Hello there. I'm a new poster here.
I mainly registered on this website because I need MMF2 related advice. I've been testing several MMF2 examples and I'm having problems with Chaos' Snakes tutorial. I copied the code exactly, even modeled my sprites after it. But to no avail; the Snake Head still jumps around when it turns, and the Snake Body lags behind by one grid.
Please help me?

It would be best if you posted your mfa file so someone can trouble shoot what is happening.

I tried to download your example file but it just redirected me to the Verizon front page.
From what you're describing here, I suspect your Action Points and Hot Spots are a bit off. This is the "center" of the Active Object; it basically orients everything around the Action Point, including rotations (which likely needs to happen when moving the snake through the grid).
I'd try moving the Action Points to the center of the segments of the snake, and see if that helps at all. Meanwhile, if you can figure out how to share your example that would be helpful.

You just need to fix the hotspots on the snake head object - they need to always be in the top-left corner. At the moment, they move depending on which direction the head is facing.
EDIT: S-M-R beat me to it

Where can I actually post my mfa file? Is there an option on this forum? That would greatly help for future posts!
Edit: Finally tried out the advice and it worked! Thanks everybody! Now I can get on with my project.

I simply did an Internet search for "free web hosting":
http://www.free-webhosts.com/
You should be able to find a current rating and more details on how to have someone host your files for others to use.

Just for the record, I didn't have any trouble downloading the file...

Yeah, it must have been a one-time fluke or whatever, on my end. I was able to download the example after another go at it.

Hope this works again.

Here's my attempt at the second example. Now I'm perplexed on why it dies when it tries to turn south when it comes from the east. Nevermind about why its not eating the dot, I'm more worried about the direction problems.
