I Made Snake in 1 Hour

I spent the first 13 minutes setting up a tile map as a 17 tile square with a checkerboard pattern. I made the mistake of typing in an incorrect variable in a for loop which took me 4 minutes to find.

I then tried to set up a movement system for the snake, but ran into several previous mistakes, such as forgetting the parameters of the board in the start function.

I used a similar system to my minesweeper's mine placement code to find a random unoccupied square and place an apple there. I had some issues similar to my flagging code where an apple was being placed and instantly removed.

I spent a short bit of time working on a score system and game over screen when the snake crashes into a wall or itself.

During this whole process, I had made the snake game, but it was missing the element that allowed me to enter it into the contest: the face. I spent the last 13 minutes drawing a happy face that turned into a sad face when it died.
