Wow, this guy has really got some nice work to show! His work reminds me of Salvador Dali, who's work has been a real inspiration to me.

Since I am also a big fan of Tetris I linked one of Erik's works here. Tetris huh, I think my mind got seriously broken in my early teens when I was practically always playing it. I sometimes still see tetraminos everywhere I go.

Micro Snake

Wow, it would seem I've started a series of miniature games. Yesterday I released Micro Snake on Freshmeat. Like last time, it's a very small implementation with as few dependencies as possible, made for playing on dumb ASCII/ANSI vt100 terminals.

The project is a refactor of an original DOS game by Simon Huggins. Thank you Simon for allowing me to reuse your work!

Like most code I publish these days it's under the ISC License.

Download the code and try it out!
