The essentials of playing Snake
Start Snake by looking at the playing area and its controls. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Use the example below to understand a decision. Read the objective before making your first input. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
A focus for your next round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.
What you need to achieve
Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.
How to proceed
- Press Play to start the movement.
- Turn with arrow keys, swipes or the on-screen direction buttons.
- Each apple adds ten points and makes the snake longer.
- Pause when needed or start a new round.
How your actions work
Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
Work through an example
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Notice this detail
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
