Snake but each pixel is its own Windows window, shockingly NOT crossplatform Windows only!

- Download BasicSnake.exe from the releases tab and run it!

My first thought was tetris, however after I solved the problem of displaying and coloring windows, I realized Tetris is hard to program, and that snake would get the same point across while being much easier to program.
- I also got to use some code from my as of yet unseen C game engine, I used its input system in this project
- Windows Snake on the desktop:
- Some action packed scenes:
- The thumbnail previews displaying that the active 'pixels' are individual windows:
