CPPND: Capstone Snake Game Battle Edition

This is the final Capstone Project in the Udacity C++ Nanodegree Program.

The project is a battle version for the classic snake game. There are 6 basic rules.

Rule 1: The snake that eats the food will grow in length, increase its score and speed.

Rule 2: The snake can move straight and diagonal.

Rule 2: The snake that has been hit by another snake will lose its body from the crashing point.

Rule 3: The part of body that has been cut will become food for the opponent.

Rule 4: The snake that hits itself loses the game.

Rule 5: The game is over if two snakes hit each other's head. The one with higher score wins the game.

Rule 6: Who gets the 20 score first will win the game.
