3 years ago Perhaps you might be interested in my new branch https://github.com/ChrisIdema/python-fun/tree/wide_mode . I've added some interesting features:
- added wide mode option to correct for the fact that the font's height is often almost double its width by adding spaces between "blocks"
- replaced top and bottom window borders with underscore and overline so their margins match side margins more closely. Especially the bottom margin was really annoying as it looked like the snake could drop one more line. I used an extended ascii character for the overline character, so that might not be supported by all terminals.
Might be too much bloat for such a simple project so I didn't create a pull request, but for me it is definitely more playable this way. By replacing the curses functions I was able to get it to run on micropython with a led matrix display too.
removed magic numbers and changed initial positions of snake and food to allow smaller widths and heights
