Classic Snake

Grid-based snake game, which was created during a small Saturday (March 2, 2025) game development challenge within several hours. I used MinGW to compile this for Windows, but it should require minimal effort to port this to other compilers, such as MSVC.

This is also possible thanks to a wonderful lecture that is available on the internet, which explains the details of the grid-based snake game amazingly.

There are still QoL improvements that I need to ship, such as a better random number generator and several other minor gameplay bugs.

Configuring gameplay

If you wish to play around with several crucial aspects;

1. You can update the simulation speed however you want; visit game.c and play around with simulationRate
2. Current keybindings are W, A, S, and D, but you can modify it however you like. Refer to the game.c
3. You can also experiment with different grid sizes by visiting grid.h
