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.

Eat Apples Quick A charming, instantly-readable Pac-Man homage built in Rust and WebAssembly — eat every apple in the maze while dodging a ghost, faster clears score more — confirmed to control flawlessly on both touch and desktop with no bugs anywhere.

Lander A physics-based lunar lander with a numbered daily challenge and a self-verifying control checklist — every touch claim it makes, including real simultaneous multi-touch, was tested and confirmed working.
