MAXSnake!

Dave Stewart — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 13:24:41 +0000

Use your mouse to play a variation on the classic arcade game ‘Snake’!

Game play

The aim of the game is to shorten your body by eating power pills.
If you accidentally bump a pill with any part of your body except the head, your body gets longer.
If you run over your own body, your body gets longer.

To do

Scoring / time limit
Levels
Different shaped boards
Add obstacles, such as columns or holes
Probably tinker with game play
Different pick-ups, such as
- Double size
- Double speed
- Add / delete multiple segments
- Make board go wavey
- Upside down
Collision animations / effects

Download & Installation

Download MAXSnake.ms and run the script to set-up and start the game.

Random 3D Spline

Dave Stewart — Fri, 25 Feb 2005 00:00:00 +0000

This is a “just for fun!” script

It creates a spline that randomly snakes from grid point to grid point in x, y, or z only. The end result is a very rectilinear, organic spline.
