Snake head doesn't draw on bottom line of screen

[Tom Bell]

The snakes head '@' symbol doesn't draw on the bottom line of the screen but instead crashes into an 'invisible barrier' and the game ends. Preliminary hacking with screen_height allows the game to end at the head touching the actual edge of the screen but causes the head not to be rendered on the bottom line.

  * Affects ncurses5 library with unicode support enabled.

Strange, I don't have this problem. Any idea why you see this behavior, but I don't?

Although I am not experiencing this problem, I understand that it would make the game look quite unprofessional.

I think this bug has something to do with using a unicode curses library instead of the default used by Python. For the majority of users I don't think it should be a problem. Consider downgrading bug severity for the time being?

Is it possible that this is a problem with curses itself?

[Tom Bell (bushbaby2511)]

This http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1286881 seems to indicate it's a clash between the ncurses and curses library used by PyCurses. This has only been tested on an Ubuntu 10.04 system though so it's possible that other systems would not have such issues.

Further investigation required.

Well, I'm pretty sure this problem exists, I'm just not sure what to do about it, so I'll mark it as `Confirmed`.
