About this project

What you'll build: Create a simple version of the classic Snake game, where the player controls a snake to eat food and grow longer, with the score displayed on screen.

Why it's a good starter: This project is beginner-friendly, with clear steps and a small scope, letting you practice Python basics while seeing fun results quickly. No advanced math or graphics skills needed!

What you'll learn: You'll get hands-on experience with Python coding, basic game logic, handling user input, and keeping track of scores. This project sets a solid foundation for future game development.

Milestones

1. Setup & Plan

10 marks 5d

Submit a short plan (1/2 page) of your game structure, and a screenshot showing Python, Pygame installed, and a 'Hello, Snake!' window opens. Done looks like: tools working, clear plan for next steps.

2. Core Build Part 1: Snake Movement

30 marks 10d

Submit code and a short video/gif showing the snake moves around the window with arrow keys, no food or scoring yet. Done looks like: window opens, snake moves, doesn't crash.

3. Core Build Part 2: Food & Scoring

35 marks 12d

Submit code and a demo where the snake eats food to grow, and score updates correctly on screen. Done looks like: food appears, snake grows, score increases, no major bugs.

4. Testing & Polish

15 marks 14d

Submit tested code and a checklist showing you fixed bugs and improved visuals (e.g. game over screen, clearer snake/food colors). Done looks like: game runs smoothly, looks neat.

5. Demo & Short Report

10 marks 14d

Submit a 2-minute video demo and a 1-page report explaining what you learned and any challenges. Done looks like: clear explanation, working game, honest reflection.
