Console Snake

Lei Mao

Introduction

The Console Snake game with background music was implemented using C++ and the libraries libncurses and libcplayer. libncurses (new curses) is a programming library providing an application programming interface (API) that allows the programmer to write text-based user interfaces in a terminal-independent manner. libcplayer (console player) is a C++ library for playing background sound asynchronously in C++ programs.
