This is a classic Snake game implemented in Java using Swing for the graphical interface.

Game Overview

  • Objective: Control the snake to eat food and grow in length while avoiding collisions with itself and the game boundaries.
  • Controls: Use the arrow keys to direct the snake’s movement. The snake moves continuously in the direction you choose until you change direction.

Key Components:

Game Board:

  • The game board is a grid of tiles, each 25x25 pixels.
  • The board size is adjustable; in this implementation, it’s 600x600 pixels.

Snake:

  • The snake is represented by a series of Tile objects.
  • The snake’s head is the first tile, and the rest are body segments.
  • As the snake moves, each body segment follows the previous one, creating the appearance of a moving snake.

Food:

  • Food is randomly placed on the grid.
  • When the snake’s head collides with the food, the snake grows by adding a new segment at the end of its body, and a new food tile is generated.

Movement:

  • The snake moves continuously in the current direction set by the arrow keys.
  • The movement is handled by updating the position of the snake’s head and shifting the body segments.

Collision Detection:

  • If the snake’s head collides with any of its body segments, the game ends.
  • The game also ends if the snake moves outside the board boundaries.

Game Loop:

  • The game uses a Timer to create a loop that updates the game state and repaints the screen every 100 milliseconds.

Graphics:

  • The snake, food, and grid are drawn using simple geometric shapes.
  • The snake is drawn using 3D rectangles, and the food is represented similarly.

Game Over:

  • When the game ends, a “Game Over” message is displayed along with the score (the length of the snake).

How It Works

  • The Game class manages the game state, including the snake’s position, food, and collision detection.
  • The InputManagement class handles user input, changing the snake’s direction based on arrow key presses.
  • The Main class initializes and displays the game window.

This simple implementation captures the essence of the classic Snake game, focusing on core gameplay mechanics and providing a fun, interactive experience.
