Amit

Your green snake must stay away from pink ones

 Game will start in 3 seconds


your score is : 1      top score is 1000

So it is not backwards compatible.
To find your bash version:-
Code:
Last login: Mon Apr 24 07:15:34 on console
AMIGA:amiga~> bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin16)

AMIGA:amiga~> _

It is not easy to include users who do not have versions of languages that you write for and possibly unable to upgrade to. So be aware when you write your code to state which version of language you are using as that helps the user to decide whether or not to run your code.
We all learn the hard way.
Good luck and keep up with the programming learning curve.
We look forwards to seeing more from you...

Heh, I wrote an incomplete snake clone a few years ago on my SparcStation LX running Gentoo. I'll post a link to a video of it once I get a chance who knows I might even dig up the source and see about finishing it. It's just plain ncurses... and uses a pretty inefficient implementation so the longer your "Wooly Bear" as I called it gets the slower it runs! Here is a link to a video of my LX running and me dorking around with it SparcStation LX booting Gentoo Linux - YouTube
