Tick off requirements as you build to track real-time completion.
Follow this chronological guide to build the project from scratch.
Initialize Pygame, configure game settings (colors, dimensions), set up a 600x600 display, and run the basic infinite game loop.
import pygame
import sys
pygame.init()
WIDTH, HEIGHT = 600, 600
GRID_SIZE = 20
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH, HEIGHT))
pygame.display.set_caption("Arcade Snake")
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
running = True
while running:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = False
screen.fill((15, 23, 42)) # Sleek dark background
pygame.display.flip()
clock.tick(10) # 10 Frames Per Second
pygame.quit()
