Game Overview
The snake game involves controlling the snake using arrow keys. The objective is to eat red apples to grow larger while avoiding collisions with the snake’s own tail or crossing the window borders. Each apple eaten increases the score. The game ends when the snake crosses the edge of the screen or accidentally touches itself.
Background Animation and Framerate Optimization
I coded the background with a diamond pattern and implemented a color-changing gradient animation. My goal was to create an engaging visual experience for players.
Challenges: Initially, I attempted to animate a light passing through the background, but it proved difficult. Instead, I settled on a color gradient that changes subtly while the game runs.
Achievement: Successfully optimizing the framerate to ensure smooth gameplay despite the animation.
Music and Sound Effects
I searched for free-to-use music and sound effects to enhance the player experience. These audio elements contribute to the game’s ambiance and overall quality. I included licenses for the music and sound effects in the game’s readme file.
Restart/Quit Screen
I set up a screen and commands for players to respawn, restart the game, or quit using the ‘x’ key. This feature enhances usability and allows players to quickly restart or exit the game.
