## Resolved Issues
1. Menu Interaction
- Issue: Menu items not responding to clicks
- Solution: Added proper mouse click event handling in game loop
- Solution: Fixed menu item highlighting and selection state
2. Snake Movement
- Issue: Rapid direction changes causing self-collision
- Issue: Missed inputs during quick turns
- Solution: Implemented input buffer system
- Solution: Process one direction change per grid movement
- Solution: Store up to 2 pending direction changes
## Next Steps
1. Implement AI snake movement
- Set up ML training environment
- Create neural network architecture
- Train initial model
2. Add high score system
- Implement score persistence
- Add high score display
3. Add visual and sound effects
- Implement basic animations
- Add game sounds
## Known Issues
- None reported
## Future Considerations
- Multiplayer support
- Additional game modes
- Custom themes/skins
- Achievement system
