🐍 Snake Game — Python Pygame Edition

A modern arcade-style Snake Game built using Python and Pygame with smooth controls, real-time collision detection, scoring system, and dynamic gameplay.

🎮 Overview

The Snake Game is a desktop-based arcade application where the player controls a snake that grows by eating food while avoiding collisions with walls and itself. It demonstrates core concepts of game development, event-driven programming, real-time input handling, collision detection, and grid-based movement logic.
