Snake Game Development Project: Java Swing Implementation

Desklib provides past papers and solved assignments for students. This project details building a Snake game in Java.

SNAKE GAME:
Abstract:
Snake game is referred as a classic video game. In this game, a player controls a snake which
needs to eat the given food and try to avoid getting contact with the walls. After every intake of
food, the length of the snake will increase and the main goal of this game is to consume
maximum food without touching the walls, this makes the game never ending. This particular
game is created in Java 2D with using Swing.
Introduction:
This snake game is created on java 2D with the help of swing. In this game snake need to eat the
food which is provided and after every consumption the size of the snake will increase and this
will continue until the snake get so enlarged that it either comes in contact with the wall or by
itself. The moment it gets in contact with the wall, the game will end there, otherwise the game
will continue for infinite time. For creating the code of the game there are many variables which
are needed and should be defined at the beginning including their respective data types
(Bodnar, 2019).
Motivation:
The motive to create is game is nothing but to provide entertainment to users and provide them a
playful game which can be played and enjoyed by any age group people or user.
System Structure:
Hardware requirements:
Hard disk: 5 GB, RAM: 512 MB
Processor: Intel i3 5 generation.
Software Requirement:
Language used: Advanced Java (Java Swing) and NetBeans 8.0.
Functions:
The only function of this game is to provide entertainment to the players and rejuvenate them by
enhancing the feeling to achieve maximum points.
User Requirements:

The only user requirement of this game is an operating system; it can also be a mobile device and
android application (Medium, 2019).
Inherent complexities and challenges:
The challenges in creating this game might be faced while creating the code and defining classes
and functions. Code should be created properly and with proper declaration and definitions.
Project Plan:
S.No Activity Data Range Activity Performed
1. Week 1 Research work and study about all requirements.
2. Week 2 Installation of required software and compilers
3. Week 3 Create the code and implement it.
4. Week 4 Run the code and rectify the errors that may occur.
Conclusion:
In the development of the Snake game, java language is used with the help of swing and the code
is created. The code includes all the definitions and proper declarations of the constants and
variables that are used into the code. As this game require proper directions in order to control
the snake by the player so different variables should be used to define every particular direction.
The game has different software requirement as well as hardware requirement which should be
fulfilled so that the game can run in proper manner. For a clean code the developer should have
proper knowledge of using interfaces and classes.
