Thank you for the code! The snake game was amazing.

I think you're commenting to the wrong person, just saying

Wdym it works

arrow keys are not working in ubuntu how to play the game

The game uses w, a, s, d. Make sure caps lock is off. Also make sure you click inside the window after running so it has focus.

…
