This snake uses MCTS (Monte Carlo Tree Search) with a time-based cutoff. It has high latency because it tries to use the time provided for each turn to collect more samples/rollouts.

This is my first attempt at a reinforcement learning snake. Highly experimental.

It goes to the edge and then spirals inward.

StaticSnek (7x7)

Just goes in the same loop no matter what. Almost a Hamiltonian circuit, but the board has an odd number of squares.
