3-D Snake
3-D Snake
YES, the popular game now in a 3D environment.
Move the sanke inside the cubic world. Eat the (yellow) apple.
Do not hit the walls or the snake's tail.

About the Game (How it was created)
It's my first game ever! It started when I decided to learn how to program games.
I knew nothing about games or 3D graphics, so I downloaded the DirectX SDK
and started by creating a cube. Then a smaller cube that moved inside the bigger cube.
That was the moment that I thought about a 3-D Snake.
So the game is actually a result of learning and parcticing programming with DirectX.
Today I'm working on my second game:
CarWars.

How to install
Download
3DSnake12.zip and unzip all the files to a directory in your computer.
Replace older files! (run them over or delete them first)
PLEASE tell me of any problem downloading or running the game.

System Requirements
DirectX 8.0 or above.
Direct3D compatible graphic card.

Controlling the snake
OK, this is a little confusing at first.
Turn the snake with the arrow keys on the keyboard.
Now the snake is turning 90 degrees to the direction you pressed.



The most important thing is to recognize the direction that the snake is facing.
If you press right the snake will turn to its right (according to where it is facing).
Remember, you are playing in a 3D world (cube) so it's very important to know where
the snake is facing every moment!!


You can use Guiding Lines to help you know where you are facing and distance from the walls. toggle with L key.
Red line show right side.
Magenta line show left side.
Green line show up side.
Blue line show down side.
White line show forward side.

Use F1 and F2 for help during the game.
Use F3 to configure game parameters during the starting page.

The first few games are very hard and the feeling is what's happening here?
Don't give up, try to understand how the snake walk and turn.
Enjoy.
