Follow the steps for Snake

Make Snake your next activity in the game library. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Bring this focus to a round

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The objective of a round

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. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Work through the instructions

  1. Press Play to start the movement.
  2. Turn with arrow keys, swipes or the on-screen direction buttons.
  3. Each apple adds ten points and makes the snake longer.
  4. Pause when needed or start a new round.

Choosing and moving on screen

Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.

One way to understand the rules

When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.

Keep this in mind

The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
