Follow along as we rebuild the classic Snake game but with a retro twist. In this series we're coding Snake Rewind from scratch in C using Raylib, layering on everything from pixel perfect visuals to clone enemies, cinematic shaders and juicy arcade feedback.

🐍 In Episode 4 of *Snake Rewind* your past becomes your enemy. This episode introduces one of the most unique mechanics in the series: *clone snakes* that retrace your exact path with deadly precision. Every time you eat food, a new clone spawns and your own movement history becomes a trap waiting to happen. 🎮 What we cover: - Recording the player's movement path - Spawning clone snakes that replay that path - Using `player_path_idx` to time clone movement - Shrinking clones over time (and removing them) as the player eats food This is the turning point: Snake Rewind is no longer a remake; it's a retro arcade survival game with real spatial strategy. 📺 Full Snake Rewind Series Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI7p1zrAYQeUb67kPtsyduLk1aJChzIQZ 📖 Companion Blog Post: https://letsreinventthewheel.github.io/blog/snake-rewind-ep4/ 🧠 Source code: https://github.com/letsreinventthewheel/snake-rewind Snake Rewind isn't just a remake.
