Without a point system the one thing I've found is that the multiplayer makes it a disadvantage to play the normal game. The bigger you are the harder it is, you win when the other player crashes. Just a thought.

#22Awesome! For some reason when I want to turn around very quick (Left/Right + Down or Left/Right + Up depending which way I'm going) I just "Die". I wouldn't run into myself in that case, so not sure what's going on. Apart from that, very cool!

#23Pretty cool. Although when you start, you have no idea which snake you are. I end up in the wall half the time because I suspect I'm the other snake.
In my first game we were both confused about which snake we were and ended up hitting the wall at the same time.

#24The colors scheme of the snakes/points/bg are pretty painful for the eye - even though I like background stashsnake a lot!
Re: Show HN: Multiplayer Snake in Go
#25Nice. One complaint: when it's really slow in the beginning, you can apparently do a 180 in place and kill yourself, but it looks like you didn't turn at all. Unless that's how the classic played too...
EDIT: I've had a few TRON-like cut-off or near-cutoff moments. Very cool.

I think it turns in on itself inside one pixel, which I don't think is right compared to the way the classic played (one turn always meant at least one pixel in that direction, no matter how fast you pressed)

#27I really enjoyed playing this while it works but maybe 33% of the time the game just freezes on me and I have to refresh to get it to start working again. I have a strong internet connection so I don't think that's the problem.
I had similar issues - glad I'm not the only one.

I agree the ability to kill your self with a 180 kinda sucks. It's not fun when you do it to yourself and it is not satisfying when your opponent does it either. I would make sure that it was impossible to do.

If you are bigger it is easier to make the other player crash into you.
