Is there any way to wiggle the snake while going to the food(the white dot)? Here is my code as well. Please help me out.

Thank you :smiley:

Lol. Hahaha… My codes are actually long. Im just asking the algorithn or a logic on this scenario.

function Worm() {
this.acceleration = createVector(0, 0);
this.velocity = createVector();
this.x = random(width);
this.y = random(height)
this.pos = createVector(this.x, this.y);
this.r = 10;
this.maxspeed = 5;
this.maxforce = 0.1;
this.angle = atan2(this.pos.x, this.pos.y);
this.life = random(100);

this.update = function() {
this.velocity.add(this.acceleration);
this.velocity.limit(this.maxspeed);
this.pos.add(this.velocity);
//this.acceleration.mult(0);
}

this.applyForce = function(force) { this.acceleration.add(force); }

this.seek = function(target) {
var desired = p5.Vector.sub(target, this.pos);
var d = desired.mag();
var speed = this.maxspeed;
desired.setMag(speed);
var steer = p5.Vector.sub(desired, this.velocity);
steer.limit(this.maxforce);
this.applyForce(steer);

}

}

Here is my complete code for the Worm. :smiley:
the target serves as the position of the Food.

Wiggle like this? https://processing.org/examples/sinewave.html

If you apply this to your line, then you can reposition your actual snake using transformation operations: translation, rotation.
