Snake Game

using C++ console output.

Header Files

• #include <iostream>: Standard input-output stream.
• #include <conio.h>: Provides console input/output functions.
• #include <windows.h>: Includes functions for console manipulation and sleeping.

Global Variables

• gameOver: Flag to control the game loop.
• width and height: Dimensions of the game board.
• x and y: Snake's current position.
• fruitX and fruitY: Position of the fruit for the snake to eat.
• score: Player's score.
• tailX and tailY: Arrays to store the tail positions of the snake.
• nTail: Length of the snake's tail.
• enum eDirecton: Enumerated type for defining directions.

Functions

• Setup(): Initializes game variables, positions, and randomizes the fruit's position.
• Draw(): Draws the game board, snake, fruit, and displays score.
• Input(): Handles user input to change the snake's direction.
• Logic(): Manages the game logic including snake movement, collision detection, and fruit eating.

Main Function

• main(): Sets up the game, runs the game loop, and controls the game's flow.

Game Logic

• The snake moves through user input ('a', 'd', 'w', 's') and cannot move backward.
• The snake grows in length when it eats the fruit, increasing the score.
• The game ends if the snake collides with the boundary or itself (gameOver is set to true).

Remarks

• The game loop continuously updates the screen, takes input, and processes the logic.
• The snake's position, tail, and fruit position determine the game's state and progression.

Potential Enhancements

• Implementing levels or increasing difficulty over time.
• Adding sound effects or graphical improvements.
• Enhancing collision detection or adding power-ups.

This game is a basic rendition of Snake, illustrating fundamental concepts of game development in C++. Feel free to modify and expand upon it for further learning or entertainment purposes!
