### Game Over

When the snake collides with its own body or any other obstacle, **it signals the end of the game**. The `game_over()` method is invoked to conclude the current game session. To implement this we will simply use our `running` attribute and set it to <span style="color: blue; font-style: italic">false</span> and then reset the game.

```py
def game_over(game):
    game.running = False
    reset(game)
```

### Resetting the Game

After the game ends it's **essential to reset the game state** for another round. The `reset()` method restores the game's initial conditions and prepares it for a fresh start:

def reset(game):
    game.running = True
    game.snake.length = 2
    game.snake.positions = [(0, 0)] * 2
    game.fruit.position = (self.field[0] - 1, self.field[1] - 1)

> Note
>
> Basically, we just stick with **the default values** provided in the `__init__()` functions of the game, snake, and fruit classes.

In this project, you'll embark on a journey of game development, learning essential programming concepts while honing your creativity and problem-solving skills. Through step-by-step tutorials, you'll build a fully functional Snake game from scratch.

In this Python project, we'll create a traditional simple yet addictive arcade Snake game. This project aims to enhance your skills using straightforward Python code, making it suitable for beginners. In the end you will have a solid game backbone that you can continue to improve with adding new mechanics or adding libraries.
