I Made Snake, but in First Person

[@DevBanana]

watch me make a game in only 12 hours: kzbin.info/www/bejne/injZomCHhNGsZtE btw a lot of you are saying I should of added a minimap so you can see your tail and the apple. I thought of adding that but I realised that if i did, you could just look at the map and play the game like normal, kinda ruining the first person aspect and also making it too easy.

[@chairchairyes2524]

make subway surfers in first person, actually make geometry dash in first person, or both!

[@davidreihan2617]

How about add sound affects to the slithering and moving

A good way to make the apple easier to find would to make it 50% transparent through walls or have an outline through walls. Idk how hard that is to do lol

[@NotTolik708]

I know that you could do much better. For example, you could add a minimap, darkening the color of the snake to the tail, different game modes but I understand that it is very difficult to have so much inspiration for such a small project and because of this I like your videos! You do whole projects in one video and they are all very creative.

Ah, nice to see some constructive criticism

@@Worssix He's/She's not criticizing, he's/she's wrote in her comment saying how much inspiration the creator has for making the game 3d. Wow you def need to go back to school cos I don't think you understand words.

[@lylahsworld3930]

But the minimap thing wouldn't work, Vidanov, because then you could just play it like normal snake, in 2d. Because you look at the minimap, and it is just normal snake, therefore, getting rid of the 3d portion. I do like the idea of the colour getting darker though

[@officialwindows3.1]

Keep up the hard work! The 3d games might become extremly popular! I enjoyed your video!

[@elliot2008]

Cool! Snake is nostalgic. This reminds me of when I used tkinter Python to make snake in August of 2022. A bunch of the challenges you faced, I faced as well, like the apple collision.

[@GMPranav]

yo I am not a fan of first person games but for this game the perspective is really nice! I think it definitely adds difficulty since you have lesser information at a given time. I also like how if you played the 2D snake for a while it certainly boosts your skill for this version as you have a clearer picture of how to maneuver.

[@blusic9373]

1:27 I can hear you almost laugh! lol

[@D3M3RALD]

Honestly I think this is really cool. I love snek. And this channel grew alot since last time. Remember 6 months ago when it was at 658 subs?

[@apureo5720]

Problems do arise when balls collide. Thats about all I understand from this video.

[@Slithersy]

2:38 The "It'll get it right at some point" approach really scares me. I always imagine to myself that some player will someday manage to get so unlucky that (in this example) the apple decides to spawn inside the snake continuously and crash/lag the game. In this situation, the game will probably crash if the board has no place for the apples to spawn at (In other words, your game will crash if the player has "won"), and there is no way to determine whether the player has "won" through apple spawning as it is based on a random system. What would've been smarter is to put down "apple spawn circles" throughout the map, where the apple would spawn randomly in one of them that are not being intersected by the snake - And if the apple can not spawn, the player has won, as it will conclude that the entire board is filled with snek. Apart from that, I'm fairly sure that the snek game is less about chance if you could "go through the walls", such as in the original snek game, though this sounds hard to do so I can imagine why you wouldn't bother. Regardless, as a snek, I approve.

[@Punch_Card]

i think the "go through the doors" might not be as difficult as it sounds, It can be done with a few lines of code

[@pineberryfox]

The "try again" approach is actually both smart and common imo. A simple approach, guaranteed not to lag or crash: "try a spot; if that doesn't work then we're appleless this update and we'll try again on the next". Choosing a random location and testing for contact is a pretty fast operation too, so you easily could get away with several attempts, say, 10 or 100, per update with no worries. As for going through walls, none of Blockade, Nibbler, or Snake Byte (the original snake games) let you do that. All had walls that were death, not even just along the outside of the stage but sometimes even making little mazes within

[@Slithersy]

@@pineberryfox In this case, the "Try again" approach will in-fact crash his game as the more he fills the board the more checks will be done and thus the more chances for an infinite/almost infinite loop to be generated (Which when he fills the board completely, is infinity). Now, even if you apply checks near the end or whatnot to somehow tackle this issue, it's still not resolved, and is bound to cause at least lag at some point if the game has a large playerbase (More players = Increase in the general chance (not literal) of a lag spike to be created for one of these players as a result of the issue). I wouldn't call this approach smart or optimized, but I would agree it's unfortunately common around beginners. I've listed a better approach that would never crash your game and has absolutely no chance to lag it either (unless it's coded badly), your approach will always have some chance to lag or crash the game and I am not sure why you are so confident it wouldn't, this approach works on a random system that isn't guaranteed to be reliable. "The code is fast enough to handle my unoptimized code" is not a good approach to problems such as these. I've not played the original snake game but all the snake games I have played since the 2000s contained going through walls and I see it as an upgrade as I find it makes the game more fair, but each to their own I suppose.

[@pineberryfox]

@@Slithersy In my proposal, there is at most a fixed number of checks done per frame. Some frames simply don't contain an apple. There's no opportunity for lag or a crash, because there is never an opportunity for an unbounded amount of computation to occur within a given update-interval. Why am I confident? Because I regularly write 8- and 16-bit games where one has to be careful to limit computations in exactly this sort of way.

[@Slithersy]

@@pineberryfox If you're running these checks per frame, yes, I would agree that it probably won't lag or crash your game, but it'll still be unoptimized code. As for running it outside of a rendering/limited in calls function (which is what I was more referring to, since you wouldn't normally run these in a render function, but I suppose an update function is also limited to lower degree), it has a fair probability to crash/lag your game with this particular method (Such as in an external loop in a custom function). Don't get me wrong, this isn't a wrong way of doing things, it's just not a good or smart way of doing things, as it is unoptimized. I was simply suggesting a better method and the probability of a crash/lag (outside of a limited-in-calls function) or an unnecessary minor performance impact.

NEW DEVBANANA VIDEO

[@glo8516]

Reminds me of that hypixel minigame, good job!

[@lyagva]

The best way for me to implement snake is to: 1) make a list of all body parts 2) each frame (or step) set position of all other parts to preveous part. Then just move head forward Part (n) set its pos to part (n-1), (n-1) to (n-2) etc. Part (0) to (head) Then move head . It may sound complicated, but its actually like 5-10 lines of code

For the apple marker you could have used classic AAA game style waypoint marker. Convert the world position of the apple to screen and clamp it to the edges and spawn a UI image at that position.
