Usage
Run the game via the provided
main.py script. You can customize the window size and movement speed:--width : Window width in pixels (default 600)--height: Window height in pixels (default 600)--speed : Movement delay in milliseconds (default 16 for ~60 FPS)Example, to run at 800×800 pixels and a bit slower (~30 FPS):
Game Controls
Arrow keys: Change snake direction (
Up, Down, Left, Right)Close window: Ends game immediately (also triggers Game Over on collision)
Configuration
All game constants live in
config.py:Feel free to tweak these to change look & feel.
