📖How to Play

Classic Snake is the timeless grid arcade game where you steer a snake toward red targets, growing longer with every bite. Each successful bite increases your score — and as your score rises, the snake moves faster.

Do not hit the walls or your own body — one crash ends the run.

🎮Gameplay Mechanics

1. Movement

• Use arrow keys (Up, Down, Left, Right) to control the snake's direction.
• The snake moves continuously forward — you cannot stop, only steer.
• Pressing any arrow key also starts the game from idle.

2. Eating Targets

• A red box appears randomly on the grid as your target.
• Guide the snake's head to touch the red box to eat it.
• After each bite, the target reappears in a new random location and the snake grows one segment longer.

3. Speed Progression

• As your score increases, the snake moves faster.
• Higher speeds demand quicker reactions and tighter route planning.
• The challenge ramps steadily — there is no sudden difficulty spike.

4. Game Over

• Crashing into the edge of the game area ends the run.
• Running into your own tail also ends the run instantly.
• Use the Restart button, Enter, or Spacebar to start a new game.

5. Pause and Controls

• Press Spacebar to pause or resume at any time.
• Restart anytime after a crash to beat your high score.
• Simple controls make Classic Snake easy to learn and hard to master.

💡Tips for Success

1. Plan Ahead

• Think a few moves in advance to avoid trapping yourself in corners or your own tail.

2. Stay Toward the Center

• Keeping the snake near the middle of the grid gives you more escape options.

3. Control the Speed

• As the game speeds up, smooth turns beat sharp reversals.

4. Avoid Spiraling Inward

• Tight loops around yourself shrink your safe space quickly as the snake grows.

5. Chase Your High Score

• Each run teaches you better path habits — restart immediately and apply what you learned.
