Welcome to Snake - your classic Snake game as a console app.

Written in .NET Core 3.1

Quick Start Guide

Valid keys are arrow keys ← ↑ → ↓ or WASD. The inputs are queued (you can delete queue by pressing 'C')
You win when the entire screen is filled with snake.
When game is over, you will see your snake's length.

You grow by eating apples, denoted as 'a'. You snake head will be marked with 'H' and the rest of the body will be marked as 'S'.
You snake will warp around the edges by default.

You may pass command line parameters / change source code config to control various configurations.
Use --help for more info.

The default game world size is current console size and will use max size if not supported. Full-screen may cause flickers.
Set verbose mode to get relevant information, after game is over.

Quick Project Explanation

Split into "Core" class library that has the world class.
And then the "Snake" console project, that deals with input + rendering + extra UI logic.

Both have configurable Options class. The rest you may read the code / ask me through issues.

Features

• Smooth inputs
  • Inputs are queued.
  • WASD and ArrowKey boths are supported
• Amazing configuration
  • (Almost)Every defaults are changable using command line options or source code, powered by CommandLineParser. If there is one you want to change, feel free to send a pull request. Examples are -
    • How many seconds should the game wait between each update / render
    • X and Y size of the world of the game
    • Apple's X and Y coordinate.
    • You can set a seed so that the randomness is reconstructable (assuming your snake is in the same position)
      • You know exactly where the apple will spawn
    • Verboseness so you know which random seed you played
  • Project is split into Core and UI part, meaning I could reuse the Core part in any project I want to port to In this case, I can reuse it to make a cross-platform game using monogame.
• Forgiving AI
  • Apple is much more likely to spawn around you.

TODO

• Add color
• Port to MonoGame
• Add more gameplay such as quick apple bonus.

Known Bugs (features?)

• Only starting snake location can't be controlled as of now using config

Thank you for trying this out.
