Introduction

Snake Game is a recreation of the classic Snake game where players control a snake that moves around the screen, eating apples to grow longer while avoiding collisions with the walls or its own tail. The game becomes progressively more challenging as the snake grows in length.

Features

• Real-time snake movement and control
• Random generation of apples for the snake to eat
• Wall boundaries to contain the snake within the game area
• Score tracking to keep track of the player's progress
• Background music to enhance the gaming experience

How to Play
