As of now, if you try to eat the food by navigating the Snake to pass through the food, nothing happens. The food does not go away and the Snake is not affected either. That’s exactly the voids that you are going to fill in this episode.

void drawFood() {
    if (foodPosition == null) {
      foodPosition = getRandomPositionWithinRange();
    }

    // Add this
    if (foodPosition == positions[0]) {
      // Snake and food overlap
    }

    ...
  }
void drawFood() {
    ...
    if (foodPosition == positions[0]) {
        length++;
        speed = speed + 0.25;
        changeSpeed();
    }
    ...
