A classic Snake game implementation written in Go and Ebitengine, featuring sound effects, particle systems, and progressive difficulty.

Mostly created as a good way to play with Golang and to add another Ebitengine example

Majority of the work in a weekend after discovering ebitengine

This is a modern take on the classic Snake game where players control a snake that grows longer as it consumes food.

Tutorial

• Use arrow keys to control the snake's direction
• Guide the snake to eat the food items that appear on the screen
• Avoid hitting the walls or the snake's own body
• Press p to pause the game and resume it at any time
• Press m to toggle sound effects on and off
• Press Spacebar to fire snake tongue
• When gameover, press Spacebar to restart
• UI buttons for new game, mute and pause

• The snake grows longer each time it eats food (caps at 40 segments)
• Eat the food to gain 2 points, or use tongue to do it more quickly for 1 points
• The game speed increases with each food item eaten, making it progressively more challenging
• Food items may randomly disappear, adding an extra challenge
• Game ends if the snake collides with walls or itself

• Smooth snake movement
• Visual particle effects
• Sound effects for:
• Food collection
• Game over events
• Progressive difficulty (snake speeds up as it eats)
• Random food disappearance mechanics
