Chapter 4. The Configuration Dialog

Selecting the Configure KTron... option in the Settings menu will open a further dialog which lets you tweak KTron's behavior.

This dialog is divided into three pages.

General Configuration

Show winner by changing color

Enable this box to improve visualizing that the game is over by making KTron change the color of the loser's trail to the color of the winner.

Disable acceleration

Checking this box will disable the acceleration feature - pressing the acceleration key will have no effect, both snakes will always travel with constant velocity.

Crash when moving in the opposite direction

Enable this to make a snake crash into itself as soon as a player attempts to move into the opposite direction (i.e. a snake moves left, and the player tries to move to the right in one step). If this box is not checked, nothing happens when a player attempts to move into the opposite direction.

Speed

Use this slider to define how fast the snakes move; moving the slider to the left will make the snakes move slower, moving it to the right will make them move faster.
