The Snake Game

The Snake Game is a classic arcade game where the player controls a snake, guiding it to eat food and grow longer. The objective is to achieve the highest score possible without colliding with the snake's own body or the boundaries of the game.

Game Description

In this version of the Snake Game, you control the snake using the arrow keys on your keyboard. The snake moves in four directions: up, down, left, and right. The snake's body consists of green squares, and the food is represented by a red oval. Each time the snake eats the food, it grows longer, and your score increases.
