Making a Snake Game Where You're the Food in Python

description
I made a snake game in Python that works in the terminal... but this time, you're the food! lol You can check out the game and the code here: https://replit.com/talk/share/snake-game-but-youre-the-food/126048 You can find my implementation of the regular snake game here: https://replit.com/talk/share/snake-on-terminal/125833 You can check out @LorenzoCampos's original snake game that inspired my idea here: https://replit.com/talk/share/snake/123875
