Snakes On A Continuous Plane by zesterer
Snakes On A Continuous Plane is a game that harks back to the days of mobile Snake.Unlike the original, Snakes can now travel in any direction.
The game can be played by up to 6 people at a time. Power-ups give you powers such as the ability to each the tails of your opponents and a speed boost to more easily beat your enemies.
All code is free and open-source under GPL2. The game is written 100% in C++, using only the open-source SFML library for rendering.

In my first playthrough, I ate a bunch of power-ups and was surprised when my character died upon hitting an opponent's tail. The gameplay tension is pretty fun.
The red, white, and blue menu options were confusing - it took me awhile to realize that the selected option was white.
Will try playing it again with a friend :)
Also kudos from me for going with C++ and SFML :)
For the Linux build I had to move the binary into a subdirectory manually as it was looking for data in ../data.
I had fun playing with a friend :) The snake animation is very satisfying when the snakes get longer.
Also thanks for having a Linux build, even though it crashes immediately on my machine :) So thanks for providing the source, too. Note that there is a typo in CMakeLists.txt, the “cmake_modules” should actually be “cmake-modules”.
