The only thing I need help with is when you run the program, the bottom right corner of the border is missing. I'm not sure why. And I know I'm no where near finished, I've simply got a wall, and a randomly placed piece of food. A classmate mentioned increasing the BLOCK_SIZE variable in the width for loop, but that simply moved the top and bottom walls over one pixel. I'm stuck, and any help would be greatly appreciated! And I'm not sure if there is a better or easier way of providing my code, so I just pasted it below.

Two things wrong here.  One is that your lines are zero based and 
therefore they don't fill the far end, and other is that you draw the 
horizontal lines many times.

     #left and right walls
     for y in range(HEIGHT):
         surface.blit(wallblock, (0, y * BLOCK_SIZE))
         surface.blit(wallblock, (WIDTH * BLOCK_SIZE, (y+1) * BLOCK_SIZE))

     #top and bottom walls
     wallblock.fill(GREEN)     #REMOVE ME
     for x in range(WIDTH):
         surface.blit(wallblock, ((x+1) * BLOCK_SIZE, 0))
         surface.blit(wallblock, (x * BLOCK_SIZE, HEIGHT * BLOCK_SIZE))

What I did here was to (temporarily) color the top and bottom walls 
GREEN instead of BLUE, and you can better see what happens.  I also 
fixed two of the walls to start at 1 instead of zero.  And unindented 
the latter code so it only displays once.

Once you see what it's doing, you probably want to remove the line that 
I labelled  "REMOVE ME"
