I'll start out by admitting it: yes, that's really sad. Like, playing-minesweeper-all-day-long-kinda-sad. But still. Try to beat me. Standard single player Snake 2 game on a Nokia, level 3, without a maze or anything. 2384 points. You heard me, 2384 points! Damn, if it wasn't so pathetic I'd be proud of it. And just to prove it, here's the highscore screen:

And this is how it looked just before I took that last piece of snake grub and ate myself to death:

If anybody cares (I guess that would be a so-called rhetorical question): here are the Snake 2 specs, in case you have an itch to program it yourself

• The playing field is 13 by 33 squares.
• Normal food (what are those, mice? I don't know, what do snakes eat out in the wild? and did the makers really study them before programming it? anyway...) is 3 points plus the fact that your tail grows by one square.
• After 5 pieces of this diet-stuff, you get a big one. If you eat some more normal food in the meantime, that doesn't count for the 5 lighter pieces, so it's not a good idea to go and eat the petty food if you're out hunting for real meat.
• That bigger vermin is where you get the real work done: 20 points plus 2 points per second left on your counter. And don't forget you get an extra square on your tail length too.
• Then there's a tricky one, somewhere near the end (I think when there's around 10 open squares left), the bigger vermin stops coming. Too bad, that would really kick the scores up

Maybe somebody could make a smart client Avalon (don't hurry, you have the time) version with full vector-based graphics (yes! wallsize screens running Snake!), User Experience (alert me on my cellphone if somebody beats my highscore), Indigo (realtime multiplayer gaming) and WinFS (to store settings, highscores, and be able to search game statistics in no time). *snap*

Sorry 'bout that
