Snake game (homework): Discourage extending on the console
The Snake game from homeworks is turn-based, which isn't very fun (and it doesn't match the original game). Several people tried to extend it so it can be played in real-time, but this requires non-trivial hacks, and generally can't be solved by beginners. So, either:
- Explicitly discourage this; say that it'll only be possible after learning Pyglet
- Find an easy-to-use pip-installable library that does this
- Package the StackOverflow answers into an easy-to-use pip-installable library :)
The third option would work nicely as an individual project after the beginners' course; I'll try offering to mentor it.
