Snake
Snake is a classic arcade-type game, which is very simple to play, but nonetheless, surprisingly addictive.
The object of the game is to guide the hungry binary adder around the screen, gobbling up numbers which are plotted randomly. The numbers count down, so the longer you take with the snake, the lower your score will be. If you take too long, and the number decrements to zero, it will disappear, and another number will appear elsewhere. Eating a number will increase the snake's length by that number of segments.
Be careful not to overrun the border, nor allow the snake to cross over itself - particularly difficult as the snake gets longer. Crossing the border or the snake's body will end the turn, OUT will be displayed across the whole screen.
