- WARNING
-

- please) if you are using any of my programs or if you have any kind of
- ideas or suggestions (This is not too much to ask, is it?). If you feel
- particularly generous, I would like to receive a disk with any useful
- programs you have written, preferrably with source. Thanks!

- DESCRIPTION
-
- Snake is a very simple game. A snake-like figure crawls over a surface
- where some blocks are placed. The snake is controlled by using the
- joystick, and you must avoid all the blocks, except the single one in a
- different color. The colored block MUST be hit: when you do so, another
- colored block will appear and your score will be increased by one. You
- must also avoid to hit your own tail - the snake grows as time passes to
- make things a little more fun. If you hit yourself or a wall or a block,
- the game is over - restart pressing fire. To exit the game, close the
- window. (I never thought it was so hard to describe such a simple game
- using just words! Forget what you read and just play the game - it is not
- that hard, anyway.) This program works both under WB 1.3 and 2.0.
