HY452-Snake

Overview

HY452-Snake is a proof-of-concept snake game featuring a cloud-based scoring system. Players can register and log in to track their high scores, change backgrounds, and customize music settings. The game allows users to control the snake with keyboard commands while their scores are managed in a DynamoDB Table. This project demonstrates the use of cloud services, such as AWS, to create a simple game with a cloud-based scoring system.
