Hacks!

• Now that you know the basics and the outlines of the game, try some changes of your own!
• We will provide a list of easy, hard, and one challenge change that you guys can attempt.

Easy Hacks

• Change the background color, snake color, and food color
• Add or change settings to change the speed of the snake
• Increase the amount of length the snake gets from the food
• Add new keybinds to the snake (e.g give it WASD controls)
• Add a glowing effect to any part of the game
• Overhaul the UI (interface) of the setting screens/game over screen

Hard Hacks

• Change the food to use a different color or image than the snake body
• Add obstacles that the snake has to avoid
• Give snake multiple lives
• Make multiple foods available to the snake

Challenge!

• After every apple that you eat, your speed increases.

If you don’t want to do this challenge, make a substantial change on your own that we have not listed. We will accept that too! Completing both the challenge and a personal iteration = extra credit.
