🐍 Snake Game (OpenGL)

A classic Snake game built with Python, Pygame, and OpenGL — rendered using real-time 3D graphics pipeline instead of standard 2D sprites.

---

🎮 Gameplay

• Control the snake using arrow keys
• Eat red food to grow longer and earn points (+10 per food)
• Game ends if the snake hits a wall or itself
• Final score displayed in terminal on game over

---

✨ Features

• 🎮 Classic snake mechanics
• 🖥️ Rendered using OpenGL (PyOpenGL) — not basic 2D pygame
• 🔴 Randomly spawning food that avoids snake body
• 💚 Smooth grid-based movement
• 📊 Score tracking

🧠 Why OpenGL?

Most Snake games use basic Pygame 2D drawing. This project uses OpenGL's rendering pipeline (quads, vertex coordinates, orthographic projection) — showing understanding of graphics programming beyond standard libraries.
