Installation

The game depends on the Go Binding of SDL2: https://github.com/veandco/go-sdl2. This needs to be installed first (OS depened).

go get github.com/fraenky8/go-snake
go build

Playing

Run the binary:

./go-snake

Game stops when snake eats itself and a GAME OVER! is printed on the command line.
