Features

1. Home Menu: Upon launching the game, players are greeted with a home menu featuring buttons for Play, Shop, Settings, and Credits.

2. Offline and Online Modes: Players can choose between offline mode for solo play or online mode for multiplayer action. In online mode, players can compete with others and view the top-ranked players via a leaderboard.

3. Customization: Sneck Safari offers customization options in the shop where players can purchase different snake colors, skins, and background colors to personalize their gaming experience.

4. Settings: The settings menu allows players to adjust various game settings such as sound, controls, and display preferences to suit their preferences.

5. Multiplayer: In online mode, players can create IDs and play against other players in real-time multiplayer matches, adding a competitive edge to the gameplay.

Future Development

1. Enhanced Ranking System: Implementing a more robust ranking system with detailed player statistics and rewards for top players.

2. Expanded Shop: Adding more items for purchase in the shop, such as power-ups, additional snake skins, and background themes.

3. Improved UI/UX: Continuously refining the user interface and user experience to make the game more visually appealing and intuitive to navigate.

1. You encountered an issue with a previous implementation for generating new coordinates within a grid. The problem arose when attempting to ensure that the new coordinates did not overlap with existing coordinates. The initial approach unintentionally formed squares in the grid due to incorrect handling of occupied coordinates.

   Solution Approach:
   To address this problem, you implemented a new function named get_new_cords with the goal of generating coordinates that avoided overlap with existing ones, thus preventing the formation of unintended squares.

   Implementation Details:

   • The get_new_cords function takes as input a dictionary dict1 representing occupied coordinates, along with the dimensions of the grid (width_box, height_box), and the size of each box (box_size).
   • In the function, you randomly generate x and y coordinates within the grid.
   • You then iterate through the occupied x coordinates to ensure that the new x coordinate does not result in a full column. If it does, you adjust the x coordinate accordingly.
   • Similarly, you iterate through the occupied y coordinates to ensure that the new y coordinate does not result in a full row. If it does, you adjust the y coordinate accordingly.
   • After ensuring that the new coordinates do not overlap with existing ones, you return the newly generated x and y coordinates.

2. You encountered an issue where you needed to update the coordinates of a snake's segments to fit within a new box size in a grid-based game. The challenge was to adjust the positions of the snake's segments to align properly with the new box size while maintaining their relative positions and movement direction, and avoiding any overlap.

   Solution Approach:
   To address this problem, you implemented a function named update_cords that recalculates the coordinates of the snake's segments based on the new box size. The function ensures that the snake's segments adjust their positions correctly and continue to move in the same direction without overlapping.

   Implementation Details:

   • The update_cords function takes the new box size as an argument and calculates the increment based on the difference between the new and old box sizes.
   • The function iterates through each segment of the snake, starting from the head.
   • For each segment, it adjusts the x and y coordinates based on the calculated increment, ensuring that - the relative position of each segment remains consistent. The adjustments are made in such a way that the direction of the snake's movement is preserved.
   • After updating the coordinates, the function validates the new coordinates to ensure they fit within the grid's boundaries.
