This is too confusing to play on firefox.

Worked just fine on version 143.

This is awesome. My only issue is that the character used for whitespace looks janky in my browser, like a bunch of non-monospaced squares. A potential remedy: because Unicode contains all 256 possible 4x2 Braille patterns, why not use ⣿ as the background and carve out the snake/food as negative space, e.g.

⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣩⣽⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿

This would ensure uniform spacing and is just as legible.
