# Tutorial
1. Get the parts, install [Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software), install drivers for Arduino (if you have Arduino clone AND you are using Windows)
2. Copy-paste [the code](https://github.com/ondt/arduino-snake/blob/master/Snake.ino) into Arduino IDE
3. Install the `LedControl` library using Arduino IDE [Library Manager](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries#toc2)
4. Wire everything up _(see the Wiring Diagram)_
5. Connect your Arduino and select it in `Tools > Board` and `Tools > Port`
6. Upload
7. _(optional)_ Tweak the variables, explore the code :wink:
