Old School 2D Snake Game Clone written in React

Motivation

No tutorial was used in the game dev. The game was written from scratch entirely by me using React for entertainment and learning purposes.

I wanted to learn & manage how to develop & build:

game logic,
game loop binded to timer,
touch controler for touch screens.

As a side effect, I've refactored the code to adapt it for future use in case I want to build another game with game loop binded to timer, like... Tetris ;-)

Previously, I've built the game in JavaScript using p5.js library a year ago, but this time I wanted to do it in React without external libraries for animations.
