Open Snake, check the instructions and begin a round. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins.

Put the rules into context
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
Check this before moving on
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
