  I made Snake in 103 lines of ClojureScript for a talk from 2015: https://github.com/theronic/cljs-snake

  It would be fun to implement WebGL as a renderer.

  Bug: Create snake of length two. Move RIGHT. Quickly press UP LEFT in quick succession. Lose.

  Similar bug with RIGHT->DOWN->LEFT

  And so on for all the other initial directions.

  How is the actual game loop executed? I don't know Elm but I only find update, not how it's run.

  I attended a two day Elm workshop a while back. There is a lot there to love, I just think it's Haskell inspired syntax is a major impediment to it's mainstream adoption. I however would love to be proven wrong as the webs reliability would be so remarkably improved.

  Cool demo. And I learn there was an Elm conference close to where I live and I missed it.
