🎮 How to Play

1. Move the Snake: Use the Arrow Keys (Up, Down, Left, Right) to control the snake's direction.
2. Eat Food: Guide the snake to the red food squares. Each time you eat food, your snake will grow longer, and your score will increase.
3. Avoid Collisions:
   • Don't hit the edges of the game screen.
   • Don't run into your own snake's body.
4. Game Over: If you collide with the walls or yourself, the game ends.
5. Restart: After "Game Over," press R to restart a new game or Q to quit.
