+A multithreaded programming demonstration in Python &amp; Pygame using a "Nibbles" clone.
+
+This Python & Pygame script shows a simple window where "worms" of various 
+lengths and speed run around. The program demonstrates multithreaded programming
+and using locks to make the code threadsafe (worms will never go through each
+other.)
+
+This code works with either Python 3 or Python 2. You need Pygame installed to 
+run it.
+
+Uncomment the setGridSquares() function call to draw static squares on the map,
+instead of having a completely open field. You can also try adjusting the 
+constants at the top of the file.
