Hello everyone! I am trying to make a snake in pygame but i came across an error that said:
TypeError: rect argument is invalid
Does anyone know how to fix this?

The argument of the pygame.draw.rect function, which is defined as a list in your code, must be a tuple. In addition, you placed this argument outside the brackets, which is incorrect, and the color of the rectangle is not specified in the tuple.
Corrected drawing code:
pygame.draw.rect(game_screen, (255, 255, 255), (x, y, 10, 10))

Wouldn’t pygaame.Rect(x, y, 10, 10) also work?

Are you still getting the same error?
I did get the same error, again.
Can you send your full code? Be sure to wrap it in a code block
```py
# your code here
```

pygame.draw.rect (game_screen,255,0,0), [food_x,food_y,10,10]
Replace this code with this one:
pygame.draw.rect(game screen, (255, 0, 0), (food_x, food_y, 10, 10))
You forgot to put an opening parenthesis before 255.
You need to delete line 24.

Okay, I did the delete line 24 now. I am able to see the red dot now in the game but not the moving one.
Is the code now right u think? I hope I followed the steps right.
As the error says, you need to replace pygame.DOWN with pygame.K_DOWN.
