how do i disappear food from inside snake with python?

I want to make the food disappear from the snake when it eats the food but the string stays visible inside snake making the snake look weird with the food in the snake... now what I been trying is this line of code:
Error ( 'tuple' object has no attribute 'replace' )
for food in snake:
food = food.replace(food, ' ')
I just started writting code not too long ago... i only know the basics of python but still confusing and I'm trying to learn as i work in this project to make the game better...
This is the python Script:
import curses
from mimetypes import init
from random import randint
WINDOW_WIDTH = 60
WINDOW_HEIGHT = 20
# Set Up
curses.initscr()
win = curses.newwin(WINDOW_HEIGHT, WINDOW_WIDTH, 0, 0) # y, x
win.keypad(1)
curses.noecho()
curses.curs_set(0)
win.border(0)
win.nodelay(1)
# Snake And Food
snake = [(4, 10), (4, 9), (4, 8)]
food = (10, 10)
win.addch(food[0], food[1], '⊠')
# Game Logic
score = 0
ESC = 27
key = curses.KEY_RIGHT
while key != ESC:
win.addstr(0, 2, 'score ' + str(score) + ' ')
win.timeout(150 - (len(snake)) // 5 + len(snake)//10 % 120)
prev_key = key
event = win.getch()
key = event if event != -1 else prev_key
if key not in [curses.KEY_LEFT, curses.KEY_RIGHT, curses.KEY_UP, curses.KEY_DOWN, ESC]:
prev_key
# Calculating Coordinates
y = snake[0][0]
x = snake[0][1]
if key == curses.KEY_DOWN:
y += 1
if key == curses.KEY_UP:
y -= 1
if key == curses.KEY_LEFT:
x -= 1
if key == curses.KEY_RIGHT:
x += 1
snake.insert(0, (y, x))
# Hit Border Reboot
if y == 0: break
if y == WINDOW_HEIGHT-1: break
if x == 0: break
if x == WINDOW_WIDTH-1: break
# dead.Self Snake
if snake[0] in snake[1:]: break
if snake[0] == food:
# Eat The Food
score += 1
food = ()
while food == ():
food = (randint(1,WINDOW_HEIGHT-2), randint(1,WINDOW_WIDTH-2))
if food in snake:
food = ()
win.addch(food[0], food[1], '⊠')
else:
# Move Snake
last = snake.pop()
win.addch(last[0], last[1], ' ')
win.addch(snake[0][0], snake[0][1], '▇')
# Working in Making the food Disappear inside snake
curses.endwin()
print(f"Final score = {score}")
I'm trying to figure out if it goes at the bottom of the code or somewhere else... I try a few things ex: While, If, and different variables...
P.s. ((I just wrote the code but is not mines I did'nt copy & paste neither...))
Please Help!!....

How do I prevent this Integer expectation error?

I'm making a simple little snake game as coding practice.
While trying to add the tail character to the window, I get this error. I know that I am not giving it integers, but I do not know what to do differently in order to.
Here is the error:
line 56, in <module>
w.addch(tail[0], tail[1], ' ')
TypeError: integer argument expected, got float
Here is the part generating error:
else:
tail = snake.pop()
w.addch(tail[0], tail[1], ' ')
Heres the full code:
import random
import curses
s = curses.initscr()
curses.curs_set(0)
sh, sw = s.getmaxyx()
w = curses.newwin(sh, sw, 0, 0)
w.keypad(1)
w.timeout(100)
snk_x = sw/4
snk_y = sh/2
snake = [
[snk_y, snk_x],
[snk_y, snk_x-1],
[snk_y, snk_x-2]
]
food = [sh/2, sw/2]
w.addch(food[0], food[1], curses.ACS_PI)
key = curses.KEY_RIGHT
while True:
next_key = w.getch()
key = key if next_key == -1 else next_key
if snake[0][0] in [0, sh] or snake[0][1] in [0, sw] or snake[0] in snake[1:]:
curses.endwin()
quit()
new_head = [snake[0][0], snake[0][1]]
if key == curses.KEY_DOWN:
new_head[0] += 1
if key == curses.KEY_UP:
new_head[0] -= 1
if key == curses.KEY_RIGHT:
new_head[1] += 1
if key == curses.KEY_LEFT:
new_head[1] -= 1
snake.insert(0, new_head)
if snake[0] == food:
food = None
while food is None:
nf = [
random.randinit(1, sh-1),
random.randinit(1, sw-1)
]
food = nf if nf not in snake else None
w.addch(food[0], food[1], curses.ACS_PI)
else:
tail = snake.pop()
w.addch(tail[0], tail[1], ' ')
w.addch(snake[0][0], snake[0][1], curses.ACS_CKBOARD)
I cant think of a way to be more direct so this is me filling the text requirements.
reference for code?:
s = screen, snk_x/y = Snake x/y, sw/sh = screen width/height, w = window.
If I can be anymore clear let me know.

