This is a simple snake game. The purpose of this was to create a game I can use for reinforcement learning, see https://github.com/lukasturcani/dnn, but the game can be played by itself.

The game can be run from the command line with:

$ git clone https://github.com/lukasturcani/snake
$ cd snake
$ python snake

but options are available too, for more details see:

$ python snake --help

For example, the speed can be altered and walls can be added to the level:

$ python snake --speed 0.2 --walls 10 10 10 11 10 12 10 13 10 14

The game itself is completely decoupled from the IO. If you want to only run snake in a loop and interact with it programatically, for example if you want to do reinforcement learning, you only need to code in game.py. The code in game_io.py defines code which captures keyboard input and sends it to a game of snake and renders the game to the screen. __main__.py is the main loop which lets human users play the game in their terminal.
