MAXSnake!

Use your mouse to play a variation on the classic arcade game 'Snake'!

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Use your mouse to play a variation on the classic arcade game ‘Snake’!

Game play

The aim of the game is to shorten your body by eating power pills.
If you accidentally bump a pill with any part of your body except the head, your body gets longer.
If you run over your own body, your body gets longer.

To do

  • Scoring / time limit
  • Levels
  • Different shaped boards
  • Add obstacles, such as columns or holes
  • Probably tinker with game play
  • Different pick-ups, such as
    • Double size
    • Double speed
    • Add / delete multiple segments
    • Make board go wavey
    • Upside down
  • Collision animations / effects

Download & Installation

Download MAXSnake.ms and run the script to set-up and start the game.

Random 3D Spline

A bit of fun that animates a line!

Friday, February 25th, 2005

This is a “just for fun!” script :)

It creates a spline that randomly snakes from grid point to grid point in x, y, or z only. The end result is a very rectilinear, organic spline.
