This is really annoying me. Whats going on is whnever i try ad make the food (Green Cubes) the snake won't move and the text showing how many points you've got doesn't show up, But when you delete the FOR NEXT loop that makes the food the snake moves and the Text shows. I Don't Know How to get both to work at the same time.

Hope You Guys Can Help
Thanks In Advance
Axelman.

Ok, the reason why this doesn't work is because the for loop has to finish executing before the movement commands work, so when the final food piece has been placed, only then will it get to the do...loop. I recommend you make use of the timer() command and a subroutine.
When you place a foodpiece, you set a variable as timer + rnd(1000) in this case (might I note that this is only 1 second, you might want to increase it). Then you put an if-statement in your loop checking whether timer() is greater than the variable. If it is, jump to the subroutine, and add another foodpiece.

Well, I tried it But it didn't work so i've tried this instead, which is the old 'Classic' Way to play snake, with one piece appearing at a time. I still have to add the tail tho.

Thanks All!!
