 Abstract

Welcome to "Snek"! 🐍

"Snek" is a computer game based on the old snake game we used to play. It's made using C++ and
OpenGL, which help make the game look nice and run smoothly. In "Snek," you control a snake that
moves around a grid and eats food to get points. But be careful! If the snake runs into itself or the
edges of the game, it is game over. Each time the snake eats, it gets longer, making it harder to avoid
obstacles. "Snek" brings back the fun of the classic snake game in a modern way that is easy to enjoy.

1. Introduction

"Snek" is a nostalgic journey back to the golden era of gaming, offering a modern twist on the classic
snake game we all know and love. Developed using C++ and OpenGL, this project brings the timeless
joy of guiding a snake through a grid-based world right to your desktop.

With captivating graphics and smooth gameplay mechanics, "Snek" challenges players to navigate
their snake through a maze, gobbling up food and growing longer with each bite. But beware of
colliding with yourself or the walls – one wrong move could mean game over!

Join us as we embark on an adventure filled with fun, nostalgia, and plenty of slithery action. Are you
ready to unleash your inner snake charmer? Let's dive into the world of "Snek" and see if you have

what it takes to conquer the grid! 🎮🐍

2. Computer Graphics concepts used

Concept Why was it used?

OpenGL Rendering
Coordinate Systems
Transformation Matrices
Collision Detection
Rendering Pipeline
used for displaying 2D and 3D graphics in the game.
used to represent positions of objects like the snake, food, and
walls within the game.
used for translating, rotating, and scaling objects in the game
world to ensure proper rendering.
Algorithms to detect when the snake collides with itself or
obstacles, triggering game over scenarios.
Series of stages (vertex processing, rasterization, etc.) used to
render graphics efficiently in real-time.
