If you are the smallest snake on the board, you are in danger. So, there are multiple snakes on the grid. Battlesnake mixes that up by making it multiplayer. That is the base game, the one people are familiar with. ![]() Battlesnake, if you are not aware of this Nokia thing we’re talking about, it is a game you have a little snake, moves around a 2D grid. JOE: Well, we’re operating on the same level. JASON: Turns out I’m not much of a futurist. I was like this is the worst idea in the world. Carson Daly was on Total Request Live every day talking about how cool text messaging was. JASON: And, you know, I remember being very, like, I got my Nokia brick, and I remember that I’m gonna say so many things to date me right now. JASON: I’ve crossed the generational gap now where, like, I forget that there are people who actively work in tech who have never existed without cell phones. I realized last time I was streaming for Battlesnake, that’s probably a really old person way to look at it. JOE: Well, first of all, I’m really assured you mentioned the Nokia Snake game. JASON: Could you give us a bit of a background. JASON: But that’s, honestly, as much as I understand about it. So, I mentioned, you know, we’re going to be doing some code.

So, like, you just get a block of wood and you make a spoon out of it? JASON: That was, like, you can’t just casually drop that in and not volunteer more information. I developed a weird little program called Battlesnake, which I’m excited to talk to you about. Prior to that helping others at GitHub and a consultant on my own. JASON: For folx who aren’t familiar with you, do you want to give us a little bit of a background on yourself. But, before we talk about that, let’s talk about you. I know JavaScript, which I know is what we’re going to work with today, but I am not a game dev, and so I am very worried that I am going to make a public fool of myself today. You know, I had one of the Nokia bricks in high school. JASON: Honestly, every time I talk about what shows are coming up, I look at this episode and I just feel this mixture of excitement and terror and, like, this is this is something that is both very familiar to me.
