Follow the steps for Snake
Choose a round of Snake and settle into its rules. 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.
Something to practise
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
What counts as success
Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Making your moves
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. Use the control method described here for this activity. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful 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. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
