Snakeli

Feel free to fork/copy the code for yourself, I don't care :D

Random project born from boredom. You can use it to get used to vim keys for moving around. Just give it a -vim flag and only hjkl keys will work for movement.

Controls: - <Control>c: quit - <Space>: pause - n: increase speed - m: decrease speed - <Up> | k | w: go up (only k will work in vim mode) - <Down> | j | s: go down (only j will work in vim mode) - <Left> | h | a: go left (only h will work in vim mode) - <Right> | l | d: go right (only l will work in vim mode)

Usage

Snakeli - v1

snakeli [-w 50] [-h 30] [-l 5] [-m TRIM]

    --help  print this help
        -w  width of the board
        -h  height of the board
        -l  initial length. It has to be less than w-2 (48 by default)

TODOs

1. Poll for inputs during (0.8 x ms_per_frame) and process them afterwards. This is the only way to create multiplayer
2. Add multiplayer (friendly or unfriendly?)
3. ¯\(ツ)/¯
