How can we create our Window
void setup() // for defining initial properties
{
size(300,300);
background(0);

How can we create our Snake
ArrayList<Integer> x_pos = new ArrayList<Integer>();
ArrayList<Integer> y_pos = new ArrayList<Integer>();
int height=24,width=24; // window
int block = 15;
void setup(){
x_pos.add(4); // initial position
y_pos.add(15);
}
void draw(){
fill(255);
for(int i=0;i<x_pos.size();i++)
rect(x_pos.get(i)*block, y_pos.get(i)*block , block,block);
}

How can we move our Snake
int dir=2; //0 -down , 1-up, 2-left, 3-right
int []x_dir={0,0,1,-1}; // up down left right
int []y_dir={1,-1,0,0};
if(frameCount%8==0){ // only one element is present
x_pos.add(0,x_pos.get(0)+x_dir[dir]);
y_pos.add(0,y_pos.get(0)+y_dir[dir]);
x_pos.remove(x_pos.size()- 1);
y_pos.remove(y_pos.size()- 1);

How can we control our Snake
int dir=2; //0 -down , 1-up, 2-right, 3-left
int []x_dir={0,0,1,-1}; // up down left right
int []y_dir={1,-1,0,0};
void keyPressed(){
int new_dir = keyCode;
if(keyCode==DOWN)
new_dir=0;
else if(keyCode==UP)
new_dir=1;
else if(keyCode==LEFT)
new_dir=3;
else if(keyCode==RIGHT)
new_dir=2;
else
new_dir =-1;
if(new_dir!=-1)
dir=new_dir;
}

How does our Snake Eat Food
1. Creating the Food
int f_x_pos=15;
int f_y_pos=15;
boolean gamestatus =false;
if (!gamestatus)
{
fill(255);
rect(f_x_pos*block,f_y_pos*block,block,block);
}

How does our Snake Eat Food
2. Now making our snake eat food and creating random positions for next
if(x_pos.get(0)==f_x_pos && y_pos.get(0)==f_y_pos){
f_x_pos=(int)random(0,width);
f_y_pos=(int)random(0,height);
}

How to display Score
Positioning our scoreboard:
textAlign(LEFT); //alignment
textSize(25); // position
fill(255);
text("Score:" + x_pos.size(),0,20);

How can we increase our Snake’s Speed
int speed =10;
Just after our snake eats food:
if(x_pos.size()%2==0 && speed>=2 )
speed=speed-1;

When does our Snake die
1. When our snake touches the border:
if(x_pos.get(0)<0 || y_pos.get(0)<0 || x_pos.get(0)>wdt|| y_pos.get(0)>hgt)
{
gamestatus=true;
}
1. When our touches itself:
for(int i=1;i<x_pos.size();i++)
{
if(x_pos.get(0)==x_pos.get(i) && y_pos.get(0)==y_pos.get(i))
gamestatus=true;
}

Display the score
fill(222, 9, 12);
textAlign(CENTER);
textSize(30);
text("Game Over \n Score: " + x_pos.size() + "\n Press Enter", 500/2,500/2);
if(keyCode ==ENTER)
{
x_pos.clear();
y_pos.clear();
x_pos.add(4);
y_pos.add(15);
dir =2;
speed=10;
gamestatus = false;
}
