One of most popular all time games - The Snake, represented in console view by C++.
In this game player manages the snake. In order to score as many points snake must eat food as long until player bumps into wall or tail. But it isn't easy, because snake is fast and angry. So, player, be careful and good luck! Shh...

Before game, please, enable CapsLock key and True Type font in console for right representation of game.
I divide the field into four parts, following the coordinates X, Y:
When the snake is moving across the field a special function determines the location of the head and tail of a snake using coordinates X, Y. X and Y take negative or positive value in depending snake location. This is same way for food.
The maximum value of X and Y determined by the size of horizontal walls for X and vertical walls for Y.
For normal mode:
When the snake passes through the wall X and Y are taking the opposite value of coordinates and the snake will be back out from the opposite wall.
For hard mode:
When the snake hits in the wall of the X and Y values do not take the opposite position and the game ends.
When the coordinate of snake's head and coordinate of food are match it's meaning that the snake ate the food. When snake eats food score counter increases by 10 points and the snake is longer by 1.
The game is implemented through the cycle, so any change playing field is always redrawn till the game ends. So it is not performance idea and it has many flaws, but this is the console. And it demonstrates main ability of C++ - this is really fast.
