Redstone [1.16.1] Minecraft Snake

[Egg🥚]

Hi,
I didn't have inspiration for a commandblock creation so I remade the game Snake (from 1998) in Minecraft!
It works perfectly and I am addicted to it already. :/

Hope you like it!

How specifically? I can't think of a way really to make each block trail behind it, and to detect where the end of the tail is to attach another block to it

There is a entity called "area_effect_cloud" (AEC) which is used for splash potions. It is very handy for this kinda stuff since it has an "Age" tag. It despawns when it is 1 tick old (a 20th of a second). So you can easily control the life duration. If you summon that entity with an age of for example -20, it lives 21 ticks (or 1.05) seconds before it despawns.
So if you summon an AEC with a certain age on a block, and let all the AEC aged 0 remove their blocks, you can make a trail.
It is a bit more complex than that, since you also have to think of making the trail bigger when it eats an apple, but I think that's the best way to explain :).

Ahhh that's smart! I wouldn't have thought of it myself, I don't even think I'm as advanced as that with command blocks. Thanks for the insight!
