- SSH (Secure Snake Home) is a protocol for secure multiplayer snake games over the internet.
- All SSH traffic is encrypted to prevent cheating in competitive play.
- SSH is versatile, supporting not just snake games but also mods for other uses like remote computer access.
- snakes.run is a modern implementation supporting up to 2,000 concurrent players globally.
- To connect, use the ssh command and verify the server with ssh-keyscan and ssh-keygen to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
- Control schemes include WASD, Arrow Keys, or HJKL (vi motion keys), with a Space key to jump forward 3 tiles every 10 seconds.
- Players are invulnerable briefly after joining and must avoid collisions while collecting fruit to grow their snake.
