🐍 Linked List Snake

A SFML-based version of the classic Snake game implemented in C++. This project uniquely integrates Linked List and Doubly Linked List data structures to represent the snake and simulate operations based on the food it consumes.

🎮 Gameplay Features

• SFML-based interface with keyboard input
• Classic snake movement and growth
• Different food types trigger unique linked list operations
• Game over on self-collision

🧠 Data Structures in Action

This project uses:

• The snake body is managed using a Singly Linked List or a Doubly Linked List, based on the selected branch, with food items triggering corresponding operations.

• Food-triggered behaviors:

  • 🍔 Burger - Insert at head
  • 🧀 Cheese - Insert in middle
  • 🍕 Pizza - Insert at tail
  • 🍎 Apple - Delete at head
  • 🥭 Mango - Delete at middle
  • 🍊 Orange - Delete at tail
  • ☠️ Poison - Delete half nodes
  • 🍷 Alcohol - Reverse Direction

• Each food item maps to a specific linked list operation, turning gameplay into a fun data structure demo.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• C++
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
• SFML
