A neat little port from QuickBasic (remember the old qbasic days?) [adapted] Nibbles game! I added a few extra features, like Adjustable play area, optional 'CopyCat' enemy, Game over pixelate effect and pause function. You can change the game speed on startup too. This would be a good litte extra to throw in a big application like a replacement shell for example.. PLEASE COMMENT so I can improve\fix the code! **I have updated the code as per request of Andrew Allen. See comments below for more information. =)

Hi Andrew! Thanks for your comment! I dont know what you mean about dying without running into the wall or snake? Do you mean it dies randomly or something? Please get back to me on this one so I can rectify the mistake! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
