Hey guys!
So I have a java assignment I am supposed to do and submit after thanksgiving break.
I dont really need help with the actual code, but I do not seem to understand the English being used in the assignment so was hoping someone could explain what they want me to do?
Here is my assignment: http://users.sdsc.edu/~phil/cse11/assignments/PR7.pdf
On page 6 there is a development strategy, I do not understand what I am supposed to do on step 3, it wants me to develop the snake class, but I am really confused on what goes in that class.
Also in step 7 they want us to develop a grid using ASCII graphics, how does that work?

No need to provide me with any written code, just explanation of what I am supposed to do would be a great help.

Thanks!

I believe step 3 is to just make the snake class, and have it instantiate the snake itself. Something about an array of coordinates to make up the snake. I didn't read the whole document, but I am guessing from what it said that the coordinates are what make up the snake. It honestly wasn't that clear, even being a native speaker.

ASCII is just the basic pre-Unicode character set. Look up an ASCII chart on Google. There are all kinds of shapes and characters on it you can use to create simple text graphics.
