โ“ Problem Statement

The current Snake Game only runs at a fixed/default speed, and there is no option for players to choose a difficulty level. This creates the same gameplay experience for all users, regardless of their skill level, and reduces replayability and engagement.

๐Ÿš€ Proposed Enhancement

Introduce multiple difficulty levels such as Easy, Medium, and Hard to allow players to control the snake speed according to their preference and skill level.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Suggested Implementation

  • Add a difficulty selection option before starting the game.
  • Implement predefined speed settings:
    Easy โ†’ Slow snake movement
    Medium โ†’ Normal/default speed
    Hard โ†’ Fast snake movement
  • Dynamically adjust the game loop interval based on the selected difficulty.
  • Optionally display the current difficulty level during gameplay and add score multipliers for higher difficulties.
