Immediate Help needed with snake game!!!! Please!!!!

[kytes5]

im trying to make a snake game.
i have done as much as i can upto the part where when the snake eats the apple, it pops up in a new spot
but im having trouble getting the snake to grow
all the part of the code that is in red, is what i tryed to do to make the snake grow
could someone please tell me what im doing wrong and tell the correct code that would work with my program?
i would greatly appreciate it

Suggestion, do NOT use GUI. It's never nice to use it. You can create your own buttons instead that work better then GUI.

Also, if you still need your snake to grow, take out your X2 Variable of the Snake and replace it with another variable. Lets say, ss3.

With the way you have it, and they way I suggested it, you are affecting two variables if you increase it by an increment. Swapping out the ss1 + 10 for ss3 you can now effect only one variable, and have it grow the way you want.

I'm guessing your collision is working right now. Can't use the other machine until later. However you will want to do this.

Turing:

that doesnt work, the snake is now just a huge black line, you are getting it to grow the box, not make another box after it
