Know the goal in Snake

Snake gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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. Read the objective before making your first input. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Build familiarity through play

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.

The purpose of your moves

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. Start with a deliberate move.

Follow these playing steps

  1. Press Play to start the movement.
  2. Turn with arrow keys, swipes or the on-screen direction buttons.
  3. Each apple adds ten points and makes the snake longer.
  4. Pause when needed or start a new round.

Your inputs

Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

Work through an example

When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.

One detail worth checking

The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
