Learn How to Program a Classic Snake Arcade Game (Part 3 of 4)
Hey this Greg and welcome back to this 4 part programming series on how to code a class snake game. In the first 2 parts of this series which I'll link above and down in the comments, we created our gameboard grid system, we added our snake head, built out a movement system, came up with a way to randomly add food to our stage, and then came up with a way to add body segments to the snake anytime they eat the food and those body segments will follow our snake head around the board. Now in this part 3 we will move on to things like game levels, snake speed, growth rate, scoring bonuses, game testing and more.
