Hello, I am looking to code an “art based snake” game and wondering if anyone could give me any pointers…

There are a few “tile based” version tutorials, but they are ugly haha.

Ive been thinking about it, but just cant (with my flash/actionscript) knowledge work out how to “Attach” or make another mc follow an mc at a specific point, let alone dynamically “add” another piece.

A perfect example of what i mean is here:  
[http://www.markfennell.com/flash/snake/index.php](http://www.markfennell.com/flash/snake/index.php)

ignoring the smexy graphics, its little rectangle pieces attached at a point. I can quite easily make the head, and how you can control/“drive (basically)” it, but how do you make the other segments attach and follow it? D=

Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated! 🙂

Thank you
