This paper deals with the properties of self-avoiding walks defined on the lattice with the 8-neighbourhood system. We compute the number of walks, bridges and mean-square displacement for N=1 through 13 (N is the number of steps of the self-avoiding walk). We also estimate the connective constant and critical exponents, and study finite memory and generating functions. We show applications of this kind of walk. In addition, we compute upper bounds for the number of walks and the connective constant.
