Classic
Snake
Game
A CLASSIC WITH A
TWIST!
Introduction
•Presenter: Salma Mahmoud Sami
•Role: Sole Developer, Designer, and Tester
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.
Technology &
Architecture
•Frontend: Pygame for game development
•Backend: JSON for storing high scores
•Sound: Pygame mixer for sound effects
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.
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
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.
Live Demo
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.
Thank You
