Learn How to Code a Classic Snake Game (Part 2 of 4)

Hey, this is Greg and welcome back to Part 2 of this 4 part programming learning series in which I show you How to Code a Classic Snake Game from Start to Finish in MIT Scratch. In part 1 of this series, we created our snake head, we set up some game flow variables, and we built out a grid-based movement system and a gameboard which can be dynamically-resized. So, if you want to check that out then I will link it up above and also in the comments down below, but now let's go ahead and continue on to part 2 where we are going to make sure our snake head rotates when it turns, we're going to set up a script for randomly placing food pellets on the screen at set intervals, we are going to tackle the problem of how to we add body segments to our snake and get them to follow our snake as it turns and moves around the board and we'll also get into things like detecting collisions and adding sound fx. Okay, so let's pick up we're we left off after part 1 and jump back into this fun coding project.
Some key moments in this video:
