how to move the Snake..

Marcus007 (11)
Hi guys. I'm currently having a problem on how to move the body of the snake by means of "bending" the body. I just finished making an infinite loop for the snake to make the snake move by itself. How can I control or change the directions of the snake? Need your help here guys. Here's my code btw. Thanks!

instead , you can use SDL to load and blit image . Each image can have a bend and non bend. another alternative situation is to write each loaded image as a function.
