An amazing tutorial, very useful. But I was running into a problem detecting collision between the food and the snake.
This is my code:

# Update Function- updates the game
def update(self):
self.snake.update()


# Collisions / eating
def
if self.snake.body[0] == self.food.position:
self.food.position =

when the snake would "eat" the food it wouldnt do anything. the snake will just hover over the food and not eat it. pls help!!!

How can i downlaod the same image of food as yours?

[HalcGaming]

Hi. Very nice tutorial.
I noticed one thing. Lets say snake is moving to the right direction and if you press quickly down followed by left arrow then snake will change direction straight from right to left.
Curious how would you fix that bug ?

I first want to TYVM for this tutorial. But I can't seem to get a game over text to appear I have it defined like we did the title and score but when game_over() no text appears I was trying to write GAME OVER then under it PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE. also I tried to put some music so it not so quiet I got the music to play but it so loud you can;t hear the other 2 mp3's I tried the volume(0.1) but it did not seem to work it was still the same sound level as I never use that part of code
could you maybe do an extra chapter for this game with what I was trying to implement?

Hi. I am having position attribute error on line 17… food_rect o don’t understand where this error is coming from. Position is a reference to self.position =vector2 (5, 6)

[Darkomen]

So, new position of food is simply random? It's ok in the, lets say, first half of the game. But when snake will grow really long, what then? Imagine the situation when snake is 615 tiles long and there is only 10 free blocks. For how long program will hang on the function food.generate_random_pos? And it will be worse with each eaten food.
