I tried to improve my AI to take better decision by tracking the location of fruit and its body units but the result is worse. Only thing good is that It now never stuck in a loop but it do "body crash". I think I must not post the code. It has now become full of IF...THEN clause. And guess what, now I, myself not able to understand what I wrote (xD).

@Ashish

A note of encouragement, your approach is what I would call "real AI" responding to real time information. Mine I would call dumb AI, I just put the snake on a track that is guaranteed to cover the board in a circuit before starting the loop over again. Your "real AI" has to eventually do that too, my AI has to loosen up at the beginning to gather fruit quicker. But keep in mind "the track" or one generated by AI for particular board scenario is the only way to get the whole board covered. You might say we are approaching the problem from different ends of the solution.

A good way to learn chess is to practice end games, that is sort of what my approach here is.

In my experience it is the best way
after elementary final and theoretichal draw the chesser goes on with middle game ideas and schemes and going on to the first elementary opening study.

In the same manner how you can learn from the code of a masterpiece program if you have no idea of the elementary tecniques used to manage some issue...so you can see online a Fisher Spassky game and with all the comments it is very hard to understand their moves....in chess understand equals to can manage the situation and catch the advantage if the other side do a move that is not the best for him.

Chess is not difficult, it's consuming only time and coffee

Programming isn't difficult, only it's  consuming time and coffee

Hi Ashish,

I got some "real AI" working so I reran your AI to compare. Man! it seems 100% improved since last I ran it! I think I missed testing after your edit, I thought I did. Often at snake length 41 it gets stuck in square loop track, most curious because the fruit is still accessible and snake head isn't trapped inside it's own body with no exit. That is what is killing my snake, at present one of these conditions is hanging the program for me and I can't get the snake to die a proper death yet so the program can move on. As soon as I get that fixed I will post but in meantime for your AI, I see it snap out of what might be an infinite loop situation before length 41 looks like you use RND when you hit some condition that you need to use when hit edge (I am guessing) maybe when hit edge RND choose to go up or down or left or right depending on edge. That might snap snake out of infinite loop, ha it might go into another one somewhere else and then go back to first one so you have infinite figure 8 like your avatar!

Also for future, I have idea of fake fruit, goal setting for snake to accomplish some unwinding before going for next real fruit. It's like parents saying you can't have desert until you finish your veggies. You can't have snake going for real fruit until it has safely coiled itself a bit before heading out. It's like steering a horse by dangling a carrot in front of it's eyes so it's not distracted by the grass at the side of the road. It should employ some STATIC variables, I have not needed yet.

OK now we have 2 state of the art "real AI" Smart Snakes. I've incorporated Ashish SUB into b+ official version for Best Answer.

RE: snakeBrainAshish1
@Ashish I removed the $CONSOLE command and reassigned state$ as STATIC variable in your snakeBrain SUB, trying to keep these SUBs as self contained as possible so we can try to include everyone's submissions that add to evolution of Smart Snake. A couple of tiny edits but if you find anything really off let me know. Your supplemental FUNCTION comes right after your snakeBrain SUB because it is exclusive (at moment for your SUB). I have added 2 supplemental FUNCTIONs min and max but included under general program running code because these are so generic.

Re: snakeBrainBplus3
I started a heuristic approach a bit like Ashish yesterday when I realized, "Hey! I've worked on this problem before, this is Pathfinder work!" So all yesterday I modified a pathfinder app I used in maze running. Ran into really major walls. One was that maze runner allowed diagonal steps, not classic Snake Game and two it took me way, way too long to realized that INSTR("XYZ", var$ ( = "") ) was always going to always return True! For hours I am going nutz, "Why isn't this working?!?!?" and unraveling and jiggling this and that until I had hell of a mess. Simply Blunderful!
Anyway I finally realized the problem and then found some better methods to use with...

OH! a third big snag using Pathfinder method, you have to run through a complete map before changing anything on the map otherwise, again, things just won't work as "they should".

OK, anyway I got the thing working very well, it will hang up when it can no longer access the fruit. I have fixed most of the hanging with a programmed body crash (better than starving to death in hang and running CPU for nothing) but there is still an occasional hang that I've not tracked down, so don't leave this running unattended like a screen saver. Ashish code too will run infinite loops, so again not a screen saver, but we'll get there. :)

Oh to test the different snakeBrain codes just comment the one currently not commented and  remove quote to one you want to try, snakeBrainBplus2 needs special sqrsX and sqrsY for running a cool snake pattern on a track.

