KSnakeDuel is a snake game in the KDEGames division of KDE 4 or later. It was previously known as KSnakeRace or KSnake.
Gameplay[edit]
There are two game modes:
In the KSnakeDuel mode, two players (either human vs human, or human vs computer) slither with their snake on the playing field and must avoid hitting obstacles (including themselves). The first snake that hits something loses the round. A single game is played over multiple rounds and the player who won the most rounds wins the game.
The classic KSnake mode is a singleplayer game in which the player controls a snake on a field and must eat the random apples and other fruit that randomly spawn, while avoiding obstacles like bushes. Bushes may also randomly spawn. Each fruit makes the snake longer and the game is over when you hit an obstacle or yourself. The goal is to reach a highscore.
