Full featured Python snake game. Supports Py2k and Py3k. This is abandonware. I write it on holiday in Bogotá, Colombia, in 2012. Please do not PR it, fork it if interested in doing that.
I recommend that you use a square font. On my system, the optimal font definition to use is -*-fixed-*-r-*-ko-18-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-* and is provided by the file /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/18x18ko.pcf.gz. So I run the xterm that will be launching snake with:
xterm -fn -*-fixed-*-r-*-ko-18-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-* -bg black -fg white
To see font definitions on your system, look at the file fonts.dir in your X11 font directory or use the xfontsel program.
As the font is public domain, a copy is also in this directory.
For a full list of options, type ./snake.py -h.
snake supports maps. To use the example map, type ./snake.py map.smp. The provided rendermap_image.py script generates maps from images using PIL.
