making or not.. I want to make it but dang, I got a lot to learn if I do want this to happen. Sorry for ranting so much and complaining so much.. If you wanna see pretty much what i got done on it, my avatar pretty much says it all. In short, im way over my head making this

Perhaps working on title last and get a game engine working first? It would probably have to use sprites if you want it to be that good, and then the X,Y values for each piece of the snake would have to be saved somewhere the way i'm thinking. Is this going to be free moving? As in X and Y can be any value within the screen or is it going to be 12 by 8 with 8 by 8 sprites using an array?

an array. Yeah i dont even know how to make a game engine either or what it even is for that matter! :s
-
What i meant by game engine was a working code that allows basic playability, and then expand from there.

I would start smaller, even if just something moving around on the screen when pressing keys, then add another thing, then another, and so on. Don't start too big. Snake is one of the hardest project to do because you need to figure out how to keep track of the tail and other stuff.
