贪吃蛇游戏相信很多朋友都听说或者玩过，特别是以前使用过诺基亚手机的朋友，这在当时就是诺基亚手机的专配游戏。
本篇文章讲述如何在vb.net中编写此游戏代码。
一种方法是可以使用控件数组，在用户界面上使用如多个图片框构成整个背景，将相关图片框设置为蛇身来绘制出整条蛇。这种方法比较简单，处理速度也快。
另外一种方法是通过GDI+在用户界面上绘制此游戏，本文将采用此方法，

一、需要解决的问题
1、绘制蛇身。
2、蛇的移动
3、产生食物
4、当吃到食物（与食物发生碰撞时），使蛇增加一段长度。
5、当碰到边界或者自身时，游戏结束。

二、涉及到的类
1、单个蛇身（蛇头）：clsSnakeSingleBody
2、整条蛇：clsSnakeBody
3、食物：clsFood

三、如何解决问题
1、不论单个的蛇身还是蛇头，都是一个clsSnakeSingleBody类，该类中有个nextBody 属性，这是clsSnakeSingleBody类型，指向了下一个段蛇身。
在clsSnakeBody类中，有一个snakehead（蛇头）属性，这是clsSnakeSingleBody类型。
当得到了snakehead（蛇头）后，通过它的nextBody属性不断地遍历，可以获得每一段蛇的坐标、大小（实际就是一个矩形），结合Graphics的FillRectangle方法，就可以绘制出整条蛇。
2、蛇（代码中实例为snake）的移动，实际最重要的是蛇头的移动。通过在窗口界面设置计时器组件（代码中为Timer1），每隔一段时间就按照clsSnakeBody类的direction（方向）属性计算蛇头坐标位置。如下图：

重新绘制蛇头，通过nextBody属性不断地遍历蛇身，获得的每一段蛇身的坐标都是前一段蛇身（头）的坐标，遍历的时候完成对蛇身的绘制。
3、设置食物坐标位置，通过Random类得到食物坐标，将得到的坐标与每一段蛇身（头）坐标对比，如果重合，那么重新获得食物坐标。
4、当蛇吃到食物（蛇头与食物碰撞）时，新建一个clsSnakeSingleBody实例（代码中为newsnakehead），坐标同食物坐标，使snake的snakehead属性指向newsnakehead，而newsnakehead的nextBody指向原来的蛇头，这样就顺利生成了新的一段。
5、通过Timer1的Tick事件移动蛇时，先预先计算蛇头下一步的位置，与边界位置比对，如果超出了边界，视为死亡，触发snake的snakeCrossWall事件。同样，预先计算蛇头下一步的位置，与蛇身各段坐标比对，如果坐标相同，视为发生了碰撞，触发snakeCrossBody事件。

四、扩展内容
1、在代码中设置了A按键和S按键来实现暂停和继续操作，实际对应Timer1的Stop和Start方法。
2、当蛇吃到食物时触发snakeEat事件，除了重新得到一个食物外，还可以获得积分。当吃的食物越多，获得的积分越高。

五、设计和代码
窗体界面如下：

1、clsSnakeSingleBody类

'一段蛇身/蛇头

2、clsSnakeBody类

3、clsFood类

4、窗体代码

Public Class Form1Const boxWidth As Integer = 20Const boxHeight As Integer = 20Dim WithEvents snake As clsSnakeBodyDim food As clsFoodDim snakeCount As IntegerPrivate Sub DrawLines(ByVal g As Graphics)Dim penGrid As New Pen(New SolidBrush(Color.Black), 1.0)For i As Integer = 0 To picBackGround.Width Step boxWidthg.DrawLine(penGrid, New Point(i, 0), New Point(i, picBackGround.Height))NextFor j As Integer = 0 To picBackGround.Height Step boxHeightg.DrawLine(penGrid, New Point(0, j), New Point(picBackGround.Width, j))NextEnd SubPrivate Sub btnStart_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnStart.ClickDim g As Graphics = picBackGround.CreateGraphicsg.Clear(Color.White)snake = New clsSnakeBody(g, picBackGround.Width, picBackGround.Height)food = New clsFood(g, snake, picBackGround.Width, picBackGround.Height)snakeCount = 0Timer1.Start()End SubPrivate Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.TickDim g As Graphics = picBackGround.CreateGraphicsg.Clear(Color.White)snake.move(g, food)End Sub'这个对方向按键无效Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDownEnd SubProtected Overrides Function ProcessDialogKey(keyData As Keys) As BooleanSelect Case keyDataCase Keys.UpIf snake.direction = "up" Or snake.direction = "down" Then Exit Selectsnake.direction = "up"Case Keys.DownIf snake.direction = "up" Or snake.direction = "down" Then Exit Selectsnake.direction = "down"Case Keys.LeftIf snake.direction = "left" Or snake.direction = "right" Then Exit Selectsnake.direction = "left"Case Keys.RightIf snake.direction = "left" Or snake.direction = "right" Then Exit Selectsnake.direction = "right"Case Keys.ATimer1.Stop()Case Keys.STimer1.Start()Case ElseReturn MyBase.ProcessDialogKey(keyData)End SelectEnd Function'碰到墙壁Private Sub snake_snakeDead() Handles snake.snakeCrossWallTimer1.Stop()MessageBox.Show("碰到墙壁")Call gameover()End Sub'吃到食物Private Sub snake_snakeEat() Handles snake.snakeEatDim g As Graphics = picBackGround.CreateGraphicsfood = New clsFood(g, snake, picBackGround.Width, picBackGround.Height)snakeCount += 10lblCount.Text = snakeCountEnd Sub'碰到自身Private Sub snake_snakeCrossBody() Handles snake.snakeCrossBodyTimer1.Stop()MessageBox.Show("碰到自身")Call gameover()End Sub'结束本局Private Sub gameover()End SubEnd Class

六、运行结果

七、遗留的问题
1、蛇死亡（超过边界或者碰到自身）时，按下“S”按键，蛇就复活了。
解决办法：在按下S按键时检查snake是否已经挂了，如果挂了，S按键就不再发挥作用。
2、在检测蛇头和蛇身碰撞时，实际上由于代码中我们仅仅预测了蛇头的下一步坐标位置，而没有预测蛇身每一段的下一个坐标位置，所以代码中如果蛇头恰好碰撞蛇尾（最后一段蛇身），在实际上蛇头和蛇尾同时前进，是碰不到的。
解决方法：在蛇头和蛇身碰撞时，将蛇身每一段的坐标变化也考虑进去，在检测是否碰撞。
3、当蛇占据整个游戏区域时，并没有结束游戏，因为没有相关代码。
要给比较简单的解决方法：获得游戏区域的大小，计算可以分隔的方块（蛇身）数量，如果蛇身长度等于方块总数，那么表示已经占据整个游戏区域。
