Bug Description

The snake stops when no arrow keys are being held down. This should not happen as it defeats the point of the game.

To run keypresses on a more Event styled approach then use python.cbreak() [Documentation here: http://docs.python.org/library/curses.html#curses.cbreak]. In this mode the getch() method returns the next character from the queue of user input or -1 on no input so doesn't wait for input for updating.

This works in my branch if you want to use the code or try a different approach?
