Building a Classic Snake Game
Handling Collisions
Calling game over
We did all the hard work before when created is_body_collision() method, so now we just have to use it. First of all let's ensure that there is a game_over() when the snake head collides with its body.
Collision with fruit
Let's consider what should occur when the snake's head collides with a fruit. Naturally, when this happens, the fruit needs to appear in a different location, and the snake's length should increase. This concept is straightforward to understand and also implement:
The code snippet above detects if the snake collides with a fruit. Upon collision, the fruit moves to a new position, the snake grows longer.

- Add and implement handle_collision method.
- Add collision detection for Game Over.
- Add collision detection with Fruit.
