Snake Game

This repository contains a simple Snake game implemented using the pygame library. The game features basic mechanics where the player controls a snake to eat food and grow, while avoiding collisions with the walls and itself.

Overview

The Snake Game provides a classic arcade experience where the player manoeuvres a snake around the screen, collects food, and avoids obstacles. The game is displayed using a graphical interface provided by pygame.

Features

• Classic Snake Gameplay: Control the snake to eat food and grow longer.
• Score Display: Shows the current score based on the length of the snake.
• Game Over Handling: The game displays a message and allows the player to restart or quit.
• Food Generation: Randomly places food on the screen.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• pygame (install via pip install -r requirements.txt)

Setup (Windows, PowerShell)

1. Clone this Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Myszanik/SnakeGame.git

2. Navigate to the Project Directory:

   cd SnakeGame

3. Create and activate a virtual environment (recommended):

   python -m venv .venv

   .\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

4. Install Dependencies:

   python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
