Nice game, you can create classes for the snake body, scoreboard, food and maybe wall. Then the code will be more structured :)

Claro, eu posso te ajudar com isso. O que você gostaria de fazer? Você pode me dar mais detalhes sobre o seu aplicativo?

Gerar um código para aplicativo de jogo da cobrinha

Claro, aqui está um código para um aplicativo de jogo da cobrinha em Python:

Python
import pygame

Define as dimensões da tela

WIDTH = 400
HEIGHT = 400

Cria uma janela pygame

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH, HEIGHT))

Define as cores

BLACK = (0, 0, 0)
WHITE = (255, 255, 255)
RED = (255, 0, 0)

Cria a cobra

snake = pygame.Rect(10, 10, 10, 10)
snake_color = RED

Cria a comida

food = pygame.Rect(300, 300, 10, 10)
food_color = WHITE

Inicia o contador de pontos

score = 0

Inicia o loop do jogo

running = True
while running:

# Limpa a tela
screen.fill(BLACK)

# Desenha a cobra
pygame.draw.rect(screen, snake_color, snake)

# Desenha a comida
pygame.draw.rect(screen, food_color, food)

# Checa se a cobra comeu a comida
if snake.colliderect(food):
    score += 1
    food.x = random.randint(10, WIDTH - 10)
    food.y = random.randint(10, HEIGHT - 10)

# Checa se a cobra colidiu com a si mesma ou com as bordas da tela
for i in range(1, len(snake)):
    if snake[0].colliderect(snake[i]):
        running = False
        break

if snake.x < 0 or snake.x > WIDTH or snake.y < 0 or snake.y > HEIGHT:
    running = False
    break

# Atualiza a posição da cobra
snake[0].x += snake_direction[0]
snake[0].y += snake_direction[1]

# Remove o último bloco da cobra
snake.pop()

# Adiciona um novo bloco na cabeça da cobra
snake.insert(0, pygame.Rect(snake[0].x, snake[0].y, 10, 10))

# Atualiza a tela
pygame.display.update()

# Checa se o usuário pressionou o botão de fechar
for event in pygame.event.get():
    if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
        running = False

Finaliza o pygame

pygame.quit()
