HyperSnake is a classic “Snake” arcade game fully ported to iOS from the original Python/Pygame version. The game is built using SpriteKit and supports portrait orientation only.
- Choose your snake color
- Select difficulty: Easy, Normal, Hard
- Grid-based movement for precise control
- Score displayed on screen
- Simple touch controls (tap/swipe to change direction)
- Game Over screen with option to restart
- Supports iPhone and iPad (Portrait Mode only)
- Swipe or tap on the screen to change the snake's direction.
- Menu allows selecting snake color and difficulty.
- START button launches the game.
- After Game Over, tap the screen to return to the menu.
HyperSnake also includes a fully featured Apple Watch Edition, built with SwiftUI and optimized for all modern Apple Watch sizes. This version faithfully recreates the classic HyperSnake experience with:
- Color selection (9 snake colors)
- Easy / Normal / Hard difficulty levels
- Smooth timer-based gameplay
- Digital Crown controls for precise turning
- Scrollable menus using the Crown
The WatchOS app is included in the project and can be built and run directly on a real watch or simulator. It is a complete, independent port of the original Python game designed specifically for the Apple Watch interface.
Control the snake by rotating the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch:
- Rotate clockwise → turn the snake 90° clockwise
- Rotate counterclockwise → turn the snake 90° counterclockwise
Each rotation of the crown corresponds to a single turn of the snake.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/kv34dev/HyperSnake_iOS
- Open the project in Xcode.
- Select the target you want to run:
- HyperSnake_iOS for iPhone or iPad
- HyperSnake_WatchOS for Apple Watch
- Connect your device (iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch) or use the appropriate simulator.
- Build & Run the selected target.
