Snake for Commodore Vic-20

Here is a single player version of the classic snake game that I have recreated in BASIC for the Commodore Vic-20.  Some may remember snake from the Nokia classic phones (1998) or from Atari VCS 2600: Surround (1977).

I have a Commodore watch platform (M5Stack with watch wristband running my Commodore emulators) which I can run some simple programs.  The purpose of developing this game was to create something I could play on my watch with just two buttons.


Apparently my high score is 73.  Try to beat that!
