Game programming with C#

H

Hans Kamp

As a programming exercise I try to program a game.

In my case it is called BugEater. The purpose is that you are a snake. It
moves automatically but you can control it with the keys on your keyboard.
In the field where your snake is, there are candies that you must eat. The
more candies you eat, the longer you get.

You win if you eat all 10 candies without dying more than 3 times in one
level. In that case a time bonus is added to your score. You gain one life.
The time bonus goes down faster. There are more rocks and your snake moves
faster. (In various versions of BugEater these concepts can vary.)

You die if you try to eat yourself, a rock or a wall. And you die if there
is no time bonus left.

The game is over if there is no life left anymore.

1. Who knows and/or ever played this game? I believe this is a game that was
free when installing DOS on your machine.

2. Do you program games with C#? If so, what kind of games?

3. (Off topic) Are there URLs about this game (not necessarily discussing
programming it)?

The game that came with dos was written in BASIC, called Nibbles.

The first I've ever seen of this style of game was the Tron game, which was
ages before nibbles.
