Small prototype of the snake game made in C++ with the SDL 2 library (dev and ttf-dev, from SDL2).

The game implements lives system, pause, and Game Over screen. For the moment it only supports one speed.

Compile on Linux with g++ *.cpp `sdl2-config --cflags --libs` -lSDL2_ttf

Compile on Windows with g++ *.cpp -IC:\SDL\i686-w64-mingw32\include\SDL2 -LC:\SDL\i686-w64-mingw32\lib -w -Wl,-subsystem,windows -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2 -lSDL2_ttf

In order to successfully compile and run this project, you will need to have the SDL 2 libraries on your system.

Install the libsdl2-2.0-0, libsdl2-dev, libsdl2-ttf-2.0-0, and libsdl2-ttf-dev libraries.

MinGW with g++ compiler should be installed on your system.

Download the latest SDL2-devel-2.x.x-mingw from SDL's official page and uncompress the inner folder's contents on an easy access directory (such as C:\SDL, for example). Download as well the latest SDL2_ttf-devel-2.x.x-mingw from SDL_ttf 2.0's page, uncompress, and merge the inner folder's content with the previously created for base SDL (inside C:\SDL)

From the new directory (C:\SDL), there is a folder named with your desired architecture. Copy that folder's bin content onto your MinGW's bin folder, and the include folder's contents onto MinGW's include

Guide the snake to eat food while avoiding collisions with walls or the body of the snake. Arrow keys change the snake's direction and RETURN (ENTER) pauses the game. You have three lives to get the highest possible score.
