Snake head now showing when trying to build the snake game using python module turtle

Question

I am trying to build the snake game using the python's turtle module. This is my code so far:

import turtle

#set up the screen
wn = turtle.Screen()
wn.title("snake game")
wn.bgcolor("Blue")
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"

turtle.mainloop()

I've created the snake head but when I test for it, it does not show. Is my logic wrong?

Hey @Nagya, so you added the following line in your code:

wn.tracer(0)

It basically turns off the screen updates. Add the following lines:

# Main game loop
while True:
    wn.update()

I tried this, and I still have a blank screen with no paddle. I'm consistenly having this problem no matter which info I read about it. I'm running python 3.8.x Linux Mint 19.x.

Hello,

try turtle.getscreen() instead of turtle.Screen() at the beginning
