Snake: learn through an example
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. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Bring this focus to a round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
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. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step
- 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 to use the controls
Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
See the idea in action
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. Read the matching step again.
Where a round can go wrong
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
