##### **Description**:
A big collection of individual remakes of simple and well-known games in Python such as the Snake game and Rock Paper Scissors, that can be played in the terminal of an IDE.
Most games require WASD controls, not the arrow keys.
Most games also use emojis as visuals, for example an apple as food representation in the snake game.
## Features & Showcases:
This project includes:
- **Rock Paper Scissors**: Play the classic game against the computer.
- **Snake Game**: Play the classic snake game directly in the terminal.
- **Tic Tac Toe**: Play the classic Tic Tac Toe game directly in the terminal.
- **ASCII Art**: Display images converted to text-based art within the terminal.
Future Additions:
- **Connect Four**: Play the classic Connect Four game in the terminal.
- **Game of Life**: Explore Conway's Game of Life simulation in the terminal.
- **Pac Man**: Play a simplified version of Pac-Man in the terminal.
