It's Snake, but your runs are saved and shown in the background when other people play.
Can I play on mobile?
Yep! The game is mobile-friendly, and should work on Android and iPhone. Just visit the above link and use the on-screen buttons in the bottom corners to rotate the snake.
Note that the view is top-down and the rotation is relative to the snake. So if the snake is going down and you turn left, the snake is now going right. If the snake is going right and you turn left, the snake is now going up.
On a real keyboard, just use the arrow keys.
Do the snakes interact?
No. This is more of a fun (?) visualization than it is a game. I wanted to see what it looks like when you overlay 100+ games of snake on each other.
Food spawned on my snake!
That's not a bug. Every user is shown the same sequence of food locations, so the snakes are all chasing the same thing. That means the food can spawn on top of your snake.
This game doesn't have sounds!

When you're sick of that, you'll be thanking me for not putting it in the game.
What does this have to do with the theme?
Oh right. Umm. Maybe instead of snakes, they're, like, electrons... and instead of food, it's protons? Yeah let's go with that.
What did you use to make the game?
I used P5.js for the game, and a basic Java servlet to store the data in a database.
Can I view the source?
Sure. It's just one HTML file with embedded JavaScript. In your browser, view the source of the page, and that's the source for the game.
