ILB_Snake v1.0.0
I_LIKE_BREAD7

Introduction
This plugin creates a Snake minigame.

Features
This plugin creates a new scene and plays a snake minigame.
The plugin handles input, graphics, and sound effects on its own, so can be used as-is, but can also be customized using parameters and plugin commands.
The plugin also allows you to define different skins for the snake's body and food.
It also saves the total score to a variable and lets you define custom common events to be played when the minigame starts, ends or is paused/cancelled (escape is pressed) by the player. That allows you to customize the behavior (display custom game instructions, display the total score, pause/cancel the game etc.)
The plugin handles keyboard input (up/down/left/right) and simple mouse controls (the snake will move towards the direction that was clicked).

How to Use
Add it using the plugin manager and configure the necessary plugin parameters.
The only parameters you have to change are the common event ids and the score variable id.
These are optional so if you don't want to use them you can set them to 0 instead.
If you do that the game will not run any custom common events and will not save the score to any variable.
For an example of how to use all the features see the attached demo.

Plugin Commands
* ILB_Snake start 5 # Starts the game at level 5 (lower levels are more difficult), accepts variables on the \V[ID] format, e.g. ILB_Snake start \V[1]
* ILB_Snake stop # Stops the minigame and returns to the map
* ILB_Snake reset # Resets the state of the game
* ILB_Snake snakeimageoffset 0,0 48,48 # Redefines the "Snake Image Offsets" parameter, the two image offsets (0,0 and 48,48) will now be alternating (one segment 0,0 next segment 48,48 and so on)
* ILB_Snake foodimageoffset 0,0 48,48 # Redefines the "Food Image Offsets" parameter, the two image offsets (0,0 and 48,48) will now be alternating (one food image 0,0 next 48,48 and so on)
* ILB_Snake snakeimage img/characters/Actor1 # Redefines the "Snake Image Path" parameter
* ILB_Snake foodimage img/characters/Actor2 # Redefines the "Food Image Path" parameter

* ILB_Snake crashse {"name":"Absorb1","volume":90,"pitch":100,"pan":0} # Redefines the "Crash Sound Effect" parameter

Demo

The common event, variable and switch ids are a little weird because I copied them from another project, but only the ones used in the demo have names, all the others are blank, so they shouldn't be too difficult to find.
