To add more presets to the list, you’ll have to edit the script. Don’t worry – it’s pretty easy! Just add items to the array here.

local presets =
	#(
		#("PAL", 768, 576, 1),
		#("PAL (Widescreen)", 1024, 576, 1),
		#("HDTV", 1920, 1080, 1)
		-- feel free to add more here

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
