| I know this isn't really about Snake, but this implementation of
| snake is frustrating to play because:
|
| 1. It doesn't buffer inputs. If you are travelling Left and
| quickly tap Up then Left, it'll treat it as a no-op instead of
| moving you up a row.
|
| 2. You can suicide by quickly tapping Up + Right while travelling
| Left. It'll fail to buffer the input, so you immediately turn 180
| degrees back on yourself and die. If you're travelling Left, then
| you can't press just Right, but an intermezzo tap of the Up key
| bypasses the input validation that prevents a 180.

| Does anyone know what frameworks Shopify used to put that

| why it's a contest, or a sign of losing some sort of magic.
