Building a Classic Snake Game

Losing Condition

Game Over

When the snake collides with its own body or any other obstacle, it signals the end of the game. The game_over() method is invoked to conclude the current game session. To implement this we will simply use our running attribute and set it to false and then reset the game.

Resetting the Game

After the game ends it's essential to reset the game state for another round. The reset() method restores the game's initial conditions and prepares it for a fresh start:

copy

Note

Basically, we just stick with the default values provided in the __init__() functions of the game, snake, and fruit classes.
