I need help making a certain part of a Slither.io Scratch Edition

Slither.io: The background of Slither.io is you're a snake and you have to move around a big area getting bigger. You get bigger by eating circles. But you can die by running into another snake. If another snake runs into you, then circles appear and you can get bigger.

What I need help with: I need help with moving the snake. In Slither.io, you can move the mouse to point the snake in the direction that you want it to go. I can't get it to move. I really need help with this. Do you do this:

Please help me to move!!!

This is absolutely hard. As a high school student, doing 5 years of programming C++ and Java, its impossible for me. Griiffpatch made a SIMPLIFIED version of it… and he's griffpatch, an adult programmer. Good luck!

And no, you would not do that. You would use a series of complex algoirhtms, cloud lists for position storage, trig to check for collisions, and all pen.

Well for touching sprites i would do this. Moving is harder

I know, the problem is that #1) that's only if you are playing a 1 person non-scrolling game. So no real players, a zoomed out screen showing the whole map…

My script i wrote would be a clone that you controll the clone sprite is named Snake.

For a newcomer? Extremely.

For an intermediate developer? Moderate.

For a AAA developer? Easy.

The realtime online multiplayer element is what's most difficult. That automatically doubles or triples the workload of any given game project.

The gameplay itself is also likely more complex than most non-developers would expect. Having a snake body that follows the head, growing it based on food eaten, gradually zooming the camera out to accommodate size, adapting collision on the fly to accommodate dynamically-increasing length and width of body, randomly spawning food that isn't in weird clusters or too far apart, randomly spawning new players in a session in appropriate locations based on other players, spawning food after a snake dies that fits the previous body of the snake… it also all works from browsers or mobile platforms with several control schemes.

It's a simple game, sure, but way more complex than something like Flappy Bird or a lot of the simple 2D indies you see. If a person without experience attempted this, it'd be quite difficult to replicate.

That was taken from quora.com

I am a NEWCOMER. Even though I am in high school, took 4 years of programming, studied an online methodology course at Stanford, and other languages. And I cannot even compare to the other programmers. I am definitely a beginner despite that. And doing games like this in scratch (a very high-level introductory language) is x10 harder because of all the workarounds needed. Just to put this into perspective…

Anyways, if you insist, good luck!

I CAN HELP MOVING THE SNAKE FOR YOU AND I CAN DO THE SCROLLING AND THE FOOD AND I WILL TRY TO DO THE MULTIPLAYER - I AM A PRETTY GOOD CODER! I WILL EVEN DO THE FRONT PAGE AND THE COLOUR SKIN. FOR ME, IT WILL BE PRETTY EASY. WILL I BE ALLOWED TO START THE GAME BY STARTING TO DO A FRONT PAGE?

there are tutorials for it on youtube

it's pretty much the same thing but with only 8 players

The body of my snake is not going to the head

If flag clicked set playerX to (0) Set PlayerY to (0) set length to(50)
