## Overview

This repository appears to implement a terminal Snake game using ncurses. The visible interaction surface is GameWindow: it reads and maps keyboard input, draws game objects, and refreshes the terminal. The tree also identifies game, map, snake, configuration, and shared-model modules, but their implementation and wiring were not excerpted; their relationships are therefore omitted. The shown GameWindow code establishes its dependencies on the shared types and clock, though the SOURCE INDEX does not reveal the broader game loop.

Main entry points: [`GameWindow.cpp`](https://github.com/abhijeetadarsh/sssnake/blob/master/GameWindow.cpp) (Game window), [`ClockGuard.cpp`](https://github.com/abhijeetadarsh/sssnake/blob/master/ClockGuard.cpp) (Clock guard), [`Input.cpp`](https://github.com/abhijeetadarsh/sssnake/blob/master/Input.cpp) (Input types), [`Coordinate.cpp`](https://github.com/abhijeetadarsh/sssnake/blob/master/Coordinate.cpp) (Coordinate)
