Snake Game for Terminal 🐍

A simple, classic Snake game that you can play directly in your Mac Terminal! This project was developed to practice Python and bring the classic Snake game to life in a text-based format.

About the Game

In this version of Snake, you control a snake to eat as much food as possible and grow longer. Avoid hitting the walls or the snake’s own tail, or the game will end.

Controls

• Use the arrow keys to control the snake's direction.
• Your goal is to "eat" the food items that appear randomly on the screen to make the snake grow longer.
• Be careful not to collide with the walls or the snake's own body, or it's game over!

Most Macs come with Python pre-installed. To check if Python is installed:

1. Open the Terminal app (you can find it in Applications > Utilities).

2. Type the following command and press Enter:

   python3 --version

Step 2: Download the Snake Game Code

1.	Go to this GitHub repository and download the game files:
•	Click the green Code button at the top of this page.
•	Select Download ZIP.
2.	Unzip the downloaded file. You should see a folder named something like snake-game-terminal-main.

Step 3: Run the Game

1.	Open the Terminal app again.
2.	In the Terminal, type cd  (with a space after cd).
3.	Drag the unzipped folder (e.g., snake-game-terminal-main) from Finder into the Terminal window to automatically insert the path.
4.	Press Enter to navigate to the game folder.
5.	Run the following command to start the game:python3 snake.py                                   
6.	Use the arrow keys to play. Try to eat the food and avoid crashing into the walls or yourself!
