Snake Game

A simple Snake Game built using C++ and SFML.

Requirements

• CMake (version 3.10 or higher)
• Git
• A C++ Compiler (MSVC, GCC, or Clang)

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/CodeWithDevesh/snake-game.git
cd snake-game

2. Build the Project

Be patient as this step downloads the required libraries too

Windows

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release

Linux/macOS (GCC/Clang + Make)

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)

3. Run the Game

After building, the executable will be inside Release or Debug folder in build.

Windows

cd Release
snake-game.exe

Linux

./snake-game

4. Ensure SFML DLLs are Present (Windows Only)

If the game does not run due to missing DLLs, manually copy the required SFML DLLs from the build/_deps/sfml-build/lib folder to the executable directory.

5. Notes

• SFML is automatically fetched via CMake's FetchContent.
• If using a different compiler, adjust the cmake command accordingly.
