Really great! I think it was on "really big" canvas with multiple snakes, but two snakes in real time are good too. Um, are those anonymouses are messing up the score? Especially in loss/win ratio. Btw, where do you host this app?

I made a prototype for this, playable on http://bfilmhelden.de:8080

JS events using in these JS only apps conflict with Pentadactyl and Vimperator for me. :( EDIT: It's the extensions' fault, just to be clear. Also, I'm amazed by the addictive nature of this simple game!

You can enable "ignore all keys" mode with Shift-Escape in Vimperator. It would then just pass all your key strokes directly to the app. I believe there should be similar mode in Pentadactyl as well.

My biggest problem with this is I've gotten two opponents which didn't try to grow, just kept going in circles. They were pretty much guaranteed to win, since I eventually hit myself. Even if I hit them, it was just a draw. Kind of silly, since they'd obviously get bored quickly, but still a problem.

You can still win - just keep on eating, at one time a green point will suddenly appear in their path and it will make them lose (and you can get lots of points in the meantime).
