Few years ago my brother threw a beer on my iPhone in an Amsterdam bar. The poor thing didn't like the Dutch brew as much as I do: it died. While waiting for a new phone to arrive, I used an old one that couldn't do anything but texting, calling and... Snake! I decided to try and develop an accurate remake myself - it changed my live! I wrote a post detailing much of the experience, 30M downloads and counting: https://willem.com/blog/2018-02-21_updating-snake-97/

TLDR: try and build your own game - it’s fun, you’ll learn a lot and it can change your life!
