SUMMARY
The issue of the snake not increasing in size after eating food was resolved by adding a CSS class to the snake element. The relevant code snippet used for updating the snake's position is snakeArr.unshift({ x: snakeArr[0].x + inputDir.x, y: snakeArr[0].y + inputDir.y }). The sound effects and food relocation functionalities were confirmed to be operational, although sound playback does not function on CodePen. The primary focus was on ensuring the visual representation of the snake was correctly updated through CSS.
