Body
I'm working on a snake game (Nibbles in Linux) that is played on a 60*60 field, with four snakes competing for an apple which is randomly placed. I've implemented the movement of my snake with the A* (A star) Algorithm. My problem is this: When I'm not the nearest snake to the apple, I don't want to go to get the apple, because my chance to get it is lower than at least one snake, so I want to look for a place that I hope at the next place that an apple is generated , Then I'll be the nearest snake to that apple. I mean that I'm looking for a place which is nearest to the maximum number of potential locations. Please suggest any good way or any algorithm that can help me to find this place. Here is an image of the game. The red points are the snakes' heads. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/36qnw.jpg" alt="a snapshot of SnakeGame">
