nsnake Command Examples in Linux

by Deepika

nsnake is a terminal-based implementation of the classic Snake game. Snake is a simple arcade game in which the player controls a snake that moves around the screen, collecting food and growing longer with each bite. The objective of the game is to grow the snake as long as possible without running into the walls of the game area or colliding with its own tail.

nsnake is a terminal-based implementation of this game, which can be run directly from the terminal without the need for a graphical user interface. It uses ASCII characters to display the game area and the snake, and allows the player to control the snake using the arrow keys.

nsnake is a fun and simple way to pass the time, and can be a useful tool for those looking to improve their terminal skills. It is also a good example of how to implement a simple game in a terminal-based environment, and can serve as inspiration for those interested in developing their own terminal-based games.
