Maybe a silly question...

Sry, but why can't a coding model provide a working "snake game" code for pygame, while llama-3-8b-instruct can? (not always on the first try, but it can).
Promt: Provide complete working code for a snake game in pygame please.
Another promt: Write a Python function that prints the next 20 leap years. Reply with only the function.
Also fails, while other coding models succeed. Update: It actually worked, but after like 5 attempts.
Running the model in LM Studio.

You can use the prompt "Write a snake game with pygame".

The generated code is listed below:

import pygame
import random

# Initialize pygame
pygame.init()

# Set up the display
width, height = 800, 600
win = pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))
pygame.display.set_caption("Snake Game")

# Set up colors
black = (0, 0, 0)
white = (255, 255, 255)
red = (255, 0, 0)
green = (0, 255, 0)

# Set up the snake
snake_speed = 15
snake_block = 10
snake_list = []
snake_length = 1

x1 = width // 2
y1 = height // 2

direction = "RIGHT"

# Set up the food
foodx = round(random.randrange(0, width-snake_block) / 10.0) * 10.0
foody = round(random.randrange(0, height-snake_block) / 10.0) * 10.0

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

game_over = False

while not game_over:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            game_over = True
        elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
            if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT and direction != "RIGHT":
                direction = "LEFT"
            elif event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT and direction != "LEFT":
                direction = "RIGHT"
            elif event.key == pygame.K_UP and direction != "DOWN":
                direction = "UP"
            elif event.key == pygame.K_DOWN and direction != "UP":
                direction = "DOWN"

    # Update the snake's position
    if direction == "RIGHT":
        x1 += snake_block
    elif direction == "LEFT":
        x1 -= snake_block
    elif direction == "UP":
        y1 -= snake_block
    elif direction == "DOWN":
        y1 += snake_block

    # Check for collisions with the edges of the screen
    if x1 < 0 or x1 >= width or y1 < 0 or y1 >= height:
        game_over = True

    # Check for collisions with the snake's body
    for x in snake_list[:-1]:
        if x == (x1, y1):
            game_over = True

    # Add the new head of the snake to the list
    snake_list.insert(0, (x1, y1))

    # Check if the snake has eaten the food
    if x1 == foodx and y1 == foody:
        foodx = round(random.randrange(0, width-snake_block) / 10.0) * 10.0
        foody = round(random.randrange(0, height-snake_block) / 10.0) * 10.0
        snake_length += 1

    # Remove the tail of the snake if it's too long
    if len(snake_list) > snake_length:
        snake_list.pop()

    # Draw everything
    win.fill(black)
    for pos in snake_list:
        pygame.draw.rect(win, green, pygame.Rect(pos[0], pos[1], snake_block, snake_block))
    pygame.draw.rect(win, red, pygame.Rect(foodx, foody, snake_block, snake_block))
    pygame.display.update()

    # Cap the frame rate
    clock.tick(snake_speed)

# Game over screen
pygame.quit()

Hi, I try a simple prompt "snake game with pygame" in the codeqwen-chat huggingface space.
codeqwen is able to generate functional code with a few trials, due to the sampling strategy in the generation config. Maybe you should double check with generation config.
