Nice game!
I like the music and the graphics is a very old school stil.
Good work!

One thing can you do better:
the file records.txt is clear text ...
cheaters can make high records easy with notepad.

Thanks.
I did try to get some oldschool feelings there.

That records.txt thing i know. If someone wants to cheat on that game, then be my guest :D

THE COOLEST ASCII GAME IT HAS EVER BEEN MY PLEASURE TO PLAY
BUNGY ROCKS!!!
Seriously.

I think this is the most original snake like game Iv played! Though Im not a big fan of ascii gfx, it works nicely for this game. Music and sound fx fits the game very well, specialy like the little sound effects.

Thoug one time I ended up with only rocks and the snake dosent like to eat them =) One small thing I noticed is that the game seem to change screen mode between the menu screen and the game.

Great mini game! =)

:D
Best in school? You ment only one? ;D
Anyway, so you create then your own snake game :)

Seems like there is _only_ few bugs on that game.
Ill try to fix em, asap and add few new things there too.

Ill publish it as Open Source when its finished. Alltough, on that source aint nothing special. Very basic...basic :D

If i have time and brains to figure how winsock works, there is chance to get it even for multiplayers. But thats a big IF.

[EDIT]
And thanks to all about your nice responses of my game.
This is my first "finished" project this far,
and as Fausti sayd, good feedback of self coded game is like sex :D

But "bad" feedback is also welcomed :)

personally I do not like the bomb system. It is hard to line up. Though that is probably my lack in skills more than your coding. The only thing i do not like about that is once you have finished bombing, it puts you on the map and starts gong without warning, so i crashed into the wall before I could react =(. Otherwise its a pretty fun game, nice job.

Well, aiming on bomb phase was something i tryed to figure out to do some other way. First i thought to use some crosshair there but its hard to PRINT it and rock or points etc. at same location with out using sprite etc. technique. And i wanted to keep this pure ASCII game, so i guess there came limits of ASCII front of me.

When worm starts to move after bombing with out warning, is now on my todo list. :)

Im going to be the best basic programmer there is :)
But Im not goint to ask you any advices, since I know this aint the right channel..
