Python Snake Course Lesson 5 - Classes

Lesson 5 focuses on implementing our snake as a class. We use the Python code at the end of lesson 4 as a starting point.

This is the agenda:

a recap and explanation of the current code (as a reminder and a brief introduction for anybody joining the course for the first time)
a brief look at unpacking a list (or tuple) and list comprehensions. We will need both of these later in this lesson
an example of a very minimal implementation of a class, and then a more complete example that follows best practices
create our Snake class
refactor some of our functions so that they become methods of the Snake class
and refactor other functions so that we pass a variable representing an instance of the Snake class as an argument
