Show HN: Play snake on your razer keybard on Linux

A Python implementation of the classic Snake game that runs directly on your Razer keyboard's RGB lighting.

The snake appears as green lights moving across your keyboard, while the fruit glows red. Each time you eat fruit, your snake grows longer

• Hardware: Razer keyboard with RGB lighting (tested on Razer Ornata Chroma)
• OS: Linux (required for OpenRazer drivers)
• Python: 3.6 or higher
• Dependencies:
  • OpenRazer drivers
  • Python curses library (usually pre-installed on Linux)

Follow the official OpenRazer installation guide for your Linux distribution.

Note: You'll need to log out and back in for group changes to take effect.

Run the game with:

• Arrow Keys: Move the snake (↑ ↓ ← →)
• Delete Key: Quit the game

Tested on:

• ✅ Razer Ornata Chroma

Should work on any Razer keyboard with:
