package. On Windows and OSX, you can download the appropriate binary from http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml.
2. Download and un-archive the Snakes project skeleton code
Un-archiving will produce a Snakes
folder containing several Python files.

Run the snakes.py
script in your Snakes
directory. A window with a Snakes game should pop up, including square bits of food, the snake you can control, and the enemy snake. Try using the Up and Down keys to move your snake.
