Very cool that these are all iterations on the same idea by the same person, over a span of a year and a half. The one that had one byte more than today's version was 36 days ago. I really admire their persistence.
Repo has 400+ commits, granted a lot of them are for web demo etc, but this just highlights that sometimes doing really small amount of anything (world limit on peer reviews, anyone?) is often a lot of work
For example, this commit seemed like a lot of work to save a single byte: https://github.com/donno2048/snake/commit/bd6bcb1a1477f28130...
I think it's actually a modest change, the diff looks much longer because registers have been renamed and swapped all over the place.
This is ridiculous. So many clever tricks.
