SnakeFX

A Snake Game made with JavaFX.

I made this game to try out JavaFX and as a personal challenge at the end of my first year in computer science in 2016. It became a big project that helped me learn a bunch. Feels a little late to put this project here but better late than never. It is not completed but it is enough.
