About Snake Battle

Grow your snake by eating food while avoiding your own body and three AI snakes on an 18×18 wraparound grid. The playfield is 18 columns by 18 rows and both horizontal and vertical edges wrap around.

Food adds 10 points and leaves the tail in place for that move, increasing player length by one. Three AI snakes are created at the start; their bodies are capped at eight segments by the AI update logic.

How to Play Snake Battle

1Use Arrow keys to turn without immediately reversing into your body, or swipe on touch.

2Move onto the green food to gain 10 points and grow.

3Use edge wrapping carefully while avoiding your body and all AI snake segments.

Snake Battle Rules

  • Food is worth 10 points and grows the player snake by one segment.
  • Crossing a board edge wraps the head to the opposite side instead of causing a loss.
  • Colliding with your own body or any AI snake body ends the run.

Snake Battle Game Mechanics

Objective

Grow your snake by eating food while avoiding your own body and three AI snakes on an 18×18 wraparound grid.

Round End

The run ends on self-collision or contact with any AI snake segment.

  • The playfield is 18 columns by 18 rows and both horizontal and vertical edges wrap around.
  • Food adds 10 points and leaves the tail in place for that move, increasing player length by one.
  • Three AI snakes are created at the start; their bodies are capped at eight segments by the AI update logic.
  • Score and length are session-only; this runtime does not persist a best score.

Tips & Strategies

  • Use wraparound edges to escape crowded center lanes, but check where AI bodies are on the opposite side first.
  • Avoid building tight loops around yourself because self-collision remains lethal even though wall collision is removed.
