How would you design the data structure for the snake game found on basic Nokia mobile phones? Also, describe some functions that would be used as the game progresses.

Question

Accepted Answer

Designing a data structure for a simple snake game on basic Nokia mobiles involves managing the snake's position and game state.

Use a 2D array to represent the game grid, e.g., char grid[10][10];
Maintain a list of coordinates for the snake's body, e.g., List snake;
Define a Point structure to hold x and y coordinates, e.g., struct Point { int x; int y; };
Track the direction of the snake using an enum, e.g., enum Direction { UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT };
Implement functions like 'moveSnake()' to update the snake's position based on direction.
