snake-pygame's Issues

list index out of range

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\Python\Snake1\main.py", line 110, in
pygame.draw.rect(game_window, green, pygame.Rect(pos[0], pos[1], 10, 10))
IndexError: list index out of range

Too fast, less colors

Slow down the game by adding a button/ key that can do it for you

The user experience can be enhanced by adding more visuals and starting the game after the user is ready to play.
Also The snake can have a better color scheme.

Maybe when the snake eats an apple; you can make it so that the colour added is randomized or within a specified range which can spice things up. You can try it with the random library:

r,g,b=random.randint(0,255),random.randint(0,255),random.randint(0,255)
#try placing this line ^ in many areas just to see what kind of colors pop up

for pos in snake_body:
# Snake body
# .draw.rect(play_surface, color, xy-coordinate)
# xy-coordinate -> .Rect(x, y, size_x, size_y)
pygame.draw.rect(game_window, (r,g,b), pygame.Rect(pos[0], pos[1], 10, 10))

You can also add Game screens like a main menu or a pause menu and so on

I have made a similar project too, Check it out if you want :)
