An introduction to playing Snake
Bring your attention to one round of Snake. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Look at what changes after your first action.
A small practice goal
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.
Your objective
Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The playing sequence
- Press Play to start the movement.
- Turn with arrow keys, swipes or the on-screen direction buttons.
- Each apple adds ten points and makes the snake longer.
- Pause when needed or start a new round.
Choosing and moving on screen
Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
An example before you play
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.
A useful caution
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
