I did the same thing with my first LD game (also written in pygame). It is better to put something there like &quot;Press SPACE to exit&quot; than nothing at all.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also some advice for coding things like snake and tetris: Try to keep the coordinates small (so lead_x_change in your code would be 0,1, or -1) and multiply by an up-scaling factor in rendering like:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>pygame.draw.rect(gameDisplay,orange,[XnY[0]*SCALE, XnY[1]*SCALE,1*SCALE,1*SCALE])\r<br\/>\r<br\/>That makes it easier to change the resolution later.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- bob"},{"author_name":"mahjong50","author_uid":"60735","time":"Dec 21, 2015 @ 7:22pm","epoch":1450725420,"text":"Good job with finishing a game.\r<br\/>Maybe next time try to improve the controls of your game, since I can accidently kill myself by moving in the other direction."},{"author_name":"camlang","author_uid":"34675","time":"Dec 27, 2015 @ 8:32pm","epoch":1451248020,"text":"Nice little game.
