Line of sight worked well with snake, exemplifying the sense of claustrophobia.
The changing snake corner sprites added a nice feel of fluidity.
My scene management was easily expandable however having each scene in seperate classes would’ve made it much cleaner.
My menu scene was nicely organised.

A lot of the snake/body interaction could have been handled far better if there were a dedicated snake class that interacted with the head and body
The corners were heavily unoptimised by changing sprite texture each update, a better method could’ve been having different sprites that are rendered depending on situation.
Line of sight was jarring at times, although this is expected.

Class inheritance provides a nice default class system.
Vectors are useful for adjustable arrays of instantiated body parts
Having more classes dedicated as managers can be useful as an expandable, modular structure.
