• Ran termbox.PollEvent on a GoRoutine to detect key press and used Go Channels to share data between GoRoutine.
• Created a Game object to store all required data, and created methods for all logics.
• Created a 2d Array to represent board where, 0 means blank-space, 1 means snake and 2 means food.
• Snake moves by moving its head coords and removing its tail.
