How to create a snake game in c programming
Mini Project:
This Mini Project in C Snake Game is a simple console application without graphics. In this project, you can play the popular “Snake Game” just as you did elsewhere. You must use the up, down, right, or left arrows to move the snake.
Food is provided on several screen links for the snake to eat. Each time the snake eats food, its length will be increased by one thing and the school.
Activities used in the Snake Game Project in C
Many activities have been used in this Snake mini-project. Here, I will simply write below and describe the functions "gotoxy", "GotoXY", and "delays" as they are some of the most important functions used in this program and in many smaller functions in C.
blank record ()
empty load ()
Empty delay (double long)
Void Move ()
Empty food ()
Empty print ()
Empty Bend ()
Points ()
Empty boarder ()
Down ()
Void Left ()
Up ()
Void Right ()
Empty ExitGame ()
