termsnake

How to play

get the game:
- play with docker run -it --rm ghcr.io/dsorm/termsnake:master(if you have Docker)
- download the binary from releases - https://github.com/dsorm/termsnake/releases
- install with go install github.com/dsorm/termsnake@latest(if you have Go installed and properly configured)
enter your desired width and height of the snake board (must be bigger than 5x5 and must fit in your terminal window)
use the arrow keys to change snake's direction
eat food (the red thing) to get bigger
don't eat yourself (the green thing)

real-time input and output (has to run on it's own without any input, and the user has to be fast)
has to run in a terminal, no fancy windows
has to output and refresh the state every round
- I didn't include the dimensions of the snake board, because it doesn't change and is entered by the user

I tried to keep as close as possible to the requirements, however where it didn't make sense (would be too complicated), I didn't follow them exactly.
- I assume that according to the requirements, the snake should be represented in the 2D array/slice. It would however be too complicated to keep track of the curvature of the snake, so the snake isn't inside the array, it is a linked list instead.
If the snake gets to the wall, it automatically climbs out of the opposite side.
If you bite yourself (the snake is going straight to the right and you suddenly press left arrow to go straight to left), the game will end. This is not a bug, this is by design.
The screencast has a bug - head y sometimes shows wrong number. This is now fixed.

This task took me about 7 hours to complete.
