class Snake(object):

    def __init__(self, size):

        self.size = size

        self.board = []

        self.snake = []

        self.food = []

        self.score = 0

   def move(self, direction):

if direction in "UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT":

    self.board[self.snake[0]][self.snake[1]] = direction

    self.snake = self.snake[1:] + [self.snake[0]]



def eat(self, food):

if food == "right":

    self.score += 1

elif food == "left":

    self.score -= 1



def checkCollision(self, other):

if self.snake[0] == other.snake[0] and self.snake[1] == other.snake[1]:

    print("Oops, you hit yourself!")

elif self.snake[0] == other.snake[1] and other.snake[0] == self.snake[1]:

    print("Oops, you hit the wall!")

else:

    print("Collision")





if __name__ == "__main__":

    snake = Snake(5)

    print("You are playing as: " + snake.name)

while snake.score >= 0:

    print("You have " + snake.score + " points left.")

    print("moving snake")

    snake.move("left")

    print("Current board:")

    print(snake.board)

    print("Eating food")

    snake.eat("left")

    print("Current board:")

    print(snake.board)

The Problem is with line 37 elif food == "left":

I'm getting a syntax error: invalid syntax and I am not sure how to go about fixing this specific error. I am new to programming in python and this should probably be obvious to someone more experienced I am hoping. For me I can't seem to figure it out.

    spacing is important. copy paste looks like it made the issue worse. look into formatting the code. – Abel Jan 26 '22 at 01:02

    Your code is improperly formatted. It's impossible to tell what's a copy-paste error and what's an actual indentation error. – ddejohn Jan 26 '22 at 01:02
  • You've got to indent your code. There is no indentation for the `eat` function. – NameError Jan 28 '22 at 08:15

You have an indentation problem with your code. You can find out more about it here.

Python relies on indentation for its blocks. Multiple of your lines aren't indented properly.

if food == "right":
    self.score += 1
elif food == "left":
    self.score -= 1

Make sure to indent your code. There are other parts of the code that aren't indented properly such as checkCollision and your if __name__ == "__main__"

You should just add tabulation in elif food == "left" when using il and elif use it in this way (if and elif in the same degree of space)

if condition:
     do something
elif condition:
     do something
