Snake Pathfinding AI

This AI-powered snake game uses the Breadth-First Search (BFS) algorithm to navigate the snake autonomously. Learn how this project was developed by watching this YouTube video (Arabic).

Gameplay

Setup and Execution

  1. Download and install Python 3.
  2. Install the required modules by executing the following command in your terminal:
pip install pygame
  1. Run play.py to start the game.

Code Overview

  • settings.py : This file houses game configurations and global variables such as width and height.
  • snake.py : This is where the Snake and Square classes are defined.
  • play.py : Contains the code required to run the game.

Functionality

  1. The snake uses the BFS algorithm to find the shortest path (path_1) to the apple. If path_1 is not accessible, the process moves to step 4.
  2. A virtual snake, identical to the actual one, is created and set to follow path_1.
  3. Once the virtual snake reaches the apple, the path between its head and tail (path_2) is checked. If accessible, the actual snake is then directed to follow path_1.
  4. If either path_1 or path_2 is inaccessible, the actual snake is commanded to follow its tail.
