WASM Snake

Vim Snake 2.0 is written in Go and compiled to Web Assembly.

I originally built this site in 2013 using my extremely limited knowledge of javascript and ruby/sinatra. It was trivial to cheat and so the leaderboard was meaningless. This rewrite fixes those issues and taught me a bunch about new web technologies.
