 If you are going to attempt to finish the game off by yourself at the end of T14a (good on you mate), there is something you should be aware of. The function <code>Snake::Grow()</code> does not set the position of the "new" segment when it grows the snake. So you '''absolutely must''' call <code>Snake::MoveBy(...)</code> '''''before''''' you draw the snake. If you attempt to draw the snake after growing, but without moving first, the last segment will have an invalid <code>loc</code>, and trying to draw it in that state will most likely crash the program.

-Also, there is a bug in the <code>Snake::Grow()</code> function at the end of 14a. See if you can figure out what it is, and how to fix it... :) (Or ask on the Forum/Discord).
