Snake game in 140byt.es

Snake game in 140byt.es

A working demo.

A basic snake game as an entry to the 140byt.es contest in 136 chars / 138 bytes.

Credit goes to the JS ASCII Logo for the ASCII rendering engine :), and the whole community for the great minifying tips.

it looks like there's a tiny bug. if you move the snake to the right off the screen, it will appear on the other side one square down. was this on purpose maybe?
