Description

Build the classic Snake game with a twist: an AI-controlled snake competes against you for food.

Requirements

Classic snake mechanics: grow when eating food, die on wall/self collision

AI snake that pathfinds to food using A* or BFS

Both snakes compete for the same food items

Score tracking for both player and AI

Increasing difficulty: snakes speed up as they grow

Game over screen with replay option

Keyboard controls (WASD or arrow keys)

Use Canvas for rendering. Update game state on a fixed tick interval. AI pathfinding should avoid both snakes' bodies.

AI difficulty settings (easy: random, hard: A*)

Power-ups (speed boost, ghost mode, score multiplier)

2-player mode (WASD + arrows)

You will be guided through MCP setup before the timer starts
