Now that the queue is getting populated with various actionables, let's create the queue_handler method to process the items in the queue and update the View accordingly.
We define the queue_handler() method in our View class as follows:
def queue_handler(self): try: while True: task = self.queue.get_nowait() if 'game_over' in task: self.game_over() elif 'move' in task: points = [x for point in task['move'] for x in point] self.canvas.coords(self.snake, *points) elif 'food' in task: self.canvas.coords(self.food, *task['food']) elif 'points_earned' in task: self.canvas.itemconfigure(self.points_earned, text='Score: {}'.format (task['points_earned'])) self.queue.task_done() except queue.Empty: self.after(100, self.queue_handler) ...
