I am making a snake game and learning XNA at the same time. I have 3 classes :
Game.cs, Snake.cs and Apple.cs
My problem is more of a conceptual problem, I want to
know which class is really responsible for ...
detecting collision of snake head on apple/itself/wall?
which class should increase the snakes speed, size?
It seems to
me that however much I try and put the snake stuff into snake.cs that game.cs has to
know a lot about the snake, like :
-- I want to increase the score depending on size of snake, the score variable is inside game.cs, which means now I have to ask the snake its size on every hit of the apple... seems a bit unclean all this highly coupled code.
or
-- I DO NOT want to place the apple under the snake... now the apple suddenly has to
know about all the snake parts, my head hurts when I think of that. Maybe there should be some sort of AppleLayer.cs class that should
know about the snake...
Whats the best approach in such a simple scenario? Any tips welcome.
