Development

Dev environment: Kano DevBox

1. Make sure you install Kano DevBox and you start it
2. Install make-snake using the icon on the desktop
3. Now you will be able to run and develop make-snake on Kano DevBox!
4. Open a terminal and type make-snake.
   If you want to run the game directly then type python /usr/share/make-snake. (Make sure the window is big enough, otherwise snake might not run properly)
