MMF2 project Centipede

Centipede is a vertically-oriented shoot 'em up arcade game produced by Atari, Inc. in 1981

This game was programmed by George Edward Logg, Dave Theurer, Edward Rotberg and Dona Bailey (the first woman video games programmer in history, perhaps she should be the only one, knowing that they are considered "game designers" today).
Although structure of the game may seem simple, due to the lack of content, behind that nice worm is hiding a code laborious and complex.
We know that is impossible to clone arcade games reprogramming the code, except when emulation.
We only can make a decent conversion.
With the latest software, we can satisfy the whim of recreate a game of this kind without complex languages knowledge (assembler, C+, basic etc.).
But engaging in similar attempt, always there are difficulties which block the construction of the game conversion.
I tried to program all general events as the original.
But I'm stuck because I cannot create this event:

The movement of the worm with its segments which follow the head, is made via an array object that writes the movement of the head and the size of the worm.

This is my project shared with centipede movement example:

No one can help me to complete this project? (thinking about it, arcade games are popular culture. Would not be nice to collect more tutorials with the secrets to convert them easily?)

-Nivram: How are you?
-ChrisBurrows: Are you still attending this community?
-Jeff: If someone uses my shared project to make games for adults replacing small sprites with inappropriate, I say in advance I am not guilty! (be my protector!!!black-fbi-dude-md.gif) to be clear, take this as an example!

A year ago or so, I asked for help to create a conversion of centipede (simple game, but one of the toughest to be programmed for the code that is behind the worm). For some time I have resumed again, but this is the most I've been able to accomplish:

In the file zip there is also a worm movement example and images of sprites ready to be edited.
