It could be nice seeing the lenght of snake by right-clicking the snake. It could show:

Adder (#1) (12)
Rattlesnake (#2) (18)
Serpent (#3) (15)

The second number could indicate the lenght of snake.

It could be easier when handling a puzzle with snakes and snake lenghts; for example in TCB Holding Vats 3S2W.

What do you think about this?

Well, someone from the dev team must have an opinion, judging by the "Needs to be investigated" arrow on this thread...

np: 13 & God - Walk (13 & God)

I think it's an interesting idea. It will certain help those who are having problems with counting. I'm not sarcastic this time since I can't think of any fun in counting puzzles yet.

But then I haven't seen any real snake length counting puzzles yet. I do see lots of fuse counting puzzles. And people seem to have no problems with that.

By the way, this FR is definitely NOT an excuse to not finish Penthouse.

I haven't seen any excessive snake counting puzzles yet. There are definitely a few that require a snake to be a precise length, though it's usually less than 10 squares. However, I can see the future holding longer snake countings...which may be brought about if this FR is implemented.

Still, it'd be a nice tool to have. Beethro doesn't like counting, as evidenced by both KDD level 9 and Perfection.

On the one hand, even the difference between ten squares and nine can be irritating to count if the snake is on a non-gridmarked floor. And on the other, long snakes are often used as timers, so knowing their length would be helpful.

So, yes, I fully approve of this.

Hey, Vike, don't hurry.

You see that right to the left of topic when you choose it in feature requests board appeared yellow arrow. It means that it will be improved(probably and hopefully). Maybe in next patch.

It has been there a very long, long time.

I'm just waiting the green mark.

What, like a full freaking month?

There's those pesky whole other games (DROD RPG, Frogs & Mice, etc.) that want to get finished and released currently, so I wouldn't exactly hold my breath for new features to be implemented in DROD right now...

np: Nine Inch Nails - Me, I'm Not (Year Zero)
