Worm

Worm

A classic snake game written entirely in 6502 assembly language for the Commander X16 and Neo6502 retro computers.

About

Guide your worm around the playfield, eat flowers to grow, and dodge the spiders that steadily fill up the grid. Simple to learn, tough to master.

• Eat flowers to grow longer and rack up your score.
• Avoid spiders — they spawn every 10 flowers and don't move, but they block your path. Up to 8 can be on screen at once.
• Collect hearts to gain extra lives (max 3).
• Eat the spiders — when you're at full lives, eating a flower turns all spiders yellow and vulnerable. Gobble them up before your next meal turns them deadly again.
• Don't hit the walls or yourself — there's no wrapping here. One wrong turn and you lose a life.

Features a menu jingle, sound effects, an AI-driven demo/attract mode. Documentation for the project was created by AI, sorry - I'm a coder not an author! :-)
