An excerpt from the article. "He says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that'd bring in another $150 million, but he doesn't want to do that. It feels off-mission."
A green, 8bit snake moves around a grid of bricks. It moves one tile by snake rules, then slides the rest of the way to its target. This allows it to crawl around walls and form unique shapes.
