Can you make a snake game in game salad

Actually I know you can and there is a template out there but I'm not looking to spend money
Is there any tutorials out there (vidoes) that I can follow.

Thanks, Brandon

There's sort of an unwritten rule around here that if something is available as a paid template, it's not considerate to post answers to questions about how to recreate the same thing for free.

If I was standing in a mall selling airbrushed t-shirts for $15 and someone stood next to me and said, "Anyone know how to make airbrushed t-shirts? I don't want to spend $15" I'd be pretty ticked off. I'm not saying it's never okay to ask for help when there's a template available but it's just good to keep some perspective about how we all have to make a living somehow.

So, to answer your question: Yes, you can make a snake game (you can make just about anything using GameSalad) and there are MANY tutorial videos that will show you how to make an actor move when clicking/tapping a button, swiping, pressing a key, etc. Start by Googling GameSalad movement controls and clicking on the Videos tab.

Ya thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind

I think it would work if you spawned a new rectangle each time you press the turn key and constrain its position so that it changes its size in 1 direction so that it looks like it is moving. I'm not sure now how to do the opposite tho. You need to track which actor (which part of the snake) spawned in what order and start changing its size until it gets to zero, than change to the next part.

It is certainly possible. But when we get joints in GS, wowzer it's going to be way easier.
