snake game

amara waseem (13)
i am making snake game but i found difficulty in increasing the length of snake as snake eat the food...plz tell me what can i do...i m using complier turbo c++...i appreciate if i get any help from here....plz reply me soon


here is my code

{
randomize();
int xAxis=0; //initial position of food

// position of food

xAxis=random(30);
yAxis=random(30);

what are you doing to move your snake tail btw ?

i created my snake game in which i use condition that will print a ('*' i.e snake body) in the next coordinate of head where it is moving
and i am printing (' ' i.e space) on snake tail,
so that snake is moved one coordinate ahead,,
now if i will eat food i will not print (' ' i.e space) on snake tail,
amara waseem (13)
i want to increase the length of snake as snake eat the food...but my program only generates random food and snake eat it
amara waseem (13)
i have no idea what to do to increase the sixe of snake... how we know about the head and tail of snake and what condition should be applied..

You will have to redesign your complete code.
Make a double dimension array which will store the coordinates of the previous position of the parts of the snake.
At every step, when the snake move forward,
1. Print a space at the coordinates of the last entry i.e Length - 1.
2. Now overwrite the last element with the 2nd last one, 2nd last one with the 3rd last and so on.
3. Put the value of the current position in the 1 element i.e subscript 0 and print a * at that position.
Keep doing these 3 steps after every 50 ms or so.
4. Now when the snake gets the food then follow all the above steps but do not delete the last last coordinate from the array or print space at that place and wait for 2 times the time you waited for the previous steps.

If you want to increase the length by more than one repeat the 4th step as many times as you want.
You will have to keep a variable length to get the last element
It just sounds complex but it is not just try coding this and if you get any problem post it here. Also read the following code carefully.

cout<<"Always use the code tags on the right side of  the edit box"
                 <<"They look like '<>' "
                 <<"I did the same while writing this";

And why did you include constream.h

I have edited a code a bit and have added somethings.
The biggest mistake you made is that the screen size is 80x24 not 80x50.
Sorry but the code is sort of unformatted

we use 2d array in snake game..but how we understand about index like when we initialize the snake first co-ordinate then what index should be given...
i use it in my snake game like as suggested

snake[0][0]=headx;
snake[0][1]=heady;

but i hve little confusion about what index should be given.... whether i given here another index,,, if i give another index or replace the index then i get unwanted result....
and alse i use 
foodx=food[i][0];
foody=food[i][1];

sir if i replace it with this
foodx=food[0][i];
foody=food[1][i];

then there will no increase in length and food will appear next to eachother.........not generate in random place
i with my friend make this game and i use array in this game just because of her help.

You can think 2D arrays as tables when we say 
int array[rows][cols];
, like in this case
int food[30][2];
, it will declare a table sort of thing with 30 rows and 2 columns. When we say food[0][0] it will point to the 1st cell. food[1][0] will point to the first col. of 2nd row, and food[2][1] will point to 2nd col. of third row and so on. Now when we are using coordinates we say that the 1st col. in our table is the x coordinate and 2nd col. is the y coordinate.
For more you can search the net for info on 2d arrays.
