This is a simple implementation of the classic Snake game using the ncurses library in C. It allows the player to control a snake using the WASD keys, with the objective of eating food (+) and growing longer without hitting the walls or itself.
To compile and run this program, you need to have the ncurses library installed on your system. If you're using a Debian-based Linux distribution, you can install it by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
To compile the program, use the following command:
gcc main.c - main -lncurses
Run the compiled program using the following command:
./main [HEIGHT WIDTH]
By default, if no height and width arguments are provided, the game will be displayed in a 20x40 terminal window.
Use the following keys to control the snake:
- W: Move up
- S: Move down
- A: Move left
- D: Move right
- Q: Quit the game
- The snake is represented by the
@symbol, and it starts in the middle of the game board. - Move the snake around the board using the control keys.
- The snake will grow in length whenever it eats a piece of food (
+). - The game ends if the snake hits the walls or collides with itself.
- The length of the snake is displayed at the bottom of the game board.
This Snake game implementation is based on the ncurses library, which provides a convenient way to create terminal-based user interfaces in C.
