# File: snake5.py
#
# A simple program that uses the graphics module
# and the curses module to draw a "snake" on
# the graphics window that is controlled by 
# the arrow keys on the keyboard
#
# This version, the length of the snake is 1
# initially. The snake grows longer until
# max length is reached.
