Snake Client Project

The Snake game is an immensely popular video game that revolves around a simple concept. Players control a dot-like creature and navigate it across the screen, consuming food pieces to increase in size. However, as the creature grows longer, it becomes increasingly challenging to maneuver without colliding with the walls or its own body. The objective is to skillfully guide the creature to reach its maximum size without encountering any obstacles, as any collision results in its demise.

This is simply a multiplayer take on the genre.

Before you can run this client, you will need to be running the server side which you can download and install from here.
