I decided to evaluate a Java game and I chose the famous snake game (actually "snake pit") , since I am just a begginer at these things I need some help :sad: !

What are the typical Java characteristics in this game?? (How can I recognise that this is a Java game - my friend says I can find it all in the source code, but I just dont get it!!!)

Any comment will be usefull!
Please help!!!!

This is the game source code:

/************************************************************************************************
SnakePit.java
Usage:
<applet code="SnakePit.class" width=625 height=430></applet>
Keyboard Controls:
S - Start Game
P - Pause Game
M - Mute Sound
Cursor Keys - Change Direction

I am familiar with Java...I started learning it in school this Year...
Ye have to make a game evaluation and I chose this one... anyways I am stuck at the part were I have to note and explain 4 java characteristics (how do I know this is java? Classes , Methods,... etc...)
Can u please help me???

just get a basic java book and check out the methods and classes available there...

n your program is mainly designed using applet,thread and graphics

import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.applet.AudioClip;

from this line itself u can find this code is designed by java

main class is
public class SnakePit extends Applet implements Runnable {


and before you compile this code in JDK ... just save this file.. in class name SnakePit.java then only your program will run

methods:

public void initLife() {
public void endLife() {

killSnake();
endGame();

and still more methods there in this code u can find urself easily

declarations:
static final int DELAY_INCR = 5;
int width;

this is the method for graphics
public void paint(Graphics g) {

}

if u want to compile this code means just download jdk from java.sun.com and copy this code in note pad editor

and save this file as SnakePit.java

then run in command prompt


javac SnakePit.java

java SnakePit


i just executed this code its working fine
