# Introduction
1. **Overview**:
The program simulates the traditional Snake game where the player controls a snake that grows longer
as it eats food while avoiding collisions with itself and the game boundaries. The objective is to achieve a
high score by eating as much food as possible.
2. **Graphics Initialization**:
- The code initializes the graphics mode using `initgraph()`, which allows for drawing shapes and
images on the screen.
- It defines colors, styles, and dimensions for the snake and food graphics.
3. **Game Variables**:
- **Snake Position**: Arrays `X` and `Y` track the coordinates of the snake's segments.
- **Speed and Score**: Variables control the speed of the snake's movement and keep track of the
player's score and high score.
4. **Input Handling**:
- The snake's movement is controlled using keyboard inputs (8 for up, 5 for down, 6 for right, and 4 for
left).
- Input validation prevents the snake from reversing direction directly.
5. **Game Loop**:
- The main game loop runs until the player decides to exit (by pressing '0').
- The loop handles snake movement, collision detection, food consumption, and drawing the game
state on the screen.
6. **Collision Detection**:
- The game checks for collisions with the snake's own body and the game boundaries. If a collision is
detected, the game ends.
7. **Food Mechanics**:
- When the snake eats food, it grows longer, and the score increases.
- New food is randomly placed on the screen after consumption.
8. **Game Over and Score Saving**:
- When the game ends, the player's score is compared with the high score, and if it's higher, it gets
saved to a file.
### Conclusion
This code is a fun and educational example of basic game development principles, such as graphics
rendering, user input handling, and game state management. It can serve as a starting point for further
enhancements, such as improved graphics, sound effects, or more complex game mechanics.
