Why I built this

Snake was one of the first games I played as a kid — on a Nokia phone with a monochrome screen. I wanted to rebuild it from scratch, but with portals instead of walls, extra life pickups, and the kind of visual polish that makes you want to keep playing. It's the simplest game in the collection, but it's also the one that pushed me to build the entire engine layer — input polling, game loop, grid rendering, state machines — because I needed a solid foundation before tackling anything more complex.
