Snake game

Carmen Alvarez

This is a game I wrote in April 2001, in part to pass the time away, in part

out of curiosity to learn QT. 

REQUIREMENTS

This game was initially written for Qt on Linux in 2001.  In June 2011, I

updated it to compile on the latest version of Qt (4.7) on Mac OS X. I updated

it again in November 2017 to compile with Qt 5.9.2 on Mac OS X.

BUILDING

These steps have only been tested on Mac OS X:

* qmake -project

* qmake QT+=widgets

* make

RUNNING 

Run the snake executable.

Optional argument: --file  where  is a snake level

file.  

PLAYING THE GAME

The goal is to collect all the red apples and exit the game, in the fastest

time possible.  Eating a red apple increases the snake's length, and 

eating a green apple shortens the snake.

SNAKE LEVEL FILES 

You can create custom levels. The level is drawn in ASCII in a text file,

and specified with the --file argument when running the game. 

The first two lines of the file must start with a number which indicates 

the width and height, respectively.

* Place 'W' characters where the walls should appear.

* Place an 'N' character where the snake should enter the game.  This should

be on one of the borders (top, left, right, bottom) of the room.

* Place an 'X' character where the snake should exit the game. The exit

will appear as a wall throughout the game, and after collecting all the

red apples, the exit will transform into a black tile.

For this reason, it is recommended to place the exit

either on one of the borders, or in the middle of one of the walls.
