Building a Classic Snake Game

Introduction

Prerequisites

The Snake Game is a classic arcade-style game that has captivated players for decades with its simple yet addictive gameplay. In this timeless game, players control a snake that grows in length as it consumes food items scattered throughout the game area.

Hey there! Welcome to our project! We're working on this cool AI that controls a snake in a game. The only hitch is, we haven't quite figured out how to create a snake yet. That's where you come in! We need your help to make the snake smart and slithery. Let's dive in and tackle this part together! Here is the list of what we have to implement:

Feature	Description
Food Items	Food items appear randomly on the screen. When the snake consumes a food item, it grows longer, increasing the challenge.
Snake Movement	The snake moves continuously in the game area. Players control its direction using arrow keys or designated controls. The snake cannot stop or reverse its direction.
Growing Length	As the snake consumes food, its length increases, making navigation more difficult. The game typically speeds up as the snake grows longer, intensifying the challenge for players.
Collision Detection	The game ends if the snake collides with itself or the boundaries of the game area.

Task

Let's start by importing necessary modules we will use for our snake game.
