# Snake Game

A classic terminal-based Snake game written in C++17.

## Features

- Smooth snake movement using POSIX terminal I/O
- WASD or Arrow keys for movement
- Food spawning and snake growth
- Wall and self-collision detection
- Score tracking
- Pause functionality (P key)
- Clean terminal rendering

## Build

```bash
make
```

This compiles `snake.cpp` with optimization level O2 and C++17 standard.

## Run

```bash
./snake
```

## Controls

|-----|--------|
| W / ↑ | Move Up |
| S / ↓ | Move Down |
| A / ← | Move Left |

| P | Pause/Resume |
| Q | Quit |

## Game Rules

- Eat the `*` food to grow and score points (+10 per food)
- Avoid hitting the walls `#`
- Avoid colliding with your own body `o`
- The snake moves continuously

## Requirements

- GCC/G++ with C++17 support
- POSIX-compliant system (Linux, macOS)
- Terminal with ANSI escape support
