A classic retro Snake game with a unique twist! Instead of simply eating apples, every apple you eat becomes a permanent obstacle, making the map progressively more challenging. As your snake grows, so does the difficulty.
To make things even more interesting, some apples are poisonous, causing you to lose both size and score.

This project was inspired by a bug I noticed in a video where apples remained on the map after being eaten.
Instead of fixing the bug, I thought:
"What if that was actually the game mechanic?"
That idea became the core of the game. Every apple turns into a permanent obstacle, forcing the player to constantly adapt as the available space shrinks.
Building this project helped me learn more about:
- Arrays
Vector2logic- Collision detection
- Game state management with Pygame
I plan to continue expanding the game with new mechanics and features.
- Python
- Pygame
