🐍 Devlog #4 – Save System + Progress Update
This update added a full save system to my Snake game, so now the game remembers your progress even after you close it.
💾 What I added

.A save system using JSON files

Automatic saving during gameplay (mid-game autosave)
Saving when:

.You eat food

.You hit game over

.You quit the game

.A working high score system

.Game state saving (snake position, direction, and food position)

🔄 What changed
Now the game doesn’t reset every time you open it. Instead, it loads your last session from a file called save.json.
That means:

.You can close the game anytime

.Open it again and continue where you left off

.Your high score stays saved permanently

⚙️ How it works
The game stores all important data:

.Score

.High score

.Snake body positions

.Direction

.Food location

This data is written into a file using Python’s json module and reloaded when the game starts.
🎮 Result
The game now feels much more like a real game instead of a restart-every-time project. Progress is saved automatically and reliably.
🚧 Next steps
In the next update, I want to improve the game by adding:

.A main menu (Start / Continue / Quit)
.Better visuals or animations
.Possibly sound effects
.Cleaner restart system
