itself.

Controls
Navigate using arrow keys. Press any key to restart after
game over.
Technical Implementation
System Architecture Key Components

Built using Java Swing framework with JFrame and • Timer for game loop (200ms)
JPanel components. • KeyListener for controls

Game logic encapsulated in SnakeGame.java with • ActionListener for updates


App.java as entry point. • Tile class for positioning
Game Mechanics
Movement
Snake moves continuously in current direction until
changed by player.

Food Consumption
Snake grows longer when it consumes randomly
placed food.

Collision Detection
Game ends if snake hits walls or itself.

Restart
Press any key after game over to start a new game.
