CODE WITH ME | Python Snake Game

[@CSJackie]

The silly game code is available on GitHub: github.com/carmensantos/snake-game Code CSJackie15 for 15% off Code Chrysalis' immersive coding course in Japan 🤩 p.s. please don't show this code to my boss

[@ukaszbaczek7266]

"Please, don't show this code to my boss." It would be worthwhile to rewrite this code in an object-oriented manner in the next episodes - it would be a great learning experience for the viewers and good material for a video or several videos.

I've been trying to learn coding and I wanted to program a snake game, but unfortunately when I use pre-built shared libraries from internet, it becomes a frog game :)

[@themichaelw]

1:34 You clearly haven't seen the spaghetti I'm able to produce in Java. Spaghetti code knows no boundaries; it transcends design patterns and exists in a higher dimension than we can never possibly understand.

[@CSJackie]

i laughed out loud at your comment

[@pawlkoech8541]

i loved watching you solve the problems and being happy when something works.

[@santiagoseijas9217]

It's really nice watching you doing some coding just for fun! I enjoyed the way you went through the problems since that is actual coding.

[@akshat9090]

Dude you're the coolest tutor I've got! The way you're explaining makes so much more easier at least for my understanding.♥

[@CSJackie]

Awesome, thank you so much!

[@perlhacker]

always nice to do snake in some language. Awesome that you made us watch you doing it. And im Happy that it's same "struggle" on you side as it was on mine, it's always good to do a little thing outside the box of the normal "work" related programming work. Nice video.

[@CSJackie]

haha for sure! thank you so much :)

[@TheTrienco]

In a weird way, Snake is a good starting point to think about common data structures. How do you represent it? A double linked list is the easiest (add new position to head and pop last position at the tail, skip the second step when eating a fruit). But it's not an efficient structure (chasing pointers to find the next element can be slow). An array would be better, but then you'd have to grow (possibly reallocate and copy) and shift (copying everything by one position). A ring buffer would be perfect, but they usually aren't meant to grow. It could be a fun exercise to see how much you can "over engineer" the problem for best performance (which is of course very silly and pointless for a Snake game, but something AAA devs will have to worry about).

[@Andy-il7kf]

This is great Thank you :) it really helps to see a professional going through the same process of finding mistakes, debugging etc and sticking at it until they get the project where they want it. It inspires me to keep going/learning when I get stuck on my owm stuff

[@CSJackie]

thank you so much :)

[@Andy-il7kf]

@CSJackie PS It would also be great to see how you approached this OO in python too, as a comparison

[@JohnBarratt2750]

I was born in 1963, so I was taught nothing whatsoever about computing at school . And only very superficially in Fortran at Uni. I am lost, watching this video, Jackie! But impressed.

[@CodeChrysalis]

Awesome Video! Really clever how you coded this Snake Game with another kind of snake! ;) Thank you so much for featuring us in the video, we look forward to working with you 🤝 Keep up the good work 💪

This is what I was looking for months! Just a ''code with me'' with simple exercises like a snake game! Please do more since since this helps so much people who wanna start coding but are stuck on the ''tutorial lane'''. What we are missing are projects and 'code with me' is perfect! Are you thinking about making a series of this? (Already Subscribed)

why you look so beautiful when wearing glasses?🥹 Edited :- Your coding thinking is so good btw great video ❤️

[@seanwcom]

Fun evening project, thanks for sharing! I was just looking at your generate_starting_position() function and I think the reason your snake and target were originally appearing offscreen is because you aren't taking Y into account. You're creating a position_range based on screen width (1280), then returning both a random X and Y coordinate that are based on the screen_width pixels. This is causing you get sometimes land outside the height which is only 720 pixels. A quick change to turn position_range into position_range_x and then create position_range_y based on screen_height. Then be sure to use both position_range_x and position_range_y in the return. Not sure if KZbin will format this weird or not, trying anyway: def generate_starting_position(): position_range_x = (pixel_width // 2, screen_width - pixel_width // 2, pixel_width) position_range_y = (pixel_width // 2, screen_height - pixel_width // 2, pixel_width) return [random.randrange(*position_range_x), random.randrange(*position_range_y)]

Thanks so much, I used this to get refreshed back into python, appreciated!

[@KojiKazama]

The thing that got me out of spaghetti code is Uncle Bob's - Clean Code lessons. Also I am a software engineer (well DevSecOps and automation) but I can't wait to spend the evenings coding games in Unity and watching programming videos like this. I'd love to see if someone checks out this code and adds sprites, I'm curious to see them in pygame.

[@thejannzer]

Please do more of this stuff... it helps me so much

[@Antal46]

I joined uni in London at 34, now doing my 2nd year of Computer Science. I just wish they were focusing more on practicing the actual useful skills and not just writing report, reference, academic style bla bla. You making some cool videos, giving me some ideas to be more efficient!

[@oreonengine9444]

I can remember, did this a my first university project, ASCII snake in the terminal haha, lots of fun :D

[@CSJackie]

it's so fun!! my comp sci colleagues said they also coded this at uni haha

[@matteoZattera]

Lol, I also coded snake in the terminal with C++ and I uploaded a video on my channel

[@alexeykhrapko401]

I expected to see usage of Sliding window algorithm for the snake cause it fits here perfectly. But that is a bit more advanced approach for this video.

[@serloinz]

from what i remember about programming the delay from your keyboard to the snake (where it feels like it's not responsive) it's probably from your tick rate ..clock.tick(10) ..as it's not polling the keyboard as often. 60 would feel more responsive but you would obviously have to find another way to slow down your snake. I could totally be wrong but that's what my instinct tells me it is :)

[@lancemarchetti8673]

Great upload! I'm definitely sending this to Matthew Berman.. he's gonna love it. He literally tested about 20 different LLMs, instructing them to create a simple snake game in py... and AI is still trying to get it right... lol.

[@bumbam123]

Oh that's funny. "I won't do object-oriented, I will do spahetti-code instead". There is a huge world of procedural programming, some years back it was the way to write code. Procedural code is still a big part of your operating system. Not being object-oriented is not inherently bad, it's a completely normal way of doing things done

[@CSJackie]

yes I like your point of view!

[@ShinigamiGrin]

@@CSJackieit’s a fact not just a pov, it’s how things work….

[@Shr11mp]

Yeah, I took that as a personal attack when she said that 😆 OO is 90% of the time doodoo. A blend of procedural and functional is the way to go with sooo many scenarios. I can’t remember the last time I wrote OO, probably did a little bit right out of college, but that’s about it.

[@rockinvegan1765]

[@Netryon]

One thing you wished to do is HTML CSS animating, because you know how easy is to move absolute square inline-block with arrows changing the x,y value as modern react/angular renders website not having to reload it or save and preload reinstalled graphics driver. Can build it, but from my experience I know must have that Laravel/symfony/.net core framework and don't spend your time on easy tasks already build by everybody else, which every empty youtube channel is obviously not and I can't paly it on fb.

[@pflagler]

The game is delayed in responding to your keyboard inputs because you lowered the framerate of your main loop to 10 FPS. If a keystroke happens between frames, the loop doesn't catch it. Instead, I would recommend setting the framerate back to 60 and limit the speed of your snake a different way, like only moving it once every 3 frames, for example. You can use a variable to modify the speed, which you would want to do if you plan to accommodate multiple difficulties.

[@CSJackie]

Ah makes sense, thanks so much!!

[@x12_79]

I feel like the input issue is caused by the low frame rate. You could try and increase the frame rate to 60 again but create a simple timer to tell the snake when it can move.

Yes I think that would be a great way of handling this!
