SnakeFX

This is a clone of the old mobile phone game "Snake". It was created as an example project to learn JavaFX.

The object of the game is simple: You are controlling a snake that likes to eat food. Every time the snake eats some food it grows a little bit. You may not bite yourself in the tail or you are game over. There are no walls in this game so when you move outside of one side of the screen you appear again on the other side of the screen.
