Currently searching for Snake Game Tutorial in Python, and unexpectedly saw this newly uploaded!

Nice tutorial with interesting links (such as adding a SPACE-bar to pause/resuming game, or, an enemy). Thanks for posting, and no problems with the code.

Thanks this is what I wanted to do with python and I just needed to start with something easy

[mitchellbergman]

This was less of a "Tutorial", more of a "watch me type this code".. there were some common errors that could've been made, such as importing curses for me, which doesn't come with windows python, as well as the fact you can't run this with your IDE, you have to use the terminal, and if the terminal isn't opened to a proper size then you'll get errors. There was also no in-depth explanation of the logic

minute 16:35, you can do this:
if y in [0, 19]:
break
if x in [0, 59]:
break

If you are on windows and using pycharm. You need to install courses manually. You need to manually adjust the 'Terminal' size for the curses window.

I got this error File "c:/Users/hp/Desktop/Snake game.py", line 19
print(f''Final score = {score}'')

Would you consider making a tutorial on how to use tensorflow to create an ml program that can play snake?

[yamatowolfgang]

thanks for sharing! I understand this is much simplified for the tutorial purpose. but just want to point out that food loop gives me so much cringe.

[kaiye]

Very nice tutorial. Just a question. In the while key != ESC loop, why we only draw snake's head, win.addch(snake[0][0], snake[0][1], '*'? Why not draw the rest of snake body? It seems works fine.

[HeinEmil]

Sick, thanks for the tutorial. Will improve the code a little myself tho :D

[exe]

To be honest this helped me a lot thanks keep it up

[refaelnesterov]

hey, ive tried following your tutorial step by step, and it worked fine, but the code dosent detect any keys, if its the arrows or if its ESC.
i even tried copy pasting your code, and it didnt work as well.
im using Pycharm on Windows 10 Pro, how can i fix this?

This tutorial really need to be updated, I do agree with @Mithchell Bergman, this video seem catered to get more views then actually teaching about python.
