Answer 1

How about this?

https://code.sololearn.com/csUViD8yqD3N/?ref=app

Some typo error and floor division as suggested by other members here to get int instead of float values. See comments.

I slowed it down for debugging.Plus I am not a good player...

Never explored curses-based games. I also copy-pasted another version I found online. Seems easier to understand.

Copy-paste to Pydroid3 to play.
You cannot run this in Sololearn playground.
Lots of code cannot run in Sololearn.

If I do that the line 56 will be wrong how do I correct that?

Answer 9

You sit down and think it through. You can do it. Look at the error carefully. Look at the spec you are writing the code to match and refer to the python documentation.

Answer 17

After digging around, I saw a suggestion to try executing the python code in command prompt, not the idle shell. Make sure you installed windows-curses.
Yes, I can confirm this works.

As the topic is about curses and console games, here is an interesting module:

https://pypi.org/project/blessed/

Their version of snake game

https://github.com/jquast/blessed/blob/master/bin/worms.py

I installed it in Pydroid3 on my phone and ran the worms.py program.

Colors to blow your mind...😁

Answer 18

You have type errors, for example on line 20
w.addch(food[0], food[1], curses.ACS_PI)
food[0] and food[1] are floats from the math on the line above, but int's are expected. The errors in the console are valuable troubleshooting tools. It tells you what's not working.

At line 56 a similar issue exists.

Answer 19

When the program gets to line 19 sh=24 and sw=80
Line 19 does division on each, dividing by 2
24/2=12.0 80/2=40.0 <--those are floats not int's

If you do floor division // then the result is
24//2=12 and 80//2=40 <--both are int's

I have not sat down and examined if the code meets the requirements of your task. I am just telling you why the code fails at line 20. This will hopefully get you started down the right track.

How?
