The main code.py for the project is fairly small and simple. The bulk of the game logic and functionality is handled in the helper classes, which you can learn about over on their own page.
The code.py script initializes the ChomperGame helper class and Qualia display driver library, as well as the digitalio input on pin A0.
In the main loop of the code, it calls game_tick() on the ChomperGame process a tick of action within the game. Lastly, it polls the button digitalio input, and when pressed, accesses the Player object via the ChomperGame and changes its direction to the opposite of whichever way it was headed. If the Player had already been nabbed by a Ghost and the game was over, then the button press will start up a new round to play again.
