I made a new version of the Snake game in #Orca

I used to draw each body segment with it's own X operator, but suddenly I realized that I need only 2 - X for printing the char and X for erasing it. ​The tip of the tail receives the coordinates of the head with a delay, and this delay = the length of the snake.

Using enough Q operators I can make the maximum length of the snake as long as I want without worrying that Orca can only count to 35, it feels like cheating.

A good chunk of the patch is off screen, because no way I could fit it on video. Though the Offsets construction is too big, it makes the tail much longer than I can handle.
