vertical movement is a little faster than horizontal movement

[lynus]

and I think speedup feature is needed.

Vertical movement is indeed a little faster than horizontal movement, but that's inherent to terminal-based applications.

You see, the characters are taller than wider, in an approximate proportion of 2:1.

To make the square-ish effect of nFlood (screenshot below) I actually printed two characters on the screen instead of one.

I could make that on nSnake, but it would reduce significantly the screen size. It would also require changing a good part of the interface code.

Maybe if more people requested it I could make a test.

And about the speed-up effect, you're right!
I added a new issue #11 with your suggestion.

+1 For the speed being equalised.

i upvote this feature too, perhaps instead of using two characters per tile, it may also work to reduce speed to half moving vertically, and having the usual speed when moving horizontally
