# Snake Battle

Play **Snake** with two players

**THIS GAME IS ALSO PLAYABLE ON A RASPBERRY PI USING GPIO INPUTS!**

## Python and Requirements Installation

### Windows

- Download the latest Python 2 release from [here](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/)

- Run the installer (make sure to include *pip*)

- Open `cmd.exe` as administrator and install the required packages by running `pip2 install ` or `python2 -m pip install `

### Linux

- Install Python 2 using your package manager

- Open a terminal and install the required packages by running `sudo pip2 install `

## Required Python Packages

- [`pygame`](https://www.pygame.org)

- [`RPi.GPIO`](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/RPi.GPIO) (only when used on a Raspberry Pi)

## Setup Font

Before starting the game go to line *68* and *69* and change `None` to the path of a font file. If you don't specify a font Pygame will choose a default one.

I recommend using [VT323 by Peter Hull](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/VT323 "Google Fonts")

### Example

    FONT_DB = pygame.font.Font("VT232.ttf", 20) # debug font

    FONT_SC = pygame.font.Font("VT232.ttf", TILE_SIZE * 5) # score

**Note: You should use an absolute path if you do not run the game from inside the directory**

## Start Game

Open a terminal / cmd.exe and navigate to this folder then run

    python2 snakebattle.py

The game is tested with **Python v2.7**, feel free to use any other compatible version

## Play Game

- Player 1:

  - Turn left: `A`

  - Turn right: `D`

- Player 2:

  - Turn left: `LEFT ARROW`

  - Turn right: `RIGHT ARROW`

- Collect food to grow

- You will lose if you touch your opponent or the window borders

- If both players "lose" at once the longer snake will win

## Command Line Arguments

`$ python2 snakebattle.py --help`

    usage: snakebattle.py [-h] [-r] [-s PX] [-t X Y] [-d] [-f TPS] [-b MS]

    optional arguments:

      -h, --help            show this help message and exit

      -r, --raspi           run snake battle on a raspberry pi

      -s PX, --tilesize PX  the size of a tile

      -t X Y, --tiles X Y   the number of tiles

      -d, --debug           show debug information on the screen

      -f TPS, --fps TPS     framerate in ticks per second

      -b MS, --delay MS     button delay (raspi mode)

## Raspberry Pi Mode (`--raspi`)

Connect buttons to the following GPIO pins (BCM numbering)

- Player 1 Left: **25**

- Player 1 Right: **24**

- Player 2 Left: **23**

- Player 2 Right: **18**

Alternatively, you can use other pins and change the pin numbers on lines *23 - 26*.
