Snake Game Using Python
Abstract
Snake Game is a classic arcade game. The player’s main goal in this game is to catch as many fruits as possible without hitting the wall or himself. While learning Python or Pygame, making a snake game can be a fun challenge. It’s one of the best new player projects that every new programmer should try. Learning to make a video game is an interesting and enjoyable experience.This snake game will be made with Pygame. Pygame is a free and open-source library for creating video games. It includes graphics and sound libraries.
In this article we will be developing a snake game using python and tkinter game and also form scratch with scores.
Code Description & Execution
Programming Methodology
In this code, we will import pygame module. This game has a snake that is constantly moving. The player must prevent the snake from hitting walls or colliding with himself. The played snake can be controlled with the right, left, down and up keys. Snakes now start in the right direction by default. There are no objects labelled “food” on the screen. Every time the snake hits the bait, the bait disappears and the snake’s body grows. There is a score for each successful snake collision with food. These activities are done with functions.
How to Execute?
Note: Make sure you have added path while installing the software’s.

- Install the prerequisites/software’s required to execute the code from reading the above blog which is provided in the link above.
- Press windows key and type in anaconda prompt a terminal opens up.
- Go to the directory where your requirement.txt file is present, not just requirement.txt, if you want to execute any .py or .ipynb files, you need to go to that specific folder or path, where they are saved.
4.<<directory of your file:>>. E.g., If my file is in d drive, then
5.Type d:
- cd d:\License-Plate-Recognition-main #CHANGE PATH AS PER YOUR PROJECT, THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE
7. If your project is in c drive, you can ignore step 4 and go with step 5
8. Run pip install -r requirements.txt or conda install requirements.txt (Requirements.txt is a text file consisting of all the necessary libraries required for executing this python file. If it gives any error while installing libraries, you might need to install them individually.), example: pip install “module_name” i.e., pip install pandas
9. If you would like to run .ipynb file, Please follow the link to setup and open jupyter notebook, You will be redirected to the local server there you can select which ever .ipynb file you’d like to run and click on it and execute each cell one by one by pressing shift+enter.
Note: There are 4 different files each seeves different purpose such as,
- ipynb consists of all the data cleaning steps, which are necessary to build a clean and efficient model.
- ipynb consist of major steps and exploratory data analysis which allow us to understand more about the data and behavior of it.
- ipynb consists of data reduction/dimensionality reduction techniques such as Sequential feature selector method to reduce the dimensions in the data and compare the model scores before and after dimensionality reduction.
- ipynb consists of combination of main.ipynb and variable_selection.ipynb to make it more clear and understable for the audience.
Please follow the above sequence if you would like to execute and the files require good system requirements to run.
Results
Issues Faced
- We might face an issue while installing specific libraries, in this case, you might need to install the libraires manually. Example: pip install “module_name/library” i.e., pip install wikipedia
- Make sure you have the latest or specific version of python, since sometimes it might cause version mismatch.
- Adding path to environment variables in order to run python files and anaconda environment in code editor, specifically in any code editor.
- Make sure to change the paths in the codeaccordingly where your music file and VS code is saved.
