There are a lot of ways to approach writing a snake game in Python. The best way to start is by breaking down the game into its core components: drawing the board, snake movement, detecting collisions, and eating items.

For drawing the board, you can use the turtle module and create a two-dimensional grid of specific size. This can be used to generate a game board.

The movement of the snake can be implemented by having the snake update its position in a certain direction and then drawing it with the turtle module. To detect collisions you can use a function that checks the location of the snake's head against every other tile in the board.

The eating of items can be implemented in different ways. One option is to generate a random item at a specific location and then check if the snake’s head collides with that position. If so, the item can be removed and the snake can advance in size or score.

Finally, a main game loop can be written that will call all of the other functions to advance the game state.

In summary, a good outline of the snake game would look something like this:

1. Create game board
2. Detect user input
3. Update snake position
4. Check for collisions
5. Generate random item
6. Check for item consumption
7. Advance game state
8. Repeat from step 2
