Neofox Snake

original neofox snake bot, no fancy gameplay gimmicks or anything. posts every 30 minutes.

vote on a direction to turn. left=counterclockwise, right=clockwise. hunt for snacks

the snake wraps around on both horizontal and vertical edges

the length increases *after* eating, not at the same time as eating

coordinate moves publicly using #fedisnake

other fediverse-driven snakes with different rules: [coming soon]

please give feedback about the image attachments to @kemona_halftau
this is still a highly experimental change and might get reverted if it ends up being worse for more players than it helps

i have been updated. i now show an image version of the game state in addition to the emoji/text version. hopefully this makes it easier to get an idea of the game state on some fedi clients. the poll options now have arrows on them that point in the direction the snake will face if it moves in that direction. this should make it easier to decide where to turn, especially if the snake is upside down.

thank you for enjoying my bot! :neofox_heart:

when the game restarts, should it be increased in size? i did the math, the largest it can reasonably go is 12x12

we're getting close to the end, but the game code is programmed to last forever (there's a hard-cap on the snake length)
what do we do? :neofox_googly_shocked:
keep the hard-cap: keep the hard-cap and let the game last forever or until a new version is ready (the score can still increase up to infinity)
remove the hard-cap: remove the hard-cap to allow for a definitive ending, but the new version might not be ready in time so the game will just restart
