Snake Game using Ratatui

This module implements a terminal-based snake game using the Ratatui crate for rendering.

Features

• Terminal UI: Uses Ratatui for rendering a grid-based game.
• Game Logic: Manages snake movement, collisions, and scoring.
• Multithreading: Uses multiple threads for input handling, rendering at 60 FPS, and game logic execution.
• Emoji-based graphics: Supports rendering the snake using emojis instead of ASCII.
• Configurable parameters: With clap for command-line arguments.

TODO

• Add a save score (local db) with a pseudo got from cmdline
• Add some performance log with tracing for example
• Fix too much life display outside of screen

Architecture

• Uses RwLock for synchronization.
• Spawns separate threads for input handling, rendering (60Hz), and game logic execution.

Documentation generation

• cargo doc --document-private-items --no-deps --open

Tests

• As usual run them with cargo test the project is set up with a lib containing all the code, and a main.rs just calling it
• As this is a widespread pattern providing full compliance with the Rust test ecosystem, allowing doc comment to be automatically tested, for example.
