Snake Rewind: Building a Retro Snake Game in C with Raylib

Currently Playing: Slither With Style: Snake Movement and Controls [Snake Rewind Ep 2]

🐍 In Episode 2 of *Snake Rewind* we bring the grid to life with smooth step based movement and responsive keyboard controls. 🎮 What we cover: - Implementing classic Snake style movement (timed, not per frame) - Handling Arrow key input with turn buffering - Wrapping around the grid edges - Building the *Snake* struct and tile tracking system All movement is handled in *discrete steps*, making the gameplay feel tight, predictable and pixel perfect 📺 Full Snake Rewind Series Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI7p1zrAYQeUb67kPtsyduLk1aJChzIQZ 📖 Companion Blog Post: https://letsreinventthewheel.github.io/blog/snake-rewind-ep2/ 🧠 Source code: https://github.com/letsreinventthewheel/snake-rewind Snake Rewind isn't just a remake. It is Snake with a twist: - 🐍 Clone snakes that retrace your path - ✨ Retro shaders: bloom, scanlines, chromasep - 🎮 Reactive UI, game feel, and juicy feedback - 🎧 Music and SFX polish (hopefully we can find free sounds) 💬 Got questions?
