Snake Game on Your Terminal

Step 0: Clone the repository

Run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone --recursive <url_of_repo> 

This will clone the git submodules as well recursively. However, if you open the repo in github codespaces, you will need to run

git submodule update --init --recursive

to pull the submodules after the fact.

Step 1: Update Your System

Run the following command to update your system:

sudo apt update

Step 2: Install Boost Libraries

To install all Boost libraries, run:

sudo apt install libboost-all-dev

Step 3: Build the Snake Game

1. Create a build directory and navigate into it:

   mkdir build && cd build

2. Generate the makefile using CMake:

   cmake ..

3. Build the project:

   make

4. Run the Snake game:

   ./snake

5. To debug: Install cmake and cmake tools extensions. Then under the extension panel, you will find option to Debug (play button next to it). Just hit it and choose the target snake. Your breakpoints will start hitting.
