The discussion centers around a code snippet for a snake game, specifically addressing the functionality of increasing the snake's size upon colliding with food. The provided code successfully updates the snake's position and triggers sound effects when food is consumed, although sound may not function on CodePen. The main issue identified was the absence of a CSS class for the snake, which has since been resolved. The conversation emphasizes the importance of ensuring all necessary elements, including CSS, are in place for the game to function correctly.

TL;DR
snake not increasing after eating food.

Here's the full code.
JavaScript:
snakeArr.unshift({ x: snakeArr[0].x + inputDir.x, y: snakeArr[0].y + inputDir.y })
This is the code to increase the size of snake once it collides with food.
The code above it and below it, sound play when food is eaten and changing food location when food is eaten are working(sound play won't work on codepen).
What's the problem. Please help to fix the issue and understand it as well.
