A classic Snake game implementation in Rust using the Crossterm library for terminal manipulation.
This is a simple, terminal-based Snake game where you control a snake that grows longer as it eats food. The game ends when the snake hits the wall or itself.
- Rust and Cargo (https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
- Dependencies:
- crossterm (for terminal manipulation)
- rand (for random food placement)
- Clone this repository or create a new Rust project
- Add the following dependencies to your
Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
crossterm = "0.26.1"
rand = "0.8.5"- Copy the source code into
src/main.rs - Build and run the game with
cargo run
- Use arrow keys (↑, ↓, ←, →) to navigate the snake
- Eat food (●) to increase your score and make the snake grow
- Avoid hitting walls and the snake's own body
- Press 'q' to quit the game
- ↑ (Up Arrow): Change direction to upward
- ↓ (Down Arrow): Change direction to downward
- ← (Left Arrow): Change direction to left
- → (Right Arrow): Change direction to right
