Razer Keyboard Snake

Razer Keyboard Snake is a Python-based implementation of the classic Snake game, uniquely designed to utilize the RGB lighting features of Razer keyboards. This script transforms your keyboard into a vibrant gaming display, where the snake is represented by green lights that navigate the keys, while red fruits appear as targets to increase the snake's length with every fruit consumed.

Key Features

• Hardware: A Razer keyboard with RGB lighting (tested on Razer Ornata Chroma).
• Operating System: Linux (necessary for OpenRazer driver compatibility).
• Python: Version 3.6 or greater.
• Dependencies:
  • OpenRazer drivers
  • Python curses library (usually comes pre-installed on Linux).

Compatibility

This game has been tested on the Razer Ornata Chroma keyboard and is expected to work with any Razer keyboard that supports RGB matrix capabilities and is compatible with the OpenRazer drivers. For more details, refer to the OpenRazer device support list.

Troubleshooting
