Cool game, I was having fun with the first stage of snake and then it changed and i was like "This is so cool :D" and then the third one was annoying and awesome at the same time!
Haha my initial entry name was "SnakEvolution" but as the game evolved, this name wasn't accurate anymore!
Very nice gameplay but you've got a serious probleme with controls! Are you using something like a wait function? Because I would cause this kind of trouble :/
I reached the level 2 easily but I couldn't finish 3 because of these control problems :(
Good job anyway! This is the kind of game I'd like to implement!
I took a look a your source code and I've got an idea to improve controls:
I think the problems are coming from the fact that the key events are too fast. I mean that when an arrow key is pressed, (maybe) the user the releasing the key too fast and the boolean that is recording his state is set to false which leads to the key not being recorded.
In main.as, instead of registering Arrow keys state with booleans, you could register the 'lastPressedTime'. Then, when you wanna get the state of the keys you do like this:
if (CurrentTime - lastPressedTime < minTime)
// The key is detected as pressed
else
// The key is not detected as pressed
minTime should be something like 'timeBetweenSteps' (the time on which your proceed function is based)
Great game! I like snake games (I did one too "Aeon" for this compo) but you have to work on your controls. I assume that you check for key on each snake update, that is not right, you should check for keys on each update and apply last direction on snake update. In that way you would avoid "lag".
very interesting idea
Great game, that 3rd snake made me mad though!!
