How to Win Snake: The UNKILLABLE Snake AI

I watched the CodeBullet Snake AI video on the morning after Thanksgiving and spent WAAAAYY too much time working on an AI of my own. I present to you: Snake, as played algorithmically with Dynamic Hamiltonian Cycle Repair. The snake can never die - like really, actually, literally, can't be killed - it's just a matter of how fast it wins the game…

If you, like me, enjoy watching snakes run around eating apples for hours on end, enjoy this follow-up where I took the median-length game from my best performing algorithm and posted the whole darn thing on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YqL7bl3I5IE
