Just so you know, someone made a 256-bytes Snake on Cemetech using z80 ASM, and it does all you said (although it uses a 16*16 grid).
Coded golf 5? Does that mean 4 is over already?* Ben_g0 forgot to submit his entry again :SAnyway, I'll try this one. Can we use simple command-line text graphics and rely on the user to set the window to the correct size?
Well, I mainly meant that if you output text in a command line larger than the area you use, it may show garbage on the edges, like the remainder of previous frames.
What are the rules on how input must work? All the languages I've been using so far don't support raw input without libraries, and it would be faster to do it via line based input, but also much worse.It will also be impossible for you to test without installing perl/python and whatever library I use.
I will, however, have to see an animated screenie of any entries of Nspire Lua and any other language I can't test.
That's really not simple at all for any terminal-based language. Input for those languages is not handled in real time. Imagine making a basic snake with only input, not getkey, and you'll be pretty much spot on.
