How To: Terminal: Snake Game

Well, I think the Apple developers are having just too much fun leaving these unix based games in to tinker with when no one is looking.

With that in mind I think we will do the same.

In order to do this we will need to use Terminal. To locate Terminal simply navigate to your Applications folder then to the Utilities Folder. Within the Utilities folder you will locate Terminal.

Simply launch and then enter the following:

emacs

After you have pressed return then press the escape (esc) button on your keyboard found in the top row at the left hand side. Then press x on your keyboard. Then type the following:

snake

Press return on your keyboard and snake will appear as shown at the beginning of this post.

Enjoy, and remember if you get caught playing this whilst working…you don’t know me!
