Hello Friends..!!
I have just Found a C Program to Play All Time Favorite
Game "THE SNAKE GAME"..

This is a game where The player controls a long, thin creature, resembling a snake, which roams around on a bordered plane, picking up food (Or some other item), trying to avoid hitting its own tail and wall.

Description: Use Arrow keys to move snake faster. you have to eat food and your tail becomes longer and point count, avoid hitting its own tail and wall.

Just follow the simple steps and start Playing:-

Step 1.
First Copy the Below Code :

#include<stdlib.h>
#include<ctype.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<time.h>
#include<dos.h>

#define ESC 27
#define UPARR 72
#define LEFTARR 75
#define DOWNARR 80
#define RIGHTARR 77
#define SAVE 60
#define LOAD 61

Step 2.
Now Open Notepad..and Paste the Above Code in Notepad..

Step 3.
Now save the file as anyname.c as Save Type : All Type..
Now Paste the anyname.c file in BIN folder (Present in TC folder. )..

• You Must have Turbo C/C++ to have TC folder

Step 4.
Now Open the anyname.c file using Turbo C/C++...At lastCompile It (Alt+f9) and just Run(Ctrl+f9).!!

That's all..Now you are ready to play all time favorite game "THE SNAKE GAME"..!!
