3DSnake v0.6 - WIP
w3eisGc.png

With all the classic homebrew being created I thought I would have a shot myself.​
This is still a very early version. I will be adding better images(wisp), sound?​

INFO:​
Max snake segments is set to 500.​
KNOWN PROBLEMS:​
If the snake "dies" whilst moving down it will cause game to be in infinite gameover.​
CONTROLS:​
Up, Down, Left, Right - Movement(Both Circle Pad and D-Pad)​
X - Restart Game​
A - Add a Segment to snake(Mostly for debug, can break collision detection)​
Start - Returns to Homebrew Channel :'(​
So here is my very early version of 3DSnake.(Need to update this vid soon XD)​

Here is an update video of what next release will look like

You can download the early version here:​
3dsx, elf and smdh files are included in download.​

Thank you for the link.
It works only with ninjhax?

I'm sure some users would like to have the .3ds format for gateway too. (releasing 3ds/3dsx/elf is a good idea, the elf could be used with future homebrew launchers or being used to change the format if needed).
edit: but it's up to you to choose the format you want to release.

I updated the wiki and added a the link.
if you have an icon, I can add it to the wiki too.


A little issue with the readme :
You said "roor" instead of root.

Thank you, i've make video, play with citra...


Naw thanks man.

I see that there is a bug when an apple is close to the border... hmm. Also just uploaded new build with snake eating himself detection, did some house keeping, also game over is permanent now(no moving to resume haha) Pressing X restarts game. Also a known bug is if the snake "dies" whilst moving down it will cause game to be in infinite gameover. Fix is in next upload. Hopefully i'll have my new graphics working (wisp) :P

It's pretty fun. Is there a limit to the length and also maybe a different colour for the background as white messes with my eyes, feels like the apples or strawberries or moving. I notice that when your on the very top of the screen, you see the half of the snake on the bottom of the screen too. All in all really fun though. Also is it that when you die you can't continue or is it when you eat yourself, cue David Blaine lol.

Yes there is a limit to the size of the snake(500 segments). Oh yes there will be different backgrounds. The whole game is getting a graphics overhaul. Snake going off screen is a bug. Dying in general will cause game over, the user is then required(currently) to press x which will reset the games state

it makes me have to reload the entire game sometimes as x does nothing.

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
