A classic snake game made in C++ using sfml library. It will be a good way to learn about different aspect of development with C++ for a beginer.

Currently the build system available are:
  MS Build (Visual Studio)
  GNU Make

Requirements

Must Have (dependencies)

• SFML 2.4.1 or above - http://www.sfml-dev.org/

Linux

```
 sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev
```

Windows

• Vist www.sfml-dev.org and download the lastest version of the library.
• In project settings,

1. Add the </path/to/sfml/>/include to your c++ include path.
2. Then add </path/to/sfml/>/lib to the linker extra library path.

• GameMenu library : Link : https://github.com/ParadoxZero/GameMenu-cpp

MS Build

• Visual Studio 15 or above
• VC++ 15 or above

Linux

• g++ 4.8 or above
• GNU Make

Building from source

First Method (prefered and used) MS Build

• Download the source code.

• Import into Visual Studio

• Build according to your need (x64 or x86 or whatever)

  Don't forget to link the sfml libraries - graphics, window and system.
  put the following files in linker input:
   sfml-system-d.lib, sfml-window-d.lib, sfml-graphics-d.lib and GameMenu.lib
  

• Copy the sfml dlls (window, graphics and system) along with the executable

• Then Run and enjoy

Second Method Makefile

(Build will work, but the application is untested)

• Download source code
• cd to directory eg

 $ cd sfml-snake

• Run make

 $ make

• the exectable bin/game should apear. The directory will be created if doesn't exist.
• Run and enjoy

Contribution

• Lot's of work remaining.
  • GUI Menu (see https://github.com/ParadoxZero/GameMenu-cpp)
  • Settings and user data save system.
  • Sound
• In case you are woundering about the extra complication in moving snake - That is done in order to smoothen the animation of movement. To have slower/ variable speed of snake in Higher framerate
