Quite fun. though when using the pathfinder it moves soooooooo slow. i have made my own version to! changes: i added night/day time mode('n' for night and 'd' for day) fullscreen(if you press 'f') i want to email you the source so that other people can play this slightly improved version!

It uses A* when you press 'a' while in game or by passing the "--auto" command line argument. The snake will then attempt to find a path from its current location to the food every time it moves.

Nicely done classic remake. The addition of the astar algorithm has an impressive effect :-)
