Creating a game is one of the best ways to learn a programming language. Java is a versatile language and I wanted to create a simple game in order to get to know the basic syntax and usage.

I found remembering the names of relevant java classes difficult. I had to refer to help files several times. I also found that debugging was difficult in terms of formatting grids and colours. Once i made it work for smaller grid size, it was easy to generalise the code for multiple grid sizes.

Yes, there are several features i know i should add to make the game better. Some of the features are: * multi-player ability with more than one snake in the grid * scoring mechanisms * better GUI for starting, stopping and quitting the game * adding ability to post and share broadly
