Raspberry Pi Tutorial 12 - A Moving Snake

Link to files used in this tutorial: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30557697/RaspberryPiTutorials/PiSnake-MovingSnake.zip

Instructions for unzipping files are at the start of Tutorial 6.

The Raspberry Pi is a £15/$25 computer that runs GNU/Linux. See http://www.raspberrypi.org/ for more info.

I plan to provide Linux tutorials for those who are new to it, configuration tutorials once the Raspberry Pi is out, and programming tutorials following that.

Cheers,

Liam.

@sneekylinux Cheers sneeky :). I love your vids, and have subscribed over at my other channel which is my personal one. Would love to see your review of the Raspberry Pi even though it would be slightly off topic for you.

Hello. Well done on the series. I haven't got my head around what you're doing yet in this code yet (I sure I'll work it out eventually) - but I think you're moving every part separately and redrawing them. In my mind I think we only need to move the head to the new location, and remove the tail (i.e. the last part), and only refresh/redraw (with blit) those two snake parts. That would be more efficient as the snake gets longer.  Though I don't know how I would do that yet either!