Update on fake fruit:

Well it sort of worked and mostly was disaster. Turns out you can't put fake fruit on top of snake, yeah now I see it! and it looks like I need a pattern of approaching the fruit so the snake is out of it's way when setting up to approach next fruit.

I may have to scrap Pathfinder and work on Trailblazer!

Impressive! I like it a lot! Your "real AI" is of course better than mine in performance. It scored 63 on my system. The highest which my AI scored is
49.

Hi everyone! I thought for creating another AI with totally different approach. This AI learn by its mistake(s)/experience(s). Somewhat
similar to one that are used in Deep Learning or Machine Learning models (as I imagine).
In the console window, it prints total experiences it had and the best performance (or score) done by it.
By total experiences, I mean for how many possible situation it had made its decision in its memory (snakeMemory array).
Theoritcaly, there can be maximum of 256 possible situation but in the program I get as high as 30-35.
and the best score which it made on my system so far is 13. It will get better as it get more experience.

Of course, my learning model is very badly made. A better learning model can be made.
@bplus, I modified your code a bit so that things can be done faster.
Here's the code -

Wouldn't the "perfect" snake be one which filled the whole screen, with the head and tail separated by a single space where the fruit would appear? 

If someone were to draw this image out on a sheet of paper, you'd then have a closed loop which all you'd have to do is follow the exact same path over and over around the screen, until the screen was perfectly filled.

For example, on a 4x4 screen, I have a snake 15 units long (0 to E):

0123
  A94
EB85
DC76

0 is the head of the snake, E is the tail of the snake, 0-E is the sequential segments of the snake.  Move the head (0) to the blank spot and let the snake follow as it's pulled naturally along.  The open space is now where the tail was (E) and the tail is now where (D) was. 

It's a closed circuit which travels every point of our screen, until it repeats itself.  As long as we repeat this pattern endlessly, we'll end up collecting fruits until our snake fills the whole screen.
 

Unless something is wrong with my logic -- which is always possible!

@SMcNeill Your approach is what @bplus did in his reply #4 and reply #14.
But you can clearly see it taking more moves. So, I just thought for reducing it by doing it more intelligently. (But my AI is not able to complete the task...)
See my reply #8.

@Ashish

Very ambitious trying deep learning but I don't know how you say there are only 512 patterns, more like number of stars or sand... 400 places of fruit minus where snake is times 400 places of snake head times all the places snake body can be around the head.... I watch yours run and I'd swear it seems to learn for a bit and get a little better and then cycle back to learning first lessons again. ie the straight line crash, to the jiggles, to a couple of snake squiggles and wraps and then back again to straight line crashes...

and to think when you get down to last step of perfect run, there is no place left.

@SMcNeill
As Ashish points out this thread started with an example of perfect run.

Put the snake on a circuit that covers the whole board and does not cross over itself then no matter where the fruit goes, the snake will get it and grow.

The trouble with that is the fruit is easy to get at the beginning and growing can be sped up until you reach a point where you need to safely coil the snake before going after the fruit.

Here is what I am working on at moment, you get a guaranteed 40 segments added and from then on it is pure luck how long the snake will last. Also included is commented out abandoned Fake Fruit idea, and commented out section that tries to transition from free fruit flight to safe coiling before going after fruit. I even have another track built in and if I switched to that from the start we'd have one perfectly fat snake but slow as dickens at start getting fruit. But so far switching from free fruit flight that looks very smart to dumb track running is causing crash after crash.

Congratulations @bplus ! :D
@Ashish
Very ambitious trying deep learning but I don't know how you say there are only 512 patterns...
By possible situation I meant how many condition can be made on line 279 of code in reply #23.
In the IF...THEN clause, there are 8 variables that are being used. Each variable can either be true or false.
So, the total number of possible condition is 2^8 or 256.

Oh! Did I write 512? Forgive me. ;)

Thanks Ashish, glad someone get's it!

For your 8 conditions and learning, can you summarize in English what you are attempting with code?

With only bits 0 or 1, I am not sure your snake can even learn the 4 boundaries. That might be an interesting experiment but would need to store learning between program executions so we don't have to start all over again each time run program.

forget about it @bplus
As I stated in my post, that is based on what I imagine the deep learning models would be like.
With only bits 0 and 1, I just give it a particular decision for a particular combination of 0 & 1. If it cause an AI error, then I change the decision.
If it doesn't cause any error, then things remain same.
Interestingly, it seems to learn for a moment and then it restart to learn the first lesson again. (LOL)
IDK what is happening behind, but I can say a GOOD AI programmer would develop very perfect model for your snake. :)

He did! ;) perfect given it's lines of code, resource usage and minimum amount of brains to understand.
