	}
};

function gameRules() {
    // Detect if the snake ate an apple
	if (GAME.detectCollisionBetween(snake, apple)) {
        // If true, then grow the snake
        GAME.growSnake();
        // Set a new location for the apple
		apple = GAME.setAppleInRandomLocation();
	}
};

GAME.draw(snake, apple);
