I have removed one of the scores, but you must be very good at it with that kind of highscore!!

If you are in trouble sending then it is also possible to set the phone in the cradel and select passtrough and then send the highscore via the PC, which then has to be connected to the internet.

[Guest fumaras]

ok thank you Carsten Schack-Eriksen.

Just a question because it's possible:

if the score is more than 9999 it's ok with the game and internet score or make a problem ? (i think this question deconcentrate me and make me loose this night but not very important)

PS:

(i use the craddle to send the score by my internet PC connection but my internet fornissor are out of order during the night, i try to send but message "send failed", i retry and same result so i disconnect and go to an other fornissor to send and the spv send two times and crash! i make a soft reboot with remove the battery.)

Don't worry the score is in a 32 bit integer (max 4294967295), so you should have no problems with that, but the max. length of the snake is 500 in version 2.2, but maybe i should make it longer!! You are playing on a 34x35 grid (1190 cells) to 500 is less than 50 %, do you think that is a problem??

The problems with a dead phone when trying to send where there is bad signal/try again is another thing I'm looking into, but it actually very difficult to debug, because i need a bad signal to test what happens.

:) ok, i'll never have problem with score ;)

i don't think 500 cells is a problem but if you think it's better to make more cells...

Yes and this problem is very rare.

It's better to delete a score if problem (double send) than working on it.

Thanks for all your answer and this game :wink: :D .

PS:

The only problem i see in the game is when you make a form like square, the game concider that i loose but there is 1 cell free! :

. are not visible

* is the snake

fumaras are you a professional snake player ? :)

Your scores certainly suggest that ! ;)

well on my Nokia I managed to fill the entire screen in Snake 2, so I suggest you allow the max score to be all the cells.

[Guest midnight]

how the hell do you manage to fill the whole screen? surely its impossible :) but yeh, increase it so the theoretical limit is all cells filled ;P

[Guest fumaras]

Now perhaps but before no :

i dowload and play this game because i see a friend with SNAKE game in his Nokia and i remember that i see Snake on SPV then i try the Snake2 V1.1.

Now the V1.2 is ok (no key or joystick problem) ;) .

Think somebody can do better but more than 10000 is not easy (but it's possible).

I'll try (tomorrow or later) if i can but i'm not sure to make a better score !!!

(if last night the send and retry option don't work, you never see this score !, thanks for this great option :D :( :( ).

Yes why not if possible :wink:

but if i say: "i don't think 500 cells is a problem but if you think it's better to make more cells...", it's because :

At start the snake is 4* cells.

At normal speed the max score possible is 75 (for 1 turn) but not possible to do all the time !!! (generally 50-30 is average value at normal speed)

exemple for a score of 10000:

10000/75 = 133(,33..) + 4* = 137 cells (not 500!!!)

10000/50 = 200 + 4* = 204 cells (not 500)

10000/20 = 500 + 4* = 500 because it's the limit

10000/10 = 1000 + 4* = 500 because it's the limit.

I think when i make my score, i have approx 300-400 cells not 500 !

[Guest chocobogo]

there is another bug.

The very bottom line of cells seems to clear any snake body cells that have come up from underneath.

For example, build a pretty big snake then send it up throught the "roof" of the grid and you will notice when it comes up from below there seems to be a part of its body missing and now if you turn back on urself and try to cross where that body should be, voila you can cross it!

Surely a bug

BTW i am bongo, and going for ur top score fumaras, I blame my boring lectures

[Guest Carsten Schack-Eriksen]

Yes, there was a bug, but it's corrected now, and the Snake max length is set so that you could fill the screen with one long snake.

Just tried this game for the first time today, and I am very impressed.

One thing though: if you hit the menu softkey it should pause the game I think.
