To design and implement a classic Snake Game where the player controls a snake that grows
longer as it consumes food. The game ends when the snake collides with itself or the
boundaries of the game area. The goal is to achieve the highest score possible.

2. Scope

The Snake Game will be developed as a single-player game. The game will feature a graphical
interface and basic gameplay mechanics. It will be available on desktop platforms and/or in a
web browser.

4.​ UI Elements:
○​ Display the current score at the top.
○​ Show high score across sessions (optional).

5. Technical Requirements

1.​ Programming Language:


○​ Python (using Pygame) or JavaScript (using HTML5 Canvas).
2.​ Tools and Frameworks:
○​ Python: Pygame library for graphics and input handling.
○​ JavaScript: HTML5 Canvas for rendering graphics.
3.​ Input Handling:
○​ Capture keyboard events for controlling the snake.
4.​ Randomization:
○​ Use a random number generator to place food items.
5.​ Collision Detection:
