🐍 Snake Game with Enemy AI

📌 Overview

This is a classic Snake Game built using Python and Tkinter, with an added twist—an enemy snake that competes for food. The enemy snake spawns based on the player’s score and remains active for a limited time, making the game more challenging!

✨ Features

• 🎮 Classic Snake Gameplay – Navigate the snake to collect food and grow.
• 🆚 Enemy Snake AI – Spawns every 5 points and competes for food.
• 🚧 Obstacle Generation – Random obstacles appear on the grid.
• ⏳ Enemy Snake Timer – Stays active for 10 seconds before disappearing.
• 📊 Real-Time Score Tracking – Score updates dynamically.
• 💥 Game Over Conditions – The game ends if the player:
  • Collides with an obstacle.
  • Crashes into the enemy snake.
  • Hits the screen boundary.
• 🛠️ Game Area Customization – Players can select a game area with obstacle placements that best suit their playstyle before restarting.

🎮 Gameplay Mechanics

1️⃣ Starting the Game

• The game begins on a static screen.
• Press any key to start playing.

2️⃣ Controls

• Use Arrow Keys (⬆️⬇️⬅️➡️) to move the snake.
• The goal is to eat food and grow in size.

3️⃣ Food Collection & Enemy Snake Behavior

• Each food item increases the player's score.
• When the score reaches a multiple of 5 (5, 10, 15...), an enemy snake spawns for 10 seconds.
• A countdown starts from 10, and the enemy competes for food.
• If the score remains at a multiple of 5 without further increase, the enemy snake respawns.

4️⃣ Collision Detection & Game Over

• The game ends for the player when:
  • it collides with an obstacle.
  • the head of the player's snake hits the enemy snake.
  • it crashes into the screen boundary.
• The snake cannot reverse direction instantly (e.g., moving left cannot immediately switch to right).

5️⃣ Restarting & Game Area Selection

• After losing, press Space to restart.
• Keep pressing Space to generate a new game area with different obstacle placements before starting again.

🚀 Installation & Running the Game

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
