🐍 Snake Game — Python Turtle Graphics

A classic Snake game built using Python’s built-in turtle graphics module.
The game features dynamic snake growth, collision detection, food spawning, and live score tracking.

📌 Overview

This project recreates the classic Snake arcade game using object-oriented Python.
The program is structured into multiple modules for clean separation of logic:

• Snake movement and growth
• Random food spawning
• Score tracking
• Collision detection (wall + self)

---

⚙️ Features

• Real-time keyboard controls
• Snake grows when food is eaten
• Random food placement
• Scoreboard display
• Wall collision detection
• Self-collision detection
• Game over screen
• Modular OOP design

🧩 How It Works

Snake (snake.py)

• Creates starting body segments
• Moves by shifting segment positions
• Prevents reverse direction
• Extends body when food is eaten

Food (food.py)

• Generates food at random coordinates
• Refreshes location after each collision

Scoreboard (scoreboard.py)

• Displays current score
• Updates score on food collision
• Shows game over message

Main Loop (main.py)

• Handles screen updates
• Detects collisions
• Controls game state
