🐍 Snake Game on FPGA — Pixel-Python

A hardware-level implementation of the classic Snake Game, designed and developed on FPGA using C and VGA output.
This project demonstrates digital game design principles combined with embedded programming for real-time hardware rendering.

⚡ Project Overview

This Snake Game is built for FPGA boards and displayed on a VGA-compatible monitor.
It uses a combination of:

• C language logic for game mechanics.
• FPGA hardware for execution and display.
• VGA signaling to render the game visuals.

---

🎮 Features

• Snake can move left-right or up-down and have to get food within certain number of moves.
• Score tracking via simple counters.
• Smooth real-time rendering on VGA display.
• Minimal hardware resource utilization.

🚀 How to Run

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/IIUday/Pixel-Python.git
   

2. Open the project in your preferred FPGA development suite (Vivado, Quartus, etc.).

3. Synthesize the hardware design.

4. Program the FPGA board using the generated bitstream.

5. Connect a VGA monitor to the FPGA board.

6. Power on the setup and start playing using:

   • Push-buttons / switches on the FPGA for direction control.
   • Snake will be displayed in real-time on the VGA monitor.
