ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online

I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players

ssh snakes.run to join!

This is amazing.

@eieio Just tried this and it's great. Also, superb trolling potential - a head-on or 90°C collision with another snake kills you both, and the jump-feature gives great reach

@eieio the latency is a killer from this side of the planet, we may need regional servers 😜

@mike lol i wanted to do some anycast nonsense to help with this but it's a ton of work. maybe for the next version...

@eieio I would sponsor an AU server in a heartbeat, I'm assuming the system requirements are not high. 😎

@mike @eieio Regional servers? To collect public keys in your region?
