How to Play 'Snake' on Any YouTube Video

I made this little tutorial because little did I know, not many people know about this cool little trick. I didn't post this in the UE section because I did not believe it is true guide material. If this needs be re-located to a more suiting section, I'm sure the mods will handle it.

How to Play 'Snake' on ANY YouTube Video.

For those of you who are not familiar with this classic arcade-style game, you are essentially a line that is controlled by your arrow-keys. You are to collect the objects on the screen by directing your "snake" up, down, left, and right with the arrow-keys. In this case, the "snake" on YouTube is made up of the loading-circle pixels and so are the objects you must acquire. Simple enough, right? Here's how to do it:
- Load any YouTube video you wish
- Set the time to 0:00 on the video, and do not play it.
- Hold down the left arrow key
- While holding down that key, press the up arrow key

After you have completed these steps, the "snake" should appear and you will immediately be able to control it with your arrow keys. The snake will follow your directions according to what arrow-key you pressed. All you have to do is eat up all of the little squares/circles that appear on the screen.​

 

It's a nice tutorial, but kind of unneeded for something as simple as this. A 2 sentence explanation would have worked, but still good job.

 

I had the time to add a few colours and go into detail a tad more, that's it. It's not even a guide, that's why I put "I do not believe it is true guide material."

 

Wow, that is actually pretty cool. Did not even know. I think it's time to fuck with a few of my friends
And I like your guide, very simple, with enough detail anyone can follow.

 

Is there a way to slow it down? It's way too fast for me.

 

lol very nice idea

 

Haha wow thts pretty kool. can play snake while watching the vids xD

 

Thanks, it's pretty useless but funny at the same time

 

Thanks for the feedback.

No, I wish. I always have trouble controlling it right of the start.

 

hahahahah funny! i pay more attention to the game , and forgot about vid , lol!

 

That's pretty cool. Thanks for the info!

 

This could've been put in the guide section, no matter how useless it is..
It's still a guide.

Oh well.
I think it's cool that youtube would implement this into it's server.
It's like the dancing dude in halo 3. lol.

 

haha i love it! However it is hard to control at the beginning

 

Pretty neat this is an easter egg for me sure would have never known about it. Thanks

 

Awesome. Never knew that.
