    You can easily create a playable Snake Game in Python using the built-in turtle module. This version is simple, runs locally, and uses keyboard controls to move the snake.

    import turtle
    import time
    import random

    delay = 0.1
    score = 0
    high_score = 0

    # Screen setup
    wn = turtle.Screen()
    wn.title("Snake Game")
    wn.bgcolor("green")
    wn.setup(width=600, height=600)
    wn.tracer(0)

    # Snake head
    head = turtle.Turtle()
    head.speed(0)
    head.shape("square")
    head.color("black")
    head.penup()
    head.goto(0, 0)
    head.direction = "stop"

    # Food
    food = turtle.Turtle()
    food.speed(0)
    food.shape("circle")
    food.color("red")
    food.penup()
    food.goto(0, 100)

    segments = []

    # Score display
    pen = turtle.Turtle()
    pen.speed(0)
    pen.color("white")
    pen.penup()
    pen.hideturtle()
    pen.goto(0, 260)
    pen.write("Score: 0 High Score: 0", align="center", font=("Courier", 24, "normal"))

    # Movement functions
    def go_up():
    if head.direction != "down":
    head.direction = "up"

    head.setx(head.xcor() - 20)

    delay = 0.1
    pen.clear()
    pen.write(f"Score: {score} High Score: {high_score}", align="center", font=("Courier", 24, "normal"))

    # Food collision
    if head.distance(food) < 20:
    x = random.randint(-290, 290)
    y = random.randint(-290, 290)

    new_segment.speed(0)

    new_segment.color("grey")
    new_segment.penup()
    segments.append(new_segment)

    delay -= 0.001
    score += 10
    if score > high_score:
    high_score = score

    pen.clear()
    pen.write(f"Score: {score} High Score: {high_score}", align="center", font=("Courier", 24, "normal"))

    # Move body segments
    for i in range(len(segments) - 1, 0, -1):
    x = segments[i - 1].xcor()
    y = segments[i - 1].ycor()
    segments[i].goto(x, y)

    move()
