This is a classic Snake game built using Java and Swing. The game features smooth movement, food collection, and a score system. The goal is to eat food to grow while avoiding collisions with the snake’s own body. If you crash into yourself, it's Game Over!
✅ Smooth and responsive movement ✅ Collision detection with food and snake’s body ✅ Wrap-around mechanics for seamless movement across boundaries ✅ Score tracking ✅ Game restart functionality ✅ Simple and fun gameplay

The game is developed using Java Swing and relies on KeyListeners for movement. The core logic includes:
- Snake movement with queued inputs for smooth direction changes
- Food placement at random locations
- Collision detection with walls and itself
- Score increment when eating food
- Game-over condition when colliding with itself
- Game restart when a key is pressed after losing
