nsnake
a snake game for your terminal

nsnake [-cnsvw] [-C color]

You are controlling a snake where the goal is eating food spawning randomly on the screen.

There are two types of food, normal and free, respectively +, *.

The head of the snake is symbolized with an @.

Each time you eat a piece of food, the snake will be grown by two. If you eat a free piece of food the score will be increased but not the snake's length.

The following options are available:

Disable colors, by default if the terminal is capable colors are enabled.
color
Specify an alternate color between 0 and 8. (default 2)
Do not try to update score file.
Only display high score sorting by descending and exit.
Be more verbose.
Disable wall crossing. Can be used together with -s to show score with wall crossing disabled.

To move the snake the following keys may be used:

Move to up

Move to down

Move to left

Move to right

Suspend the game until p is pressed again.

Change the color.

Quit the game and save the score.

The snake seems to be faster when moving vertically, this is due to terminal character dimensions.
