PART A – Micro-Project Proposal

Implementation of Snake Game

1.0 Brief Introduction
Java is a widely used object-oriented programming language and software platform that
runs on billions of devices, including notebook computers, mobile devices, gaming
consoles, medical devices and many others. The rules and syntax of Java are based on the
C and C++ languages.
The Java-based Snake Game showcases fundamental programming concepts,
including object-oriented design, event handling, and graphical user interface
development. With intuitive keyboard controls, players navigate the snake through the
grid, facing the challenge of strategic movement to maximize their score. The game's
visual elements, from the snake's dynamic motion to the placement of fruits, are presented
using ASCII characters, providing a nostalgic and retro aesthetic. As a versatile and
educational project, the Snake Game serves as an excellent introduction to Java
programming for beginners, allowing them to gain hands-on experience in building a
graphical application. The code can be further extended and customized, making it a
valuable resource for learning advanced programming concepts, game development, and
software design. Overall, the Snake Game in Java offers a fun and interactive way for
developers to enhance their skills while enjoying the timeless appeal of this classic
gaming experience.

4.0 Literature Review
Video game development is the process of creating a video game. The effort is undertaken by a
game developer, who may range from a single person to an international team dispersed across
the globe. A video game can be developed in many different languages, one of them being Java,
Java is one of the best languages in which one can develop lop a game . Coding in Java allows
one to make games that will run on all the desktop stop operating systems like Windows, OSX
and Linux but also it is the native language for making games for all And Android devices. A
game can. be developed in Java by using IDE's. Eclipse is an Integrated Development
Environment for Java. We can use Eclipse for coding and executing the games. The Snake Game
is one of the games that can be implemented in Java. Here the snake is moved around by the
player, for it to reach the apple. It takes us one step forward to learning more about the computer
languages.

4.0 Proposed Methodology

1. Naming Conventions:
• Java naming conventions recommend using camelCase for variable names. Consider
using camelCase for variable names like gameOver, fruitX, fruitY, score, tailLength, and
dir.
• The constant variables like WIDTH, HEIGHT, TILE_SIZE, and GAME_SPEED are
appropriately named using uppercase letters with underscores.
2. Structure and Organization:
• The structure of your code looks good, and you have used methods to break down
functionality into logical unit
• Consider adding comments to explain complex sections of your code or any
algorithms you are using.
3. Magic Numbers:
• Consider replacing magic numbers with named constants or variables to make the
code more readable and maintainable. For example, the number 100 is used in the array
size declaration for tailX and tailY. Instead, you could use a constant like
MAX_TAIL_SIZE.
4. Graphics Drawing:
• The drawing of the game elements in the draw method is clear and concise. However,
you might consider using a more flexible approach, such as creating a grid-based system
for drawing the game elements.
5. Key Handling:
• Handling key events seems well-implemented. You're using KeyEvent.VK_LEFT,
KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT, etc., to determine the direction of the snake.
6. Random Fruit Placement:

5
 • The random placement of the fruit is done using Math.random(). While this works, it
might be more visually appealing to ensure that the fruit is not placed on the snake's
body.

7. Game Over Handling:

• The game over handling and display in the gameOver method are clear. It might be
helpful to add instructions for restarting the game or exiting the application.
8. Timer Usage:
• You're using a Timer to control the game speed. The GAME_SPEED constant
determines the delay between timer events. Consider adding comments to explain how
this value affects the game speed.
9. Unused Imports:
• There are some unused import statements at the beginning of your code. You may
want to remove them for cleaner code.
10. Closing Parenthesis in gameOver Method:
• The gameOver method seems to be missing a closing parenthesis.

A comprehensive literature review of Snake Game development using the java programming
language reveals that while there might be limited formal academic research on this specific
topic, there is a wealth of educational materials, tutorials, and community resources available.
Many tutorials and online forums provide practical guidance for implementing a Snake Game in
Java, elucidating key concepts such as game loop architecture, object-oriented design, collision
detection algorithms, and user interface development. Java’s versatility as a language for game
development is often demonstrated through such projects, showcasing its applicability in both
educational and recreational contexts. Furthermore, the open-source community contributes to
the collective knowledge, offering valuable insights into best practices, code samples, and
common challenges encountered in java-based game development. While scholarly research
might be scant, the abundance of practical resources and shared expertise in online communities
makes Snake Game development a widely accessible and educational domain for aspiring game
developers and java programmers.
