Snake Game

A simple Snake Game built using Python and the Pygame library. Control the snake, eat the food, and try to achieve the highest score without colliding with the walls or the snake's own body.

Features

• Dynamic Gameplay: The snake grows in length as it eats the food.
• Collision Detection: The game ends if the snake collides with the walls or itself.
• Custom Borders: Added decorative yellow borders around the frame.
• Scoring System: Displays the player's score in real-time.

3. Eat the blue food to grow the snake and increase your score.
4. Avoid colliding with the walls or the snake's body.
5. If you lose, press Q to quit or C to restart the game.
