A new version of the classic Snake game has been created to run in the URL address bar of your browser, using Unicode Braille characters for rendering. Developer Demian Ferreiro has managed to maintain the fast and precise gameplay of the original game in this modern remake. The game is coded in under 400 lines of JavaScript and utilizes Unicode manipulation techniques. The game runs in a 40x4 pixel grid using Braille characters, and players must be quick to change directions due to the limited vertical canvas. Despite being described as a "joke" by Ferreiro, he welcomes feedback and contributions to refine the game on the URL Snake GitHub repository.
