🐍 SnakeGamePro – Advanced Java Snake Game
A modern, animated Snake game built using Java Swing.
This project demonstrates object-oriented design, event-driven programming, file handling, and audio integration in Java.
SnakeGamePro is a feature-rich desktop implementation of the classic Snake game.
It includes animated visuals, difficulty selection, sound effects, and persistent highscore tracking.
The project was designed to showcase clean architecture, modular design, and real-time game logic using Java.
