Snake: rules and examples
Read the aim of Snake, then make your first move. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Look at what changes after your first action. Read the objective before making your first input. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Build familiarity through play
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
What counts as success
Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Work through an example
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
One detail worth checking
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
