[Play me] Snake on Console [C++]

['Bruno]

Okay, last afternoon i was bored at work (waiting..) and decided to make a cookie cutter snake on a console project "Easy" stuff.
Plus i used Linked Lists as a good example on how to actually use them. (Tutorial about Linked Lists on my signature)

Basic stuff:
-You score +1 when you eat;
-You loss one life when you hit the wall, when you hit yourself, or when you try to walk backwards;
-Your size increases when you eat. (increases by 1);
-If you don't eat the food for 5 secs, it will re-spawn somewhere else on console. (for 5 secs);

How to play:
-Avoid collisions;
-Eat food;
-Score;
-Use ESCAPE to end the game;
-Use Arrows to play.

Ingenious^^ tho I'm sure it's been done before

[schim]

WOW, this is realy cool :O
Think I'm going to do something like this 2

[Hell_Demon]

+rep for clean code =)

['Bruno]

Thanks everyone, actually the logic i used on that game i was using it in here (xna):



But i lost the project, and didn't felt like restarting it again. So made it in c++ @ console ;o

[Void]

Daaaum great job Brinuz. +Rep.

[thekm1994]

Good Job !

['Bruno]

Update

Added:
-Highscores (uses a file to save them)
-Starting Menu
- Play
- Highscore (check the file that has them)
- Options (change snake speed)
- Exit
Every game you finish, the score will be saved and compared to others and added to the list (this if there's a lower score then that one (top 10)).
Speed snake is changed by changing the Sleep(xxx) speed.

Looks nice. I once tried making a snake in vb. It didn't go so well.
