I'm trying to make my snake die when it touches itself. Can anyone help? Here's my project by the way https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/239544972/

No need to set the direction to the current direction when a key press is doing nothing - just use if not direction = value instead of using if/then/else.

If you're going to use clones for this you can't really use touching sprite for detecting when you hit another part of the snake. So it starts getting more complicated. One option would be to move another sprite first to see if it you'll end up touching the snake.

Personally I much prefer a grid system for this kind of game - see my projects

Mabe you should make a new topic instead of asking on one that's 2 years old.

Easy, use broadcasting, then make it so that you somehow die, but then it will broadcast a message, then you can create a death screen sprite, then make the screen recieve the message, then appear
