+Using the [Ebitengine](https://ebitengine.org/), I made a very ugly and simple snake game, mostly to learn a bit more 
+about how game programming works, dip my toes a little bit. You can find [the code here](https://git.bricebernard.dev/Mimu/snake-game).

+
+I did this purely to see how it feels to write a game loop. That's why there is only one level, randoming a constant 
+amount of points to eat. The gif above is basically the entire game.
+
+The only addition is pressing the `spacebar` to go at maximum speed.
+
+I didn't really learn anything in Go but it was interesting to write something completely different than the usual 
+web stuff. I did enjoy it a lot and I'm looking forward to the next one, with bevy while learning rust. 
+It'll be more polished, maybe.
+
+If I had to point out one aspect I did not enjoy at all, it's **writing text**. It's probably because I'm coming from 
+the web where this is so trivial, but what a nightmare to size and position. It's 100% a skill issue, I hope, but goddamn.
