online snake game

Job Description:

ok so I am learning to code some old school C code to make a game that is cross platform and can be played over the network

I am trying to split the game up into header files and functions and definitions into other c files

snake.c

game.c

game.h

I have come across these errors and it will not compile but the issue here is the issues are not correct.

for example chatGPT reveals this issue:

It seems that you have used the incorrect name for the number of columns in the terminal window. The correct name is COLS instead of ROWS. You can resolve the error by changing the following line:

Copy code

if (next.x < 0 || next.x >= COLS || next.y < 0 || next.y >= ROWS) {

to

Copy code

if (next.x < 0 || next.x >= COLS || next.y < 0 || next.y >= ROWS) {
