I apologize for the confusion. You're right, it's better to see the entire component with the new changes. Here's the complete, updated SnakeGame component:

This updated version includes:

1. The corrected getSnakeSegmentRotation function that should now handle all corner cases correctly.
2. The snake starts with a length of 3 segments.
3. The cell size is set to 24x24 pixels.
4. All other game logic remains the same, including movement, apple generation, and game over conditions.

This implementation should now correctly render the snake with proper rotations for all segments in all possible movement scenarios, including the problematic cases you mentioned earlier. The game should be fully functional with the snake properly displayed at all times.

You're absolutely right, and I'm glad we've made progress! The head rotation issue is indeed caused by the immediate rotation on input. Let's modify the code to delay the head rotation until the next movement step. This will ensure that the head stays connected to the body during turns.

Here's the updated SnakeGame component with this fix:

Key changes:

1. Added a new state variable nextDirection to store the upcoming direction change.
2. Modified the handleKeyPress function to update nextDirection instead of direction.

3. Updated the moveSnake function to:

   • Set the current direction to nextDirection at the beginning of each move.
   • Use nextDirection for calculating the new head position.

These changes ensure that:

• The head rotation is delayed until the next movement step.
• The snake's body remains connected during turns.
• The player's input is still responsive, as the next direction is stored immediately.

This implementation should resolve the head disconnection issue while maintaining smooth gameplay. The snake's head will now rotate in sync with its body movement, creating a more visually coherent motion.
