🎮 Game Features

• Two Difficulty Modes

  • Easy Mode: Safe wall collision. Perfect for casual play and warm-ups.
  • Medium Mode: Instant game over on wall contact—test your reflexes!

• Hall of Fame: Stores and displays high scores by player name across sessions.

• Sound Effects:

  • Background music (snakes1.wav)
  • Game over sound (Game_over.wav)

• Save System: Automatically stores scores in scores.txt for high score tracking.

🧠 How It Works

• Classic snake mechanics: control the snake using keyboard inputs.
• Eat fruits to grow your tail and increase your score.
• Avoid collisions with the wall (in Medium mode) and with your own tail.
