Snake game
This is a Python implementation of the classic game “Snake”, with a menu system that lets you configure the game tweaking different settings.
How to play
- Use the arrow keys to move the snake up, down, left and right.
- Feed the snake with apples but avoid making it crash into its body.
- If the snake leaves the screen, it will appear at the opposite edge.
- Press ‘P’ to pause the game. Press ‘P’ again to unpause it.
- Press ‘G’ to show a grid over the game screen.
- Press ‘Escape’ to exit the game at any moment.
Features
- Infinite screen, it makes the game more dynamic and confusing.
- Pause, so you can get some apples from the kitchen.
- Modern and classic look, in case you are a nostalgic.
- Change key bindings, you don’t have to use the arrow keys if you don’t want to (or don’t have them).
- Set volume of music and sound effects separately.
- TOP5 highscores, show your friends how skilled you are!
