Fun little game. I've tried doing a Snake game for MEGA65 myself, and your code is much more optimized than mine - I'll definitely see if I can figure out some tricks :)

Developer

Thanks.
I discovered the FN functionality when doing this game.
When you're doing same things multiple times and it's just a simple formula with single input, FN is really helping to bring code-size/lines-of-code down. Still learning MEGA's BASIC (departed from V2 after ~1 year owning a C64, came-back to MEGA with ASM, then C, now BASIC ;) )

Lovely little game ! Well done and addictive ...

Oh wow, I wasn't aware that a Snake game can be done in so few lines!

i like it and it is much shorter than a screenful

Nice and straight forward. I would have hoped that the game sped up with time.

Developer

Yeah, was the initial plan, also having starting speed selection.
But this was my "what can I achieve in less than four hours after super-busy work-day and few brain-cells left working" attempt :D
But since this is BASIC, everybody can extend their version,
the "S"(peed) variable needs to be adjusted ;)
