Oh wow, did not expect to see myself in this video when I started watching it. Honored to be in it! Your wiring seems to be very similar to mine in the end haha, but super nice that you managed to fix my bug and upgrade the display (super cool idea). I only realized the issue after I finished building the whole thing. Did you manage to get your version to run at any decent speed? My clock had to be pretty slow to somewhat counteract all sorts of delays in the wiring, or otherwise it would feel super unresponsive.

@mattbatwings Рік тому

I definitely took inspiration layout-wise (such as putting the apple system in the front rather than the back, genius move btw), but I really tried my best not to copy any circuits or logic directly so that I could still challenge myself. I’m also really happy I could fix the bug. I should say though, there does still exist an infinite snake bug in my game, but it involves 2 unlucky apple placements in a row, which is much more rare. It runs at about 100 redstone ticks per frame. I’m sure it could be optimized by maybe 50%, but beyond that you would probably need a different implementation. Also, now that you’re here, I’m really curious, how did you handle apples spawning on the snake? It seems like such a hard problem, but maybe I’m overthinking it. Cheers, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

@TheGunMasterDigital Рік тому

@@mattbatwings Haha yes, I think the apple problem is really hard to deal with. I was surprised when you mentioned in the video that you messed with wiring to make the apple dodge the snake. But I did exactly the same thing you did in the end :) In my case the apple detection is not done in the cells themselves. I simply used the X/Y coordinates of the apple and of the head, and compared those against each other on each axis individually. So without conscious effort, my design already made sure that if the apple spawns in the body, it's just ignored. There is only one "proper" way of dealing with the apple that I could think of: detect when the apple spawned in the snake, and just respawn it. But of course if you're unlucky it could happen multiple times. So with a fixed clock rate this could break the game. This is the approach I took in the past for a minesweeper game though, where multiple mines could spawn on the same tile otherwise. Here the delay was no issue, since generation of the game could just take however long it needed to.

@Fulmine345 Рік тому

@@mattbatwings First of all congratulations for the creation and for the video. Might it make sense to compare the time between the creation of the apple and when it is eaten? If the apple is eaten immediately after being created then it means that it was created inside the snake, and therefore it must not stretch; otherwise, if some time passes, it means that it was created outside, so the snake can stretch when he eat the apple. I don't know if this solution makes sense or if it's feasible

@Gekoloudios Рік тому

Here's the slower but probably better solution: each time you need to spawn an apple, make a list of all the non-snake squares and then pick a random one out of that list. Then you can be certain that the apple cannot ever spawn inside the snake. This is also better than any 'repeat random gen' methods as those become hella inefficient when the snake starts covering up most of the screen. I think you'd find it really fun to try and make snake in actual code (without bugs), and you'd also learn a lot about how would be the best way to approach the game in redstone.

While the snake's cells were 4x4, I was thinking you could make the apple 2x2 (just don't light the outer ring). It was a little difficult to differentiate between the snake and the apple, just as it was difficult to differentiate the snake's position, but you fixed that and in my opinion made the apple a little easier to differentiate.

@tacogardevoir1794 7 місяців тому

I'm not a big redstone or programming guy but I think I came up with a decent system for snake off the top of my head. The only thing you need to keep track of would be the head position, and a value of each cell. The head logic is super simple being able to move into any space tracking a length value. each time you move into a space it first sees if the target space has an apple. If not, then then a new head is created in the direction given with a value of length+minimum snake size (possibly wrong but you'll see). Each time the snake moves, all segments except the head tick down by one, resetting to a blank space upon reaching 0. If the player is set to move into an apple, all current snake spaces and the head increase their length value by 1 before moving causing the end segment to linger for an extra movement tick. Then all you'd need to do is store the last direction of the head, and allow the snake to move onto snake spaces if their value is 1 so you can go where your tail just disappeared, and apply a loss and reset condition upon contact with the edge of the playspace or a snake tile and you should be done. Like I said I'm not versed with coding beyond old scratch programming but I thought of this and was proud of myself. Edit: I just watched further and realized that my method would also help with apple spawning as all you have to do is set the apple to not spawn on a space with a length value of more than 0, as well as making it not spawn after the snake "Moves" so you don't need to worry about it spawning on the space you are moving into.

Instead of trying to find all the possible free spaces to spawn the apple in order to avoid the snake, you could just generate a random place, and check if its a snake, and if so then go back to generating a space. The one problem is that it's possible that it could keep randomly picking spots where the snake is, delaying the game. In a normal computer, this doesn't really matter because it can do this so fast it doesn't matter as it is unnoticeable, but I don't know if the Minecraft version would be fast enough for that.

@cameron7374 Рік тому

Well, you don't need to wait for the apple to respawn so it can keep trying while the snake moves. That way there may be a short delay before the new apple appears but I doubt anyone would care as long as it doesn't lock up the entire game.

@justsomeguy5628 Рік тому

If I'm not mistaken, there is still a theoretical bug that would make the snake not delete the tail. When the old problem happens, with an apple next to the head of the snake, then the snake eating it will cause the tail not to be removed, as it should. However, the next frame would have the segment right before the head where the tail arrow points, causing it to yet again not delete the tail. This would actually keep happening until the snake dies, but it is an edge case that might not actually cause the bug anyway. This is a great example of how seemingly complex games can be made (relatively) small if the person is good at computational redstone(like you). I always love seeing how you make these, and you vids are well made and easy to understand, making it feel like fun rather than learning, while still actually make us a little smarter in the process.
