Snake in 35 lines - 1.0

or 521 :S

How about 664 bytes? ;)

I agree. number of lines is not a good indicator of compactness. All those luxuriously long variable names (more than 3 chars) need to go. 8 spaces of indentation? Make that 1.

i = len(xs)-1
while i >= 2:

why are you defining i? should be:

while len(xs)>2

There are lots of other such optimizations to be done here.

Technically, no, he is still using 35 lines.
It is perfectly legitimate sometimes to use one line for multiple statements.
While that is the exception and not the rule generally, his code is being un-Pythonic.
But he can rightly claim to be only using 35 lines of code ;)

The point is, if you have two statements in one line, they both count, i.e. you use more than 35 "lines".

ghostcoder: It's because the meening with the game was to be as small as possible.
I just wanted to check how many lines i needed to write a snake game.

Nice and simple implementation, but the code is quite messy and there are multiple statements packed in a single line.
