Prerequisites for Snake Game Using OpenCV<\/h3>\n
It is important to have a solid understanding of the Python programming language and the OpenCV library. Apart from this, you should have the following system requirements.<\/p>\n
1. Python 3.7 and above
\n2. Any Python editor (VS code, Pycharm, etc.)<\/p>\n
Download OpenCV Snake Game Project<\/h3>\n
Please download the source code of OpenCV Snake Game Project from the following link: OpenCV Snake Game Project Code.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Open windows cmd as administrator<\/p>\n 1. To install the opencv library run the command from the cmd.<\/p>\n To implement it follow the below step.<\/p>\n 1. First of all we are importing all the necessary libraries that are required during implementation.<\/p>\n 2. ‘screen_width’ and ‘screen_height’ are the size of the game window in pixels. ‘board_width’ and ‘board_height’ determine the number of squares or cells on the game board. The width has 20 cells and the height has 15 cells.<\/p>\n 3. ‘block_size’ is the size of each block on the game board, ‘score’ keeps track of the player’s score, and ‘white’, ‘black’, ‘red’, and ‘green’ are color codes used to set the colors of various elements on the game board.<\/p>\n 4. This code initializes a 2D image array called ‘screen’ with the dimensions of the game screen and sets its data type to np.uint8.<\/p>\n 5. These variables set up the starting position, length, and direction of the snake in the game, and also initialize an empty list to store the snake’s body position.<\/p>\n 6. This code creates a horizontal line of snake body segments with a length of ‘snake_length’, starting from the initial position of the snake. The positions of the segments are stored as tuples in the ‘snake_body’ list.<\/p>\n 7. These lines of code randomly generate the x and y coordinates for the food item on the game board within the limits of the board.<\/p>\n 8. Define the font that we will use for displaying text.<\/p>\n 9. Start the while loop.<\/p>\n 10. This sets the entire screen to the color black.<\/p>\n 11. This code draws the snake’s body using OpenCV by creating a line between the center coordinates of each block of the snake.<\/p>\n 12. This code displays the food as a yellow circle and the score as text on the game window using OpenCV. The cv2.circle() function is used to draw the food at the center coordinates, and the cv2.putText() function is used to display the score as text at a specific location on the screen.<\/p>\n 13. This code updates the position of the snake’s head based on its current direction by either increasing or decreasing the x or y coordinate of the head, depending on which direction the snake is moving.<\/p>\n 14. This code adds a new block representing the head of the snake to the front of the snake_body list, and then removes the oldest block from the end of the list if its length is greater than the current score, effectively maintaining the snake’s length based on its score.<\/p>\n 15. This code checks if the snake has eaten the food. If it has, then it increases the length of the snake by one block, updates the score by one, and generates a new random location for the food on the game board.<\/p>\n 16. This code checks if the snake is outside the game board. If it is, the game is over, and “Game Over” is displayed in the center of the screen. The program then waits for a key press, and the game ends.<\/p>\n 17. This code checks if the snake’s head collides with its body. If there is a collision, the game is over, and the text “Game Over” is displayed in the center of the screen. The program then waits for a short time and the loop is broken, ending the game.<\/p>\n 18. This line of code displays the current game screen in a window with the title “DataFlair” using the cv2.imshow() function from the OpenCV library.<\/p>\n 19. This code listens for keyboard input and updates the direction of a snake character in a game based on the key pressed. The ‘q’ key can be used to exit the game loop. The snake moves left, up, right, or down based on the ‘a’, ‘w’, ‘d’, or ‘s’ keys pressed respectively.<\/p>\nInstallation<\/h3>\n
