Create a class called Block, give it the properties and methods it needs and use it in your program.

ok then..but what should i use to create that block??is it i have to have a picture of the block and call it in the coding??then how to make it game over when the snake crash on it??

The Block class could show an image or it could just use the fillRect method to make a solid color for its contents.
Somewhere in your code there would need to be code that detected where the snake and the block were placed to determine when a crash occurred.

The block class could have a getBounds method that returns a rectangle, the get the bounds of the snake and use if(snake.intersects(BLOCK.getBounds()){} etc...
to check if the snake hits the block.
