## Introduction

Snake Race is a game of speed and agility. You are a hungry snake and are trying to eat all the apples in the room before getting out!

## Rules of the Game

### To Win

To win Snake Race you must eat all the apples in the room and leave through the exit that opens at the top.

- Each apple you eat makes you grow longer.

- If you hit a wall, you die.

- If you hit yourself, you die.

- If you are hit in the head by a bouncing ball, you die.

- If you take too long to eat the apples, more of them appear.

### Scoring

Before the timer has run out, you score:

- 1 point for a red apple + a bonus depending on your skill level.

- 5 points for a gold apple + a bonus for your skill level + 2 points for each computer snake + 2 points for each bouncing ball.

- Twice your level number when you exit the room + a bonus depending on your skill level.

After the timer has run out, you score:

- 1 point for a red apple.

- 2 points for a gold apple.

- Points equal to your level number when you exit the room + a bonus depending on your skill level.

When the computer snake eats an object you loose:

- 2 points for a red apple.

- 5 points for a gold apple.

20 points for killing a computer snake.

## Customization

### Create Your Own Levels

To create your own level, copy one of the levels from $KDEDIR/share/apps/ksnake/levels to /.kde/share/apps/ksnake and edit it with a bitmap editor. You can then select it in Options/Starting room.
