Learning pygame by creating Snake [python tutorial]

A tutorial to teach you the fundamentals of pygame by creating the classic snake game. It is designed for absolute beginners, so you don't need to know any pygame; but you would need knowledge of basic python. But besides that, the project should be useful to understand a slightly more complex project, how to use python classes and how to create a basic game in general.

Hope you enjoy :)

Slight correction at 0:03:12 the text at the bottom is supposed to say python 3.9 not pygame 3.9

If anyone is new here and gets stuck around the 40min mark returning an attribute error. Try adding a double underscore before and after __init__. I just learnt a lesson that I'll now never forget! haha

I just found out your stuff. I was blown away by the amount of detail and effort you put into your videos! Your channel seems golden! Can’t wait to watch all your python game-developing related videos. Keep up with those awesome simple projects! 😎

This was by far the most helpful python tutorial I have ever watched! Every single detail was explained super precisely and yet so easily at the same time! Thank you so so much!

This is a great tutorial even without having a solid understanding of python classes, I am still able to comprehend this a bit.

I can't imagine how I've could have invested the last 2-ish hours better than following your video and code along. Thank you so much for your fantastic work! :)

A tip for adding the snake tail: append a Vector off screen. This will become the last part of the snake, and will be the part that the move function deletes, keeping the old tail, and making it look like a part was added.

This is the best tutorial I found so far to this topic. (and the prettiest one. :D) Every line is explained in more detail than all others tutorial I watched. You Sir, did a great Job! I felt like I was able to understand everything!

[RohanKumar-zdpc]

Amazing, It is explained in a very detailed way
Of all the logic from the setup to finishing

Thank you so much! You helped me create my first game ever.
I even added things like out-of-bound wrapping check for when the snake goes outside of the grid and tail cut for when the head intercepts the body

I found a lot of snake-game-tutorials, but I think, this is really the best one .
