This is an old high-school project of mine & the first time I programmed a 2D game.
To run the game, use the snake.exe application in snake_cpp\Release. The game should start with a welcome screen, to start playing press the 'enter' key.
You can change the direction of the snake by pressing the WASD keys. Once started, it moves at a constant pace, which is easy to manage in the begining, but the difficulty rises when the tail gets very long. When the snake is heading to a window's edge, it will emerge form the opposite side of the screen.
Food will spawn in random locations. A collision between the snake and the food will grow the snake, increase your score and respawn the food in a new location.
When the head of the snake hits an element of the tail, you lose and the Game Over screen is triggered.
The objective is simple: get the highest score possible
