```colourfullWelcome @GideonAppiah!
Making a game heavily depends on what language you want to use to create it, which can vary greatly. Which language are you most familiar with? If you are not familiar with any, I’d recommend learning Python or JavaScript, which are easier languages to learn and have many good uses. If you do choose to learn Python, a module called Pygame or Turtle is a nice start to developing games.

Hello @GideonAppiah welcome to the forums!
First of all could you please format your post like how it is laid out? If your question is the title then I would recommend looking up on YouTube how to make a snake game. I hope this helps 
! If you find this helpful you can mark it as the solution.

@Darkoknight I wouldn’t recommend C++ necessarily especially if @GideonAppiah is a beginner, my teacher taught us how to code snake in Python 2 it was simple enough to understand as well.
Please, before sharing full solutions make sure this is not a school assignment.
@GideonAppiah is this snake game a school assignment or not? We need to know in order to help you in the right way.
okay sorry keep forgeting
Can you put that into a drop-down list? It kind of clogs up the page.
If you don’t know how to do it, this is how
<details>
<summary>what ever you want the drop-down to be named</summary>
Stuff that you want to say inside
</details>
The result would be this:
what ever you want the drop-down to be named
Stuff that you want to say insideOr you could use discourse’s one:
[details="Name of divider"]
Text in divider
[/details]
Becomes:
Name of divider
Text in divider
Yeah, that works too.
Hi @Darkoknight, like some other people have said, ensure that this is not for a school assignment to avoid giving all of the answers away. I’d also put this in a dropdown bar and use the preformatted text button to make your reply a lot nicer to read.
It’s called BBCode, but I think we’re getting a bit off-topic.
I’ll edit the post to format it with three backticks as that takes up much less space.
