• Food generation in random positions
• Snake movement timer (200ms per move)

• Snake implementation as a linked list of blocks
• Movement and direction handling
• Tongue animation with random timing
• Self-collision detection

• All graphics rendering functions
• Game coordinates to pixel conversion
• Drawing blocks, eyes, tongue, and borders
• Visual effects (gradients, shadows)

• Block size: 25x25 pixels
• Board: 27x22 blocks (675x550 pixels)
• Colors:
  • Background: Dark blue [0.08, 0.10, 0.12, 1.0]
