Origins & Changes
OTW Pythonic Apple is based on one of my favorite retro games, Snake. The original game, or the closest to the original game online version, can be found at https://snake97.com/.

- there are obstacles that protect the apple from being eaten,
- the canvas randomly changes color after a certain score is reached.
- the canvas where the snake game is played on bounces around the screen in a predicted way after a certain score is reached, and
Controls
Desktop/Laptop Computer
This option to playing the game has the best experience and is most comfortable to play on. Press the LEFT or RIGHT arrow key to turn the snake left or right from its perspective. Press 'P' to pause the game.
All Mobile Devices & Computers
All devices may tap (mobile devices) or mouse-click (non-mobile devices) on a side of the screen to change the snake's direction. This means that if you tap on the left side of the screen, then the snake will turn left, and if you tap on the right side of the screen, then the snake will turn right. There is currently no mobile feature to pause the game. Increased functionality will come in later updates.
