Introduction
In the previous lesson, we created the snake and the board for our game. However, a stationary snake is of no use. Let us now move to the next step in building the game. We will add a movement to the snake. When the game loads, we would by default set the snake to move horizontally to the right on the screen. Later on, we will add keyboard movements to the game. You can see in the below output that the snake moves in the right-hand direction.
