A minimalist real-time snake-inspired console game written in C#, where the player moves to collect different types of food while the clock ticks. Simple controls, real-time updates, and power-up logic make it more than just a basic project.
🎮 Features Move with arrow keys to collect food.
Three types of food:
💣 Bomb: -10 seconds
🍕 Pizza: +5 seconds
💎 Gem: +15 seconds + speed boost
Color-coded player states.
Time-based gameplay with a live countdown.
Scoreboard display with dynamic updates.
Console window resize detection (auto exit on resize).
Clean UI with non-blocking keyboard input.
🧠 How It Works The player is rendered with a unique character (e.g., (^_^)).
Food spawns at a random location on the screen.
The timer counts down continuously.
The game ends if time runs out or the player exits manually.
