Thanks

The site is build with a royalte free template, and its simplicity made it easy to implement it.

Have you been in holidays for exactly one month?

Hi all,

just a quick note that an official preview of the game has been released for you to play! You can find it on the homepage: http://www.snakeworldsgame.com/
(just click the icon in the gray area).

The final version is shaping up too; have a look at some updated screens in the Gallery section.

Have fun

any way to get it for linux right now ? maybe the source ? i promise i won't read the source I just wanna play

Hi,

the game is currenly developed for Windows, but the middleware (Python-Ogre) is fully compatible with Linux too. Even Mac OS, IIRC. I'd really like to support these OS's as well in the future.

I need to think about what i could send you. Sending you the .pyc (compiled files) should be possible i guess.

Please let me look into this for a bit

Ok, cool, but note that i have nearly no idea about python, the only thing I did with it was to code a Blender plugin.

Hi all,

i'm happy to let you know that the snake has escaped its cage!

Here's some latest screenies showing Cegui in action:

^^ Login screen (full-game only)

^^ Online highscore access

^^ Quickstart from any unlocked world

^^ A sunny day at the beach

For a free demo and purchase options, please visit my Snake game homepage.

@pompei: i haven't forgotten about your linux request. Supporting multiple platforms is something for which i now have time to (re)consider.

Thanks for reading

Looks very good! I will dl the demo later today. Please increase the size of the screenshots on the webpage though!

p.s. that snake remindes me of the snake boss in zelda!

scriptkid · Postby **scriptkid** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 17:52

Thanks both

@jamarr: the gallery will indeed get an update, which will allow to view full-size images. But getting this game out of the door was our highest prio

Jammar,

The website has been updated. The gallery now contains full-screen images (thumb->normal->full screen)

New snake game images!

Hi all,

This is an update about my own snake game. As of this month, it is optimized to run on netbooks / mini-laptops.
When the game detects this, it will fall back to a low-end mode, to keep the game running with a safe fps.
For the Cegui part it means that i have re-created most screens, because netbooks really have a very low resolution,
which especially makes things difficult to fit vertically.

The update has been tested on two netbooks with N270 Atom processor and Intel 945 chipset.

Here's a two screens:

^^ Acer Aspire One

^^ Samsung NC10

Visit the Snakeworlds for netbooks homepage for details and a Free Demo.

Thanks for reading!
