An introduction to playing Snake
Read the aim of Snake, then make your first move. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Look at what changes after your first action.
Practice with a purpose
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
Start here and follow along
- 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Work through an example
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
One detail worth checking
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
