Snake - MatrixProject

Backstory

Snake is a very simple game, but it's also very popular. I used to play it on the Nokia 3310 when I was a kid, so I chose to make this game.

Game Description

I suppose everyone knows how the Snake game Works. But if you don't, here's all you need to know to play it:

You are a Snake who is HUNGRY, and you need to Eat so you will not die.

The food will blink on the matrix, so it will be easy to see.

After you Eat the food, the snake lenght and the score will increase

Bugs

Small lag when increasing the snake's length. It won't increase immediately. I see it as an Easter Egg, because you don't grow immediately after you eat, you always need to wait😜

Sometimes the food changes is position when started the game.

Sometimes a segment of the snake is now drawn.
