Show HN: MMO snake over ssh – ssh snakes.run

Operating in show hn launch, MMO snake over ssh – ssh snakes.run operates.

Profile

snakes.run is massively multiplayer snake, played over ssh. ssh snakes.run to play.I spent a while reducing the game's bandwidth footprint as much as I could; I have a writeup on my site about how the game works if you're curious[1].That said - there is only a single server here (Anycast shenanigans were out of scope), so latency does get worse the further you are from the server (NYC). I think the game is pretty playable for a surprising number of people, but you'll definitely struggle to play from, say, Australia.Fun fact: two sub-problems that I encountered while thinking about this game made their way to HN's front-page - TCP_NODELAY[2] and SSH keystroke obfuscation[3].
