There's one bug that I fixed.When your snake is moving, the user is not allowed to press the opposite key. So like when your snake is moving right, the user is not allowed to press the left key. But in this game, when your snake is moving right and your press the left key the game ends. So to fix that you can create this dictionary: oppo = {curses.KEY_RIGHT: curses.KEY_LEFT, curses.KEY_LEFT: curses.KEY_RIGHT,
curses.KEY_UP: curses.KEY_DOWN, curses.KEY_DOWN: curses.KEY_UP} . Then before you change the direction to the key you have to check: if direction != oppo[key]. This way nothing happens if you press the opposite key of the snake's direction.

You saved my day! I was looking for a way to capture keyboard strokes, without stopping my Python program.
Thanks for your clear explanation of curses.

Thank you very much for the tutorial! For some reason, my game over message won't stay on screen. Instead, it flashes for a second and then takes me back to my terminal, rather than waiting for me to press a key. Is there a way around this?

How do you get curses to run properly in Sublime? It says it cannot find a terminal in the error. Do I have an installation missing?
