A simple snake game written in Go

Go Snake

This is a simple snake game written in Go. I wrote it to get familiar with the language.

Dependencies

The game uses GTK3 for rendering the game window and Cairo for drawing the game elements. I use the gotk3 library to interface with GTK3 and Cairo.

Compilation

To compile the game, you need to have the GTK3 and Cairo development libraries installed on your system.

On Ubuntu, you can install them with the following command:

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev libcairo2-dev

Given that you have Go installed on your system, you can then compile the game with the following command:

go build
