Classic Snake Game built with pygame library and collections.deque(Arrays are terrible for the memory). The snake can eat food, grow longer, and collide with itself. Who likes boundaries, so snake is free to go through one side of the screen and appear on opposite. Implements background sounds, eating sounds and game over sounds using pygame.mixer() with multiple channels. Also displays a score and a game over message.
Please use the #ESCAPE key to quit the game.
Also note that the backgound-sound.wav is not uploaded. I shall add a new background sound soon but in the meantime, please add a background-sound.wav file to the sounds folder to get the project up and running.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
You'll need to install python for running this game. I'm using python 3, you can find it at:
https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
You'll also need to install pygame. You can install pygame by checking out this link and following the steps:
https://www.pygame.org/wiki/GettingStarted
You'll also need a code editor to see how the code goes. Use whichever editor which has python support, I use Visual Studio Code on Windows 10.
A simple step to get the game running. Open the terminal to the folder containing snake.py and just type:
snake.py
If your python environment is set up, the game should appear on the screen.
Anybody with ideas to genuinely improve the project are welcome. We use git flow, so just pull the repo, cut a branch on develop and put a pull request back to us. We will look through the PR as soon as possible.
