Snake The Game That Keeps On Giving

Introduction

When I was growing up, like most kids, I spent a good amount of time playing games on my computer. When I wasn’t playing educational games that were supposed to help me learn math or spelling, I was playing Snake. For those of you who didn’t grow up in the 1990s, the point of this game is simple: there’s a snake that moves around a field and tries to eat dots without running into its own body or the walls of its environment. You can picture it—it’s pretty basic stuff. Or at least it seems that way at first glance…

The game was designed by Taneli Armanto of Nokia in 1997.

In 1997, Taneli Armanto, a Finnish engineer at Nokia, created a game called Snake on their first handheld gaming device. The device was called the Nokia 5110 and was the best selling phone in Finland. It had a black-and-white screen and 16 shades of grey.

It is said that Taneli designed Snake because he wanted to make something simple for people who were not familiar with technology. He thought it would be easy for people to play but hard enough that they could learn from playing it over time.

Taneli says the original focus when he made the game was not on length or score, but on “being able to steer the snake across boundaries,” which is why you can take your snake off one side of the screen and see it pop up on the other side.

The idea behind Snake, Taneli says, was to make a game that was “beyond the usual.”

“The original focus when I made the game was not on length or score,” he explains. “It was more about being able to steer the snake across boundaries.” This is why you can take your snake off one side of the screen and see it pop up on the other side. “You can go wherever you want in space,” he says. It’s also why there are no walls in Snake—it would be too easy if there were!

To play, move your finger around on your screen until you have an idea of where your snake will be going next (this is called prediction). Then swipe along with its path while keeping an eye out for obstacles like walls and fruit baskets that could harm it. The goal here is to make sure you don’t crash into anything while collecting as many items as possible along the way; once all three items are collected by eating them whole within 30 seconds each time without crashing into anything else (or yourself), then all points will be tallied up at once and added together into one final score for each round played which will then be saved onto Google Play Games so that players can compare high scores with friends across social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter during their free time instead of doing something productive like work!

The game was initially called Worm, named for…well…you know. Taneli changed it to Snake upon its release to avoid confusion with the computer game Worms.

Snake is a game of skill and patience that requires you to collect dots while avoiding enemies and obstacles as you grow longer by eating them up (or rather your snake’s head does).

Originally, Snake was only available on Nokia 6110 phones.

The original Snake was released in the late ’80s and only available on Nokia 6110 phones. The phone was quite popular at the time, so this restriction probably seemed like a good idea at the time. However, it meant that many users never got to play what has become one of gaming’s most iconic titles.

This is because Snake wasn’t actually called “Snake” during its development—it was originally called Worm! This is because when you play Worm, two wormlike creatures move around a screen eating pellets and avoiding each other until one of them eats enough to win; it’s kind of like Pac-Man but with worms instead of ghosts (and no maze). So it makes sense why they would change their name after realizing that “Worm” could be easily confused with another game from Namco called Dig Dug which also involves mazes, pellets, and round orange things being chased by round blue things.

The first version of Snake had no levels—it just kept going until you died. Snake 2 introduced levels and a harder difficulty mode.

Snake was a simple game. You controlled a snake around a maze and gobbled up food, but the first version of Snake had no levels—it just kept going until you died. Snake 2 introduced levels and a harder difficulty mode with stages that were longer, faster and more difficult to navigate. These changes made the game more challenging and interesting, but they also made it addictive. This allowed your brain to get accustomed to playing for longer periods of time so that you could finish higher stages or beat your friends’ high scores.

In 2000, a woman in Turkey reportedly played the game so much that she wound up in a coma—and blamed herself for causing it!

In 2000, a woman in Turkey reportedly played the game so much that she wound up in a coma—and blamed herself for causing it! The woman was playing Snake on her cell phone and kept going until she passed out. She woke up days later and said, “I don’t know what happened to me. I guess I lost track of time.” She had been playing Snake for 21 hours straight before she fell asleep at her desk and then was taken to the hospital where doctors determined that she had suffered from sleep deprivation. The woman was in a coma for 3 days due to exhaustion caused by playing Snake too much!

A similar thing happened to a Chinese man in 2011! He fell into a coma after playing Snake for 21 hours straight.

A Chinese man also fell into a coma as a result of playing Snake. He did so for 21 hours straight! It’s like the game is just out to get you.

When he woke up, what happened? Well, first he had to be hospitalized and treated for dehydration. After that, the doctors had to warn him not to play the game again because of its addictive nature.

Snake is fun to play, but it’s probably best not to play it obsessively

It’s not a good idea to play Snake obsessively.

That’s because the game can cause sore thumbs, carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, neck pain and shoulder pain.

Plus there are other reasons why it’s probably not a great idea to play this game for hours on end:
