Snack Game using Turtle

Creating a snack game using the Python Turtle module can be a fun project. This game will involve controlling a snake that moves around the screen, eating snacks (food) to grow longer. Here’s a basic implementation of the game:

Install Python Turtle: Ensure you have Python installed. The Turtle module comes with Python's standard library, so you don't need to install anything extra.

1 . Create the Game:

• Set up the screen.
• Create the snake.
• Define the food.
• Control the snake.
• Detect collisions with food and borders.

Here's a step-by-step code to create a simple snack (snake) game:

import turtle import time import random delay = 0.1 score = 0 high_score = 0 # Set up the screen wn = turtle.Screen() wn.title("Snake Game") wn.bgcolor("black") wn.setup(width=600, height=600) wn.tracer(0) # Turns off the screen updates # Snake head head = turtle.Turtle() head.shape("square") head.color("white") head.penup() head.goto(0, 0) head.direction = "stop" # Snake food food = turtle.Turtle() food.speed(0) food.shape("circle") food.color("red") food.penup() food.goto(0, 100) segments = [] # Score display pen = turtle.Turtle() pen.speed(0) pen.color("white") pen.penup() pen.hideturtle() pen.goto(0, 260) pen.write("Score: 0 High Score: 0", align="center", font=("Courier", 24, "normal")) # Functions def go_up(): if head.direction != "down": head.direction = "up" def go_down(): if head.direction != "up": head.direction = "down" def go_left(): if head.direction != "right": head.direction = "left" def go_right(): if head.direction != "left": head.direction = "right" def move(): if head.direction == "up": y = head.ycor() head.sety(y + 20) if head.direction == "down": y = head.ycor() head.sety(y - 20) if head.direction == "left": x = head.xcor() head.setx(x - 20) if head.direction == "right": x = head.xcor() head.setx(x + 20) # Keyboard bindings wn.listen() wn.onkey(go_up, "w") wn.onkey(go_down, "s") wn.onkey(go_left, "a") wn.onkey(go_right, "d") # Main game loop while True: wn.update() # Check for a collision with the border if head.xcor() > 290 or head.xcor() < -290 or head.ycor() > 290 or head.ycor() < -290: time.sleep(1) head.goto(0, 0) head.direction = "stop" # Hide the segments for segment in segments: segment.goto(1000, 1000) segments.clear() # Reset the score score = 0 pen.clear() pen.write("Score: {} High Score: {}".format(score, high_score), align="center", font=("Courier", 24, "normal")) # Check for a collision with the food if head.distance(food) < 20: # Move the food to a random spot x = random.randint(-290, 290) y = random.randint(-290, 290) food.goto(x, y) # Add a segment new_segment = turtle.Turtle() new_segment.speed(0) new_segment.shape("square") new_segment.color("grey") new_segment.penup() segments.append(new_segment) # Shorten the delay delay -= 0.001 # Increase the score score += 10 if score > high_score: high_score = score pen.clear() pen.write("Score: {} High Score: {}".format(score, high_score), align="center", font=("Courier", 24, "normal")) # Move the end segments first in reverse order for index in range(len(segments) - 1, 0, -1): x = segments[index - 1].xcor() y = segments[index - 1].ycor() segments[index].goto(x, y) # Move segment 0 to where the head is if len(segments) > 0: x = head.xcor() y = head.ycor() segments[0].goto(x, y) move() # Check for head collision with body segments for segment in segments: if segment.distance(head) < 20: time.sleep(1) head.goto(0, 0) head.direction = "stop" # Hide the segments for segment in segments: segment.goto(1000, 1000) segments.clear() # Reset the score score = 0 pen.clear() pen.write("Score: {} High Score: {}".format(score, high_score), align="center", font=("Courier", 24, "normal")) time.sleep(delay) wn.mainloop()

Explanation:

• Screen Setup: Creates a window for the game with a black background.
• Snake Head: Represents the head of the snake.
• Food: Represents the food the snake eats.
• Move Function: Handles the movement of the snake.
• Keyboard Bindings: Maps the keys to control the snake.
• Collision Detection: Checks for collisions with the screen borders and food, handling the growth of the snake and the end of the game if it hits the borders.

Feel free to modify and expand this game to add more features or improve the graphics. Have fun coding!
