CPPND: Capstone Snake Game from Example code

This is a Stake game based on the starter code which is provided by Udacity C++ Udacity C++ Nanodegree Program. (base repo: https://github.com/udacity/CppND-Capstone-Snake-Game)

Rudbic Points

• The project uses Object Oriented Programming techniques.

  • Classes for controller/game/renderer/snake is used in the program.

• Class constructors utilize member initialization lists.

  • Initialization list is used in game/renderer/snake class constructor.

• Templates generalize functions in the project.

  • Applied Templates in message queue in renderer class.

• The project uses destructors appropriately.

  • Class destructor is well defined in renderer class.

• The project uses multithreading.

  • There are 2 thread : main and thread for renderer.

• A mutex or lock is used in the project. A condition variable is used in the project.

  • In renderer class, MessageQueue concept is applied. To apply MessageQueue concept, mutex and condition variable are used.

Basic Build Instructions

1. Clone this repo.
2. Make a build directory in the top level directory: mkdir build && cd build
3. Compile: cmake .. && make
4. Run it: ./SnakeGame.

Game Rule

1. If snake eat the food, snake's body will grow and you'll get 1 point.
2. Every time when snake eat the food, snake's speed will be faster.
3. If snake hit the wall or itself then game is over.
