About:

Classic snake at its core, elevated by a real AI: the src/ai/ code implements a genome/neural-network/population system that breeds snake-playing agents across generations, not a scripted bot. Select single-player, 1-vs-AI, 2-3 player local multiplayer, or AI-vs-AI spectator mode from one menu. The title screen's QR code (scan it on desktop to open the same game on your phone) doubles as the touch input's hit-region reference once the game starts.
