\subsection*{The Problem}
Almost everyone nowadays relies on a computer as a multipurpose tool for research, video streaming, gaming and many other tasks. With the emergence of fast computing, gaming has become a popular pastime activity and a source of entertainment for many. However, not everyone has a device powerful enough to support extensive game applications. Using a web platform allows the Snake game to be accessible for gamers without the need for extensive hardware or a high-performance computer. Our team, VUA30, will be creating a web application for the well-known “Snake” game with new enhancements and features. This competitive and addictive game can allow the user to play at their own pace and challenge their friends’ high score.

With the emergence of fast computing, gaming has become a popular pastime activity and a source of entertainment for many. However, not everyone has a device powerful enough to support extensive game applications. A simple, memory effecient application of the Snake game allows it to be accessible for gamers without the need for extensive hardware or a high-performance computer. Our team, VUA30, will be creating a desktop application for the well-known Snake game with new enhancements and features. This competitive and addictive game can allow the user to play at their own pace and challenge their own high score.
\subsection*{Importance of the Problem}
Nowadays, buying a computing device with such a high storage and faster performance can be out of the budget. Complicated software such as operating system, FaceTime and Movies covers up all the storage and the user is bound to use them which can get boring at times. The importance of the redevelopment of “The Snake” is to save computing device’s personal storage and allow the user to play a game 24/7 with strong performance. The recreation of this game will allow the user to enjoy the classical game anytime and anywhere as long as they have internet access. Improving aspects such as graphics and custom speed will also make the game more interesting. We would like to add more features to the game to make it more customizable and help people enjoy the classical game in an exciting and new way.

Since the software environment is a web application, there are many opportunities for integrating different API's with the snake game to add on to the redevelopment of the game.
