snake-qt

A simple (less good looking) snake game written in C++20 & Qt6, tested under Linux.

The used modern C++ set of features isn't that large due to the project not really being that complicated...

Useful References

Here are some references (besides basic doc) I used for this mini project:

• Geeks4Geeks article about how to create a snake game in Python
  • I don't like and know Python, but the step-by-step scheme was a little help for me
  • It also recommended useing a QFrame object insted of a plain QWidget, which is more appropiate
• A StackOverflow post whith a relative example
• cfanatic's repo using Qt5
  • Only caused confusion & bugs... The user name should have been a warning to me...
• Learn Cpp Mersenne Twister tutorial
  • This site really is worth gold!
