Finally I have reached level three! One thing I'm yet to find in KDE is how to get in and really configure stuff properly. Take Snake Race for example. After becoming disenchanted with KDE's tetris, I picked Snake Race as being the closest game to my beloved worm(6). But I want my snake to have brakes, or at least an overall speed control, and that doesn't seem to be an option. This snake has no apetite at all, shying away from the apples, encircling them with its body rather than eating them. Even after permanently disposing of the needlessly distracting opponent snake and the killer bouncing ball, the snake still showed more interest in avoiding apples than eating them. Eventually the computer took pity on us and threw out a whole lot more apples to make them easier to catch. A nice touch, I thought :-) Faced with so much food and the boredom of making figure eights for a whole day, the snake's apetite improved. By last night we were exploring the second room, and this morning we made it all the way into level three before collapsing victorious against the wall, achieving a record two-digit score! Stand back, world, there's no stopping this snake now! Oh... I think I hear 'man sh' calling.
