The Snake Game

The notorious Snake Game. Celebrating the "relaunch" of Nokia 3310!

How to play?

Clone the game first:

git clone https://github.com/pranavgokhale95/Snake_Game.git

Run the game as below:

cd Snake_Game
g++ -o snake snake_linux.cpp
./snake

Use the following keys:
w -- for going up
s -- for going down
a -- for going left
d -- for going right
and eat the food represented by "$" to increase your score ie. the length of the snake.

PS: Press the key and wait for a second.

The game is over when: The head of the snake hits any part of the snake.

Want to stop the game in between? Use Ctrl+z just in case.

Known Issues?

• Render food everytime. Disappears when food appears on snake
• Solve the length=2 snake length problem (Turns back on its head, then the game isn't over!. Logical problem)

Apart from these issues please report any other issues in the issue section. Thanks!

Possible Improvements or Addition of Features

• Possible optimization in code.
• Make the game fast (The sleep is annoying but helpful for debugging. Reduce it if you want)
• Add a more random rand() function. The seed can specified and srand can be used.
• Add obstacles ie. add different game modes.
• The simple do-while for play again :P
• Add a section for high scores and corresponding names.

Open for suggestions!

Enjoy 😎
