1. Classic Snake Game A classic with a twist!

2. Introduction Presenter: Salma Mahmoud Sami Role: Sole Developer, Designer, and Tester

3. Inspiration My fascination with the snake game began in childhood, spending countless hours playing and strategizing to get the highest score. I wanted to recreate this classic experience for a wider audience. To add a unique twist, I introduced special power-ups and obstacles, making the game more challenging and engaging.

4. Technology & Architecture Frontend: Pygame for game development Backend: JSON for storing high scores Sound: Pygame mixer for sound effects

5. Process, Collaboration & Timeline Collision Detection: Checks for interactions between the snake, walls, apples, and bombs. Snake Movement Logic: Updates the snake's position based on user input and prevents it from going through itself. Game Loop: Continuously updates the game state (snake position, apples, bombs) and redraws the screen.

6. Development Process Solo Development: I tackled this project entirely on my own. Steps: Planning the game mechanics and features Coding the core functionalities Testing and debugging the game Adding sound effects and polishing the presentation

7. Challenges Smooth Snake Movement Initial jerky movement due to uneven updates. Solution: Implemented a timer-based approach to update the snake's position at consistent intervals, resulting in smoother movement. Adding Sound Effects Integrating sound effects (like explosions) for a more engaging experience. Solution: Used a sound library to play sound effects for actions like eating apples and bomb explosions.

9. Learnings Building this game solidified my understanding of core game development concepts like game loops, collision detection, and user input handling. I also gained experience in integrating sound effects to enhance the gameplay experience.