addch expects int. But division of integers in python 3 returns float.
You can:
convert the numbers to int w.addch(int(food[0]), int(food[1]), curses.ACS_PI)
or you can use // instead of / to do integer division

You can try just casting the values to integers using int() as follows:
w.addch(int(tail[0]), int(tail[1]), ' ')

Minimax implementation in tic tac toe (Python) not working - no idea why

I am currently trying to make a Tic Tac Toe game with minimax implemented in Python. Another feature that I'm trying to implement is different board sizes. But overall, unfortunately, the algorithm is not working.
As a beginner, this is not a surprise for me, but this case seems hopeless. I tried tweaking quite a lot of things (may seem like a lot just to me) just to end up with the same result - the computer filling up the fields from top left to bottom right.

In computedMove, you should first play the ai move then check the scores.
def computedMove():
global board
myBoard = board
computedTarget = maxTarget
moveX = 2
moveY = 2
for n in range(boardSize):
for m in range(boardSize):
if myBoard[n][m] == '0':
myBoard[n][m] = ai #This is added
score = minimax(myBoard, 0, True)
if score > computedTarget:
computedTarget = score
moveX = n
moveY = m
makeMove(moveX, moveY)
Also in minimax function, you should use same variable for myBoard and board.

Error in Python application

I have made a snakes game in Python which was referred from someplace, but am getting error.
The program snakes.py is given below:
import random
import curses
s= curses.initscr()
curses.curs_set(0)
sh, sw = s.getmaxyx()
w = curses.newwin(sh, sw, 0, 0)
w.keypad(1)
w.timeout(100)
snk_x = sw/4
snk_y = sh/2
snake = [
[snk_y, snk_x],
[snk_y, snk_x-1],
[snk_y, snk_x-2]
]
food = [sh/2, sw/2]
w.addch(food[0], food[1], curses.ACS_PI)
key = curses.KEY_RIGHT
while True:
next_key = w.getch()
key = key if next_key == -1 else next_key
if snake[0][0] in [0,sh] or snake[0][1] in [0, sw] or snake[0] in snake[1:]:
curses.endwin()
quit()
new_head = [snake[0][0], snake[0][1]]
if key == curses.KEY_DOWN:
new_head[0] +=1
if key == curses.KEY_UP:
new_head[0] -=1
if key == curses.KEY_LEFT:
new_head[1] -=1
if key == curses.KEY_RIGHT:

snake.insert(0, new_head)
if snake[0] == food:
food = None
while food is None:
nf = [
random.randint(1, sh-1),
random.randint(1, sw-1)
]
food = nf if nf not in snake else None
w.addch(food[0], food[1], curses.ACS_PI)
else:
tail = snake.pop()
w.addch(tail[0], tail[1], ' ')
w.addch(snake[0][0], snake[0][1], curses.ACS_CKBOARD)
I am getting the following error on w.addch(food[0], food[1], curses.ACS_PI):
TypeError: integer argument expected, got float.
I am also usng python 3.6 version, so how to fix this code.

In Python 3 the slash operator produces a float, even if both its arguments were ints. So your line food = [sh/2, sw/2] produces a list of two floats.
You should use the double-slash operator which produces an int:
food = [sh//2, sw//2]

food = [sh/2, sw/2]
In Python 3, the division / operator always produces floating-point values.
You should consider using the integer division operator, //.

'break' outside loop in snake game

I'm currently making a snake game in python (IDLE 3.6.0) and it keeps coming up with an error called 'break' outside loop. What does that mean? What am I doing wrong. This is the first time I've ever come accross this error.
Here's my code:
# SNAKES GAME
# Use ARROW KEYS to play, SPACE BAR for pausing/resuming and Esc Key for exiting
import curses
from curses import KEY_RIGHT, KEY_LEFT, KEY_UP, KEY_DOWN
from random import randint

while key != 27:
win.border(0)

win.addstr(0, 27, ' SNAKE ') # 'SNAKE' strings

# Calculates the new coordinates of the head of the snake. NOTE: len(snake) increases.
# This is taken care of later at [1].
snake.insert(0, [snake[0][0] + (key == KEY_DOWN and 1) + (key == KEY_UP and -1), snake[0][1] + (key == KEY_LEFT and -1) + (key == KEY_RIGHT and 1)])

win.addch(snake[0][0], snake[0][1], '#')
curses.erdwin()
print("\nScore - " + str(score))
print("http://bitemelater.in\n")
I'd be glad if you could help! Thanks!

The line that says if snake[0]in snake[1:]: break is where your error is stemming from. You probably want to use some kind of game ending function to display points and high scores and such:
def end_game():
#do your game ending things here
Then you would call that function here:
if snake[0]in snake[1:]: end_game()
EDIT:
I found this in relation to your curses error: Error no module named curses. It seems as if curses doesn't support Windows machines. Try installing UniCurses or this binary.
