Serpents is a snake-like game, in which you control 3 serpents of different colors. You start as the red one and can switch to others by picking up food of a different color. Try to eat as much as possible without colliding!
Serpents is a work in progress and you are welcome to contribute! Currently the basic game has been implemented and features a simple game over screen. I plan to add highscores and some kind of powerups.
The latest release can be downloaded here.
To install Serpents from a distribution tarball, you will need SDL2 and SDL_ttf. To install first unpack the archive:
tar xvf serpents-0.1.tar.gz
cd serpents-0.1
Then build it:
cd serpents
./configure
make
And install it:
sudo make install
Now you can run it with serpents!
Once you've installed Serpents, you can run it in a terminal with serpents. To see help or version information use -h and -v respectively.
Control your snake with WASD or the arrow keys. You can use Q to quit. When the game is over you can play again by pressing Y, space or return and quit using Q.
