Features

• Smooth Console Rendering: Avoids screen flickering by updating the console position.
• Snake Movement and Growth: Controls to move the snake in four directions, and grow when it eats fruit.
• Randomized Fruit Positioning: Fruit appears at random locations on the grid.
• Score Tracking: Real-time score updates as you play.
• Screen Wrapping: Snake appears on the opposite side if it moves off the edge.

Game Controls

• W - Move Up
• A - Move Left
• S - Move Down
• D - Move Right
• X - Exit the Game

Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/snake-game-cpp.git
   cd snake-game-cpp
   

2. Compile and Run:

   g++ ConsoleApplication1.cpp -o SnakeGame
   ./SnakeGame
   

How to Play

• Start the game and control the snake to eat the fruit (F) that appears at random positions on the map.
• Each fruit you eat will increase your score by 10 points and grow the snake's tail.
• If you run into your own tail, the game is over.

Project Structure

• Setup(): Initializes game variables, randomizes the initial fruit position, and sets starting values.
• Draw(): Renders the game’s visuals in the console, including the snake, fruit, and boundaries.
• Input(): Captures and processes user input for movement.
• Logic(): Handles the movement, collision, and scoring mechanics.

Future Improvements

• Boundary Collision Options: Add an option to toggle screen wrapping.
• Difficulty Levels: Implement game speeds for easy, medium, and hard modes.
• Self-Collision Detection: Improve collision detection for more advanced gameplay.
• Modularization: Refactor code into separate classes or modules.
