Creating Snake Game: Few problems.

[Nickv17]

Hey, new guy here. I'm struggling in my Comp Sci class on my snake project. I'm trying to set up a timer to make my snake move automatically, to make my snake grow, (My teacher did this in about four lines of code, so I think it should be easy, and a game over method, which I have no clue what to do. Code would be appreciated with a little explanation of why it works. Heres my Code. I have other classes (I think they're called) but I think all we need is this one. Thanks.

Hey, new guy here.

Welcome!

... I'm trying to set up a timer to make my snake move automatically, to make my snake grow, (My teacher did this in about four lines of code, so I think it should be easy, and a game over method, which I have no clue what to do. ...

A bit more detail would be helpful here. What problems are there in your code? Does it compile? Does it throw exceptions? What does it do that it's not supposed to do and what does it not do that it's supposed to do.

Code would be appreciated with a little explanation of why it works. Heres my Code. I have other classes (I think they're called) but I think all we need is this one. Thanks.

That's not how it works here and repeated requests for code-solutions for homework can be a basis for banning. Rather please ask your very specific questions about your code and we'll be more than happy to help.

Again, welcome.

@Fubarable: I don't think the OP was looking for a full solution. I think he was asking for smaller examples that he could put together and modify slightly to fit his problem. I could be wrong though, in which case I am completely with you.

@OP: As Fubarable said, we really need more info. Having recently written a snake game myself due to boredom, I can say that its not that complex, however, we don't know how far you've gotten, so we need more info (Can the snake move at all? What are you not understanding about Timers? etc.)
