Hi, I get the below error. Possible reason?

File "snake.py", line 63
print('|', end='')
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Hi @Azeemsha

Try using python3

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#20>", line 1, in
place_fruit((ARRAY_SIZE // 2, ARRAY_SIZE // 2))
NameError: name 'place_fruit' is not defined

Can you help me please?

replace end = ' ' with "\n"
That should do the job for you.

what is the purpose of the test and print_field functions? they're not called and I'm just curious.

how do you move

I can't move it.....
so I changed your code little bit

-------------- your code ----------------

 while True:
        e = pygame.event.wait()
        if e.type == QUIT:
            pygame.quit()
        elif e.type == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
            if e.button == 3:
                direction = (direction+1) % 4
            elif e.button == 1:
                direction = (direction+3) % 4

        if not step(DIRS[direction]):
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit(1)

------------------ changed code --------------------------

while True:
        e = pygame.event.wait()                             
        if e.type == QUIT:                                                                  
            pygame.quit()                               
        
        elif e.type == KEYDOWN:
            key=pygame.key.get_pressed()
            
            if      key[pygame.K_UP]:     direction = 0
            elif    key[pygame.K_RIGHT]:    direction = 1
            elif    key[pygame.K_DOWN]:       direction = 2
            elif    key[pygame.K_LEFT]:     direction = 3

        #elif e.type == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:                     
        #    if e.button == 3:

        #        direction = (direction+3) % 4
    
        if not step(DIRS[direction]):                   
            pygame.quit()                          
            sys.exit()

When I try to run this program I get this error: ( The xxx's are stuff I deleted)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSnake Game.py", line 1, in
import pygame
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame'

Almost gave me cancer! nice logic but bad programmer

@Phineas2019
Open cmd and write "pip install pygame"

I can't move it.....
so I changed your code little bit

-------------- your code ----------------

 while True:
        e = pygame.event.wait()
        if e.type == QUIT:
            pygame.quit()
        elif e.type == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
            if e.button == 3:
                direction = (direction+1) % 4
            elif e.button == 1:
                direction = (direction+3) % 4

        if not step(DIRS[direction]):
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit(1)

------------------ changed code --------------------------

while True:
        e = pygame.event.wait()                             
        if e.type == QUIT:                                                                  
            pygame.quit()                               
        
        elif e.type == KEYDOWN:
            key=pygame.key.get_pressed()
            
            if      key[pygame.K_UP]:     direction = 0
            elif    key[pygame.K_RIGHT]:    direction = 1
            elif    key[pygame.K_DOWN]:       direction = 2
            elif    key[pygame.K_LEFT]:     direction = 3

        #elif e.type == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:                     
        #    if e.button == 3:                           
        #        direction = (direction+1) % 4      
        #    elif e.button == 1:                         
        #        direction = (direction+3) % 4
    
        if not step(DIRS[direction]):                   
            pygame.quit()                          
            sys.exit()                             

Plus you can add a test on the previous snake's direction to avoid accidental Game Over. The events should be as follows

while True:
        e = pygame.event.wait()
        if e.type == QUIT:
            pygame.quit()

        elif e.type == KEYDOWN:
            key=pygame.key.get_pressed()
            if      key[pygame.K_UP] and direction != 2:     direction = 0
            elif    key[pygame.K_RIGHT] and direction != 3:    direction = 1
            elif    key[pygame.K_DOWN] and direction != 0:       direction = 2
            elif    key[pygame.K_LEFT] and direction != 1:     direction = 3
        if not step(DIRS[direction]):
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit()

Please help me

@lleavelle You need to be a bit more specific, when I run your code I can play the game just fine and it only quits after I crash. What is happening for you?
