Hi everybody,

I've a started a little a game, it is based on the nokia game snake, where you have to guide the snake and eat the food.

I wrote a little script in python, and a C++ version of the game but in 4 spatial dimension. The snake moves through a euclidean 4 space.

what do you think of the idea?

snake 4d:

(is it possible to download the executable, look at the video description, the python version is a bit buggy, but I have corrected the bugs in the C++ version, which is still not compiled)

stereoscopic view:


cheers,
Pella

That video sucks... it's all laggy and skips and the music doesn't fit it. Make a better video first then post it.
 
On the other hand, I love the video, Lisa Gerrard is awesome.

And the concept is freaking cool, I love this.

thx for the sincerity, I already know about this problems and I'm trying to do a second video, but I'm trying to catch every opinion possible to make it better.

- The video is laggy, yes, there are some bugs (one in particular, the rendering function), I corrected it in the C++ version (by using OpenGL), now it runs at 60/65 fps. Which is really smooth. But the program I use to record the screen introduce some lags. If you have any program that works on mac for screen recording, well a suggestion is appreciated...

-music-> well is a matter of tastes and it was one of the few mp3 stored in my laptop ;) what would fit better?

Thx a lot. if you want the source code of the C++ version which is actually playable is here:

it has some problems with the make file, but it can be fixed, but I don't really know how.
To compile it needs the Qt libraries (download the Qt SDK(1.4Gb) and compile it (press run) it should work.)
 
Have you considered using some of the popular elements?
