Thereafter, we will create the display by changing those numbers into something that we can visualize and understand.

The code for the Snake program shown in the video above is shown below here! I will explain it in detail below too! The main idea is to create a mathematical layer where each number represent the wall, snake, food, etc. So, Enjoy the game! Oh, please press in case something acts up. It will probably prompt a warning for virus but donвЂ™t worry about that because ThePoorEngineer has no interest in infecting your computer or anything.

* The attached file only works in the windows operating system. If you are learning C++ programming, I would say that this exercise would be very beneficial to you, and it is fun as well! Below is a video on the Program, and here is the EXECUTABLE FILE. It might seem complicated at first but it is actually quite simple. In order to do this, I decided to recreate the old Snake game from the Nokia phone using C++. Both the Arduino IDE and Qt programming (my work in the ARC Lab in NUS requires me to use Qt) uses C++ so I thought it might be good to revise the lecture notes, and also pick up C++ programming along the way. I had a class on Programming methodology during my 1st semester in NUS which uses the C language.
