Hey guys! Glad (and a little panicked) to see this get some more attention. I've shut down signups/logins because I don't have time to moderate, and right now you really have to mo…

Despite my ex-roommate's well-intentioned defense, I was probably sober for most of it. It was also a decade ago and I'm somewhat wiser now. As mentioned elsewhere, I learned a lot…

Sorry about that! Should be working now. Here's something I never thought I'd say: Perl made breaking changes. My guess is additional strict things broke the gitweb CGI script (whi…

Very nice. I also see you got a few other tricks that I missed, like factoring out the random number generator. I am impressed.

I read somewhere that most browsers have a practical limit to what you can paste in. What I should have written was that it would fit in an address bar. shrug

I thought about it. It's been so long since I've played Nokia snake that I didn't remember whether it queued inputs or not. I decided not to bother since it would make input handli…

If you're curious, the "readable" version is here: http://bytex64.net/code/datasnake/snake.html I started out writing it as straightforward as possible, then applied functional tri…

That's weird. I developed it in Opera.
