Snake OpenGL Game

A simple snake game in C++ and modern OpenGL

About The Project

[]

This project is a classic Snake game implemented in the C++ programming language using the OpenGL graphics library. The goal of the project is to demonstrate the basic principles of working with OpenGL and creating an interactive 2D game.

Project objectives:

• Practical application of OpenGL and C++ knowledge.
• Creating a functional and fun game.
• Demonstration of the basics of developing 2D games in C++ using OpenGL.

Used libraries

• GLAD: OpenGL function loader. Provides platform-independent access to OpenGL functions.
• GLFW 3: Cross-platform windowing library. Handles window creation, input, and OpenGL context management.
• GLM: Math library for graphics software based on the OpenGL.
• Dear ImGui: Immediate Mode GUI library. A simple and efficient way to create in-application user interfaces.
