Welcome to Snake Game 2D in Lua! This is a classic arcade-style game where you control a snake, guiding it to eat food and grow while avoiding collisions with walls and its own tail. This project utilizes Lua and the LÖVE 2D framework for game development.

To compile and run Snake Game 2D in Lua, you need the following:

• Lua 5.x: LÖVE 2D is built on Lua, so a compatible Lua environment is inherently part of the LÖVE 2D installation.
• LÖVE 2D: A free, open-source 2D game framework that handles graphics, audio, input, and other game development necessities.

Snake Game 2D for Lua depends on the following:

• The LÖVE 2D framework (no external Lua libraries are explicitly required beyond what LÖVE provides).

To run Snake Game 2D in Lua, follow these steps:

1. Install LÖVE 2D: Download and install LÖVE 2D from its official website: https://love2d.org/

   • For Windows, drag the project folder onto love.exe.
   • For macOS, drag the project folder onto the LÖVE application icon.
   • For Linux, navigate to the project's root directory in your terminal and run:

     love .

     If you're using an AppImage, ensure it's executable and specify its path followed by the project folder's path:

     ./love-11.5-x86_64.AppImage ./

     (Replace ./love-11.5-x86_64.AppImage with the actual path to your LÖVE AppImage if it's not in the current directory, and ./ with the path to the main.lua's containing folder if it's not in the current directory).

2. Run the Game:

   • Navigate to the project's root directory (where main.lua is located).
   • Execute the game using your LÖVE 2D installation as described above.
