I'm doing ping pong on pgzrun and I don't understand exactly how to make lose and win labels and have the game pause and the ball stop and then restart it again. And I still don't understand how to make rectangular barriers that my ball can bounce off. Many thanks in advance for your help!!

At first i think the cause of the problem was defines a lot of function but i don't know. Also i am new to python so i don't know any kind of optimizing methods.
Any ideas to optimize this program?
We can speed up long snakes by doing the drawing off screen and sending explicit updates. Below is a rework of your code that does just that and includes a temporary patch to make the snake move in a square so you can just hit to see how much the snake is affected by additional body segments:
from turtle import Turtle, Screen
SIZE = 525

GRID_SIZE = SIZE // GRID_NUM
RIGHT, UP, LEFT, DOWN = range(4)

self.head.setpos(GRID_NUM//2, GRID_NUM//2)
self.direction = LEFT
self.body = []
def levelup(self):
if self.body:
self.body.append(self.body[-1].clone())
else:
self.body.append(self.head.clone())
def update(self):
for i in range(len(self.body) - 1, -1, -1):
if i == 0:
self.body[i].setposition(self.head.position())
else:
self.body[i].setposition(self.body[i - 1].position())
def init_turtle():

I'd recommend both approaches as the main loop will only get more complicated (slower) as you add food and border detection.
I changed your coordinate system to make it snake centric. That is, forward(1) moves one square on the grid rather than having to do the math. If you're going to mess with the coordinates anyway, why not tweak them to your best advantage.
I am trying to make a game where you can shoot bullets to kill emojis. However, i can't manage to figure out how to stop spamming the space key to shoot bullets. If you keep on spamming, the game would be too easy. I am not exactly sure if what command I should use. Please help! thanks!

You can use a threaded timer to prevent the method to be called everytime you click the button, and just two attributes in your SpaceShip class.
Everytime the method fireBullet is called, a check is made on the variable can_shoot. If it's true, the bullet is spawned like you did and then a timer runs (with a thread, for not blocking the main flow) that just put can_shoot to False, sleep for any amount of ms you want, and then put can_shoot to True and the method is callable again.
import time
import threading
def __init__(self):
# your stuff
self.wait_between_fire = 300 / 1000 # amount of ms / 1000 to convert in seconds
self.can_shoot = True
class TimerThread(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self, ref):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.ref = ref
def run():
self.ref.can_shoot = False
time.sleep(ref.wait_between_fire)
self.ref.can_shoot = True
def set_timer(self):
TimerThread(self).start()
def fireBullet(self):
if self.can_shoot:
self.bullets.append(Bullet(self.screen, self.xcor(), self.ycor(), self.heading()))
self.set_timer()
We don't need to introduce time nor threading to solve this. We can use turtle's own timer events to control the rate of fire:
def fire():
screen.onkey(None, 'space')
ship.fireBullet()
screen.ontimer(lambda: screen.onkey(fire, 'space'), 250)
Here I've limited the rate of fire to 4 rounds per second. (250 / 1000 milliseconds.) Adjust as you see fit. Below is a rework of your program with this modification as well as other fixes and style tweaks:

Something to consider is that turtles are global entities that don't get garbage collected. So, you might want to collect your spent bullets in a list to reuse, only creating new ones when you need them.
I'm new to python and am working on a final project for my intro to python class. I have the majority of a paddle ball game done, but can't figure out how to make the ball object bounce off of my paddle object.
I've looked on Stackoverflow for a while and have spent a few hours trying to figure it out on my own without any success. If anyone has any ideas I could really use the help.
If there's anything I need to explain better in order for you to get a better understanding please just comment.

I figured it out with the help of a friend. All I had to do was change this code:
From this:
if ((self._x + self._radius > Paddle._x(self) and self._velX > 0) or (self._x + self._radius < Paddle._x2(self))) and (self._y < Paddle._y(self)):
self._velX = -self._velX
To this:
`if (self._x > Paddle._x) and (self._x < Paddle._x2):
if (self._y + self._radius > Paddle._y):
self._velY = -self._velY
self._velX = self._velX + randint(-2,2)`
