Continuing on the Dive In series, we are going one step further and creating a small game using animation: a clone of the classic video game Snake. As always, this will be as small as possible and many many changes can be made (which I’ll once again try to point out). We’ll start from design all the way to implementing and testing it using the easy Water Fall model. You can run the game and download the source code at my JavaCorner.

So, without further ado, let’s start!

In this post I’ll create a small game project in Java from scratch based on the game SameGame. There are numerous of ways to create this game.

Because this is a small project, we will be using the Waterfall Model. This post is dedicated to a friend of mine, Niko (see, it’s that simple! ;) ). The game along with the source code can be found at pek’s Java Corner.

So, let’s begin!
