natepup21 (4)
I would like for the snake to move in the direction that it was clicked until different up,down,left , right key is push instead of it only going when the key is pressed also how would i make another character or its tail to move behind the snakes head ?

ugh...I wouldn't suggest console games like this. Though if you really want to you will have to keep track of the snack parts and their locations then you simply will move them in the direction you are moving constantly (probably once a second). I would suggest you create snake with SFML or SDL or even an engine such as unity(though you wouldn't use c++ there).
