It's no good the snake just slithering around aimlessly! We need to randomly give the snake some food and get a score from it.

Slow the snake down, possibly with the main loop, millis or cycle counting and leave open the possibility of velocity increasing.

I'm not sure there is a way to detect if a button is being held down because getting the pressure gives too many zero values that it will just jump out of a loop the first chance it gets.
What I could do is have a function that is polled that takes a sample size of pressure values, takes the average and if it's greater than a given value then we know the screen is being held, shouldnt be too hard

Possibly limit of the movement of snake to X amount of pixels because then it can line up with food making turns a little more user-friendly. The only thing is the game wouldn't look as smooth, so it's a compromise and will probably need to be branched to compare how the two look.

Use the four sides of the screen as an input for movement of the snake head. Let's just ignore velocity for now though to make things a little easier. The snake should probably go slower for now though.
