Description Simon Oosthoek 2003-03-04 11:59:54 UTC 
Version:           0.3.1 (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:          Linux

I'm used to playing snake2 on my nokia phone. The controls are with just 2 buttons instead of 4. This takes some getting used to, but once used to it, it's hard to use the current 4 key setup of ksnake. The 2 key control is intuitive in that the snake can only change by going left or right. A 180 turn takes just 2 key-presses. 

The fact that you can die because you press a button twice (right, right -> dead) is very strange. In snake2 this is not possible, but I think in ksnake dying should not happen in this case.

Anyway, this is not essential for me, I can also not use ksnake and be happy ;-)
