Python Snake Game

A classic implementation of the Snake game built using Python's built-in Turtle module.

This project is a clean, object-oriented take on the retro arcade game. The goal is to eat the blue food, which makes the snake grow longer. Don't run into the walls or your own tail!

Features

• Classic Gameplay: Control the snake with the arrow keys.

• Score Tracking: Your current score is displayed at the top.

• Persistent High Score: The game saves your highest score to data.txt, so you can compete against yourself across multiple game sessions.

• Instant Reset: When you lose, the game instantly resets, allowing for quick, "one-more-try" replayability.

• Clean, OOP Code: The game is broken into logical classes (Snake, Food, Scoreboard) making it easy to read and maintain.
