I've marked my changes with "Marcus"

This solution is probably not very good. The head's position is always recorded into a list, player.positions. Currently I store a maximum of 5000 positions, which covers a snake length of 10,000 pixels (because the speed of the snake is 2). Then I "simply" position the body parts, using the list of recorded positions, in player.UpdateBody.

Press space bar to add body parts.

Edit  But as with the other snake code I posted, this is NOT a very smart solution. It should be enough to store the positions where the player turns, and then use the distance between the head and these points to calculate the positions of the body parts.

Thanks Marcus, I'll see if I understand this better.

Although I don't really want to program the snake game, what I wanted to do is have some planes follow another one. It's in those airplane games where there is a group of planes that move in circles and they all do it together.
