Project Structure

The project is organized into the following main components:

• Main File (snake.c): Contains the main game loop, initialization, input handling, and game state management.

• Linked List Implementation (linkedList.c, linkedList.h): Provides functionality to manage the snake's body as a linked list of nodes (Node structure).

• Grid Drawing (drawGrid.c, drawGrid.h): Handles the drawing of the game grid using Raylib functions.

Components

1. Main Loop and Game State Management:

   • snake.c: Controls the main game loop, initialization (InitWindow, SetTargetFPS), and game over conditions.
   • handleMovement(): Manages user input for controlling the snake's direction (KEY_UP, KEY_DOWN, KEY_LEFT, KEY_RIGHT).
   • updateGame(deltaTime): Updates the game state based on elapsed time (deltaTime), including snake movement and collision detection.
   • drawGame(): Draws the game elements on the screen using Raylib (DrawText, DrawRectangle).

2. Linked List Management:

   • linkedList.h: Defines the Node structure and function prototypes for manipulating the linked list.
   • insertLinkedList(): Inserts new nodes (snake segments) into the linked list.
   • pushLinkedList(): Adds a new segment to the end of the snake.
   • resetLinkedList(): Frees memory allocated for the linked list upon game reset.

3. Grid Drawing:

   • drawGrid.h: Declares functions for drawing the game grid (drawGrid()).
   • drawGrid.c: Implements grid drawing using Raylib's DrawLine function.

Dependencies

• Raylib: Graphics library used for rendering graphics and handling input.
