Snake 2D Game

CGame DevSystems Programming

A cross-platform terminal game implementation of classic Snake written in pure C.

Built as an exploration of low-level terminal manipulation, keyboard input polling, and game loop timing without external graphics frameworks or game engines.

Highlights

  • Non-Blocking Input Queue: Implemented a buffered input handling queue to eliminate dropped keystrokes during rapid direction changes.
  • Cross-Platform Terminal Control: Engineered console raw-mode handling compatible across both POSIX and Windows environments.
  • Dynamic Difficulty: Automated game-speed scaling based on score progression and board state complexity.
