Snake-vs-Block

A snake vs Block Game written in Python3 using PySDL2 module and sdl2 extensions (sdl2.ext module) for Python3.

Getting Started

Clone the project into your pc. Open in terminal

Some parameters like window height, width, frame rate, snake orbs radius etc can be changed by changing the respective parameters in src/gameinfo.py

Note that some changes may cause the game to misbehave

All the changes are not flexible

Prerequisites

This game requires Python3 along with the PySDL2 modules installed on your system. To install Python3, enter the command

sudo apt-get install python3 sudo apt-get install python3-pip

After that, you should install PySDL2 module which is a SDL2 wrapper for Python. Enter the following command in terminal

pip3 install pysdl2

Try importing sdl2 library using python3 interpreter to see if it works. If it doesn't work, then set the path to the sdl2 directory in the PYSDL2_DLL_PATH variable. It can be done by

import os
os.environ["PYSDL2_DLL_PATH"] = "path/to/sdl2/directry"

Setting up the game and running

You may start the game by hitting

python3 snake

but instead of typing python3, you can start it by just typing ./snake by following steps.

Type which python3 on terminal. This would give you the path where python3 executable is stored. Use that path instead of the default path in the src/snake file. The path may differ from pc to pc thus, this customisation is necessary.

Then type following command to run

./snake

For help and command line options, Type

./snake -h

./snake --help
