lol, i just saw this. (((= have a plus!
Actually it comes from QBasic 
Never thought of it before, but weird that Triton took the name for their worm game from QBasic Nibbles. It’s not like it was very original worm game.
Should propably check if the levels are same in both QB and FT2 version, that would explain the naming and give you easy access to level data.

Heh, been waiting for this since I gave up FT2! Got this little fella running and had a wave of boredom nostalgia!

I already have the info on all the FT2 levels somewhere on my system… I’ll dig it up for you

Patches welcome.
Just post your changes (code) in this thread, someone will review them, and I’ll eventually merge them into the code. Else, wait until I have some free time and do it myself.

I am with Crytek on this; totally new to LUA, but not new to programming, so working on this project would be a great way for me to learn how it all works, with the aim of making positive contributions to the scripting when I get up to speed.
Cheers.
Ok, so i fixed the “bug” that killed you if you pressed the arrow to make the snake go backwards. Since this is not normal Nibbles behavior and like someone mentionned it’s like the snake goes inside out to eat himself…
the only modified code is in this function:
-- Keyboard input
function key_handler(dialog, key)
if (key.name == "esc") then
dialog:close()
elseif (
key.name == "up" or
key.name == "down" or
key.name == "left" or
key.name == "right"
)
then
if (
(key.name == "up" and current_direction ~= "down") or
(key.name == "down" and current_direction ~= "up") or
(key.name == "left" and current_direction ~= "right") or
(key.name == "right" and current_direction ~= "left")
)
then
current_direction = key.name
end
end
end
I’ll attach the main.lua file for conner (or anyone with the required privileges to update it)
edit: another thing that should be fixed is that right now colored dots can appear under the snake, it can get annoying when you have a long snake…since you have to wait to know where the dot is, let alone getting it.
I checked the patch. This:
elseif (
key.name == "up" or
key.name == "down" or
key.name == "left" or
key.name == "right"
)
then
if (
(key.name == "up" and current_direction ~= "down") or
(key.name == "down" and current_direction ~= "up") or
(key.name == "left" and current_direction ~= "right") or
(key.name == "right" and current_direction ~= "left")
)
then
current_direction = key.name
end
Can be reduced to this:
elseif (
(key.name == "up" and current_direction ~= "down") or
(key.name == "down" and current_direction ~= "up") or
(key.name == "left" and current_direction ~= "right") or
(key.name == "right" and current_direction ~= "left")
)
then
current_direction = key.name
end
Works good, though. I will update sometime this week.
Heh, indeed…I guess I was scared of touching the basic key handling code. : P
It would be interesting to make this little game somewhat useful too, like having it trigger samples/patterns, as an XY device or anything that would influence the current track.
write/influence a tune by playing nibbles O_O
that’s an awesome, awesome idea!
I thought about the other way around, too, a game where enemes/stuff show up depending on what’s going on in the song, but I thought that would be nicer with actual draw functions… not that I think a full blown game is feasible speed wise, and it would never be “a good game” anyway… but the other way around, now that could be SICK.

this is a really cool idea,me personally couldnt care less about nibbles,but if it was being made like this idea,then it also was usefull,and more fun
v0.2:
Fix: User submitted patch (thanks nimitz) for the “bug” that killed you if you pressed the arrow to make the snake go backwards. Fix: food no longer appears under the snake.

Beat that!!
Shopped!
Nope… Even better!
– Snake crashed
if (
snake[1].x < 1 or
snake[1].x > matrix_width or
snake[1].y < 1 or
snake[1].y > matrix_height or
color_snake == get_cell_color(snake[1].x, snake[1].y)
)
then
–renoise.app():show_error("Game over! You’re score is: " … score)
renoise.app():show_error(“Game over! You’re score is: 1,000,000,000,000,000”)
current_dialog:show()
reset()
return
end
Obviously photoshopped! Renoise scripting editor doesn’t support coloring arbitrary lines red.

All silliness aside, I was thinking it would be good to have some options in the game;
Difficulty level
Grid size
etc.
Grid size would be easy to do; just swap the fixed number for a variable.
What would be really mental, would be to assign the grid size variables to a incremental loop, so the grid pulsates in size!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
