Follow along as we rebuild the classic Snake game but with a retro twist. In this series we're coding Snake Rewind from scratch in C using Raylib, layering on everything from pixel perfect visuals to clone enemies, cinematic shaders and juicy arcade feedback.

💀 In Episode 5 of *Snake Rewind* the game gets serious. We complete the core gameplay loop by adding *collision detection*, *game over logic* and a clean *restart game system*. 🎮 What we cover: - Detecting self collision and clone collisions - Freezing player input and showing a game over message - Letting clones keep moving after you die (for style) - Adding a restart prompt and resetting the game cleanly - Game Over overlay animation (scale and shake) Now every food pickup brings risk. Every past movement is a possible trap. 📺 Full Snake Rewind Series Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI7p1zrAYQeUb67kPtsyduLk1aJChzIQZ 📖 Companion Blog Post: https://letsreinventthewheel.github.io/blog/snake-rewind-ep5/ 🧠 Source code: https://github.com/letsreinventthewheel/snake-rewind Snake Rewind isn't just a remake.
