You can continue working on this project if you like. One feature you can add is a keyListener in change_direction to restart the game every time there is a game over. ex) if (e.keysym == "space" and gameOver). Inside this conditional statement, you should reset the game to default (clear snake_body, set velocityX, velocityY, score to 0, etc). Another feature you can add after this is keep track of the high score and paint it below the current score. For this you will need a variable to keep track of high score.
