🐍 Console Based Snake Game in C++

⚡ A classic arcade Snake Game built in terminal using arrays, loops, collision detection, and real-time keyboard controls.

---

📖 About The Project

This project is a console-based implementation of the classic Snake Arcade Game developed in C++ using procedural programming fundamentals.

The game executes entirely inside the terminal and demonstrates:

• ⚡ Real-time keyboard event handling
• 🎮 Frame-based rendering loop
• 🐍 Snake body movement using arrays
• 🍎 Random food generation
• 💥 Collision detection (wall + self)
• 📊 Score tracking and HUD display
• 🔁 Restart and exit controls

No external libraries — pure system-level programming.

✨ Key Features

Feature	Description
🎯 Real-Time Input	Uses _kbhit() and _getch() for non-blocking keyboard capture
🐍 Dynamic Snake Growth	Snake length increases after consuming food
🍎 Random Food Logic	Food spawns randomly within board boundaries
💥 Collision Engine	Detects self-hit and wall-hit conditions
📊 HUD Display	Live score, length, controls, objective shown on top
🔁 Restart Option	Allows replay after Game Over
🎨 Console Styling	Colored borders and terminal UI enhancement

---

🧠 Core Concepts

Snake Representation

int snakeX[MAX_LENGTH], snakeY[MAX_LENGTH];

Game Loop

while (!gameOver)
{
    handleInput();
    update();
    draw();
    Sleep(SPEED_MS);
}

Collision Detection

• Boundary checks
• Self overlap detection
• Food consumption → growth
