his own body blocks the way between head and food.

'2020-03-17 Snake AI-1_2 fix the duplicate segment problem
' Now a new mystery, an ocassional flashing duplicate box
'2020-03-17 Install standard snake rules for testing brain evolving
' First setup XY type and rename and convert variables using XY type.
' 2nd Make snake brain and whole game only dependent sqrsX, sqrsY and sq for screen size
' Got it!!! the code ends with hangup head next to fruit with 99 (1 cell less that whole board)
' cells of snake length, no new place can be found for fruit, perfect finish and no duplicate
' cells! PLUS now can turn on a dime go up one colume and down the next in 2 key press.
' Now add autoPilot on -1 / off 0 toggle control, OK snake rules tested when human pilots snake.
' Help screen & independent speeds for human or AI.
'2020-03-18 "Snake AI-1_4 fix tester" The AI tester needs to save Head(x, y) in case the AI
' does not change the head(x, y) or tries to move it diagonally.
'2020-03-18 Snake AI-1_5 SHARE change AS XY
' DIM SHARE change AS XY or change.x, change.y replaces variables called dx, dy.
' I decided to switch over to human control if AI fails to return a proper change.
' AI must leave change.x, change.y ready for human to take over control which means my changing
' the code for toggling the autopilot and adding change.x, change.y updates in my snakeBrain SUB.
' Rewrite SnakeBrain using only change.X and change.Y now. A BEEP will indicate an AI error and
' signal control returned to human. This noted in Key Help part of screen.
'2020-03-19 Snake AI-1_6 B+brain#2 begin a new snakeBrainBplus2 sub routine
' Add a driver report in title bar along with sLen.
' Oh hey what a fancy snake dance, not the least bit faster than snakeBrainBplus1.

' RE: snakeBrainBplus2
' Recode snakeBrainBplus2 to be self contained in one SUB, load data for the array it uses inside
' that SUB. It also has to check sqrsX, sqrsY to be sure they are correct, this is pure novelty
' SUB so will set sqrsX, sqrsY back to 20 each for standard game AI setting. OK good!
' RE: sqrsX, sqrsY
' sqrsX, sqrsY reset back to 20, 20 for standard setup for testing AI.
' RE: Ashish first "real AI" very excellent submission!
' Attempt to incorporate Ashish "real AI" as SUB snakeBrainAshish1
' Ashish is using $CONSOLE and DIM SHARED state$ but I don't see why so I made state$ STATIC in

Hi Bplus
I like very much your Snake AI demo!
Snake appears very smart in movement and catching food until its lenght stay under 30 blocks...
but I loose something, because some times it appears clearly a collision at the next step between head and body of snake, while in other situations it is very hard to see why does it return collision.

The reason for the crash is always in the title bar.
When the head tries to do an 180, go in reverse, you don't see much difference in position. Just notice the fruit is on the opposite side of the snakes body as the head.

Body/Self Awareness, if we coil the snake before it strikes out for food it won't go crashing into itself.

'2020-03-14 Snake AI-1 first post
'2020-03-16 Snake AI-1_1 there must be overlap of the snake somewhere! Aha!
'2020-03-17 Snake AI-1_2 fix the duplicate segment problem
' Now a new mystery, an ocassional flashing duplicate box
'2020-03-17 Install standard snake rules for testing brain evolving
' First setup XY type and rename and convert variables using XY type.
' 2nd Make snake brain and whole game only dependent sqrsX, sqrsY and sq for screen size
' Got it!!! the code ends with hangup head next to fruit with 99 (1 cell less that whole board)
' cells of snake length, no new place can be found for fruit, perfect finish and no duplicate
' cells! PLUS now can turn on a dime go up one colume and down the next in 2 key press.
' Now add autoPilot on -1 / off 0 toggle control, OK snake rules tested when human pilots snake.
' Help screen & independent speeds for human or AI.
'2020-03-18 "Snake AI-1_4 fix tester" The AI tester needs to save Head(x, y) in case the AI
' does not change the head(x, y) or tries to move it diagonally.
'2020-03-18 Snake AI-1_5 SHARE change AS XY
' DIM SHARE change AS XY or change.x, change.y replaces variables called dx, dy.
' I decided to switch over to human control if AI fails to return a proper change.
' AI must leave change.x, change.y ready for human to take over control which means my changing
' the code for toggling the autopilot and adding change.x, change.y updates in my snakeBrain SUB.
' Rewrite SnakeBrain using only change.X and change.Y now. A BEEP will indicate an AI error and
' signal control returned to human. This noted in Key Help part of screen.
'2020-03-19 Snake AI-1_6 B+brain#2 begin a new snakeBrainBplus2 sub routine
' Add a driver report in title bar along with sLen.
' Oh hey what a fancy snake dance, not the least bit faster than snakeBrainBplus1.
'2020-03-20 Snake AI-1_7 real AI
' RE: snakeBrainBplus2
' Recode snakeBrainBplus2 to be self contained in one SUB, load data for the array it uses inside
' that SUB. It also has to check sqrsX, sqrsY to be sure they are correct, this is pure novelty
' SUB so will set sqrsX, sqrsY back to 20 each for standard game AI setting. OK good!
' RE: sqrsX, sqrsY
' sqrsX, sqrsY reset back to 20, 20 for standard setup for testing AI.
' RE: Ashish first "real AI" very excellent submission!
' Attempt to incorporate Ashish "real AI" as SUB snakeBrainAshish1
' Ashish is using $CONSOLE and DIM SHARED state$ but I don't see why so I made state$ STATIC in
' his SUB and took console out, though I can see it might be needed later. Working here yeah!
' RE: SnakeBrainBplus3, bplus first "real AI" also working pretty well to a point.
' SnakeBrainBplus3 uses real AI and crashes when snake can't get to fruit due to it's length
' either by inaccessible fruit, snakes body blocks head or head buried in body and can't escape.
' Using lessons learned from Pathfinder work.
'2020-03-21 Snake AI-1_8 Trailblazer a Smarter Snake!
' As described at forum today, entice snake to safely coil itself before going after fruit at
' each increase of it's length. Does't look like this will work out.
' 3-22 try Trailblazer square attack pattern, looks simpler can we connect to safe coil map?
' No connection yet: crash, crash, crash.... my brain is broken!
' 3-23 New idea for connnecting square frame pattern for fruit catching to the safe coil map.
' Looking good! 2-320's 2-360s and 2-perfect 399! Generalize variables for any even field and
' try for perfect 399 everytime. Analyzed the few crashes and fixed bodyStack and yHeadLimit
' so even more perfect runs! The bigger sqrsX is the more slack needs to be built into
' bodyStack.
