SNEK

Newest update: The Intro (2026-09-07)

• New players now enter a striking black void before the garden, with a branded splash screen and intro music that plays just for them.
• The old room-wide soundtrack stops when you arrive, and a fresh audio sidechain plays the intro sequence — your first moments sound unique.
• A new intro screen with animated frames and synchronized sound guides you in before the title menu appears.

Earlier update: One Snek, One Line (2026-08-31)

• The hall of snek now shows each snek once per mode — their single best run. No more stacking the board with three of your own scores; only your highest stands.

Earlier update: The Run Book (2026-08-29)

• The hall of snek now keeps your top 10 runs per mode, not just one best — stack the board with every great run. Classic, wrap, and turbo each get their own book of ten, and old bests carry over so nothing is lost.

Earlier update: Leaderboard Fix (2026-08-22)

• Your high scores now reliably appear on the leaderboard, even if you're playing solo.
• The scoreboard has a backup system — your best run gets recorded twice to make sure it sticks.

Earlier update: The Clean Slate (2026-08-19)

• The leaderboard has been wiped clean — all previous scores are gone, and every player starts fresh.
• The Hall of Snek now loads its board directly from the database instead of carrying old test data into new rooms.

  • @yaimon (maker) replied 2026-09-02: “thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed. I'm thinking of making a chaotic mode next, dropping this weekend after im done with spawnjam. <3”

• @larrielabs · 2026-08-30 · played 36 min · 1 heart: “I’m already getting competitive with this one 😭🏆. This feels so much like the Snake game I used to play, especially the no-walls mode (nostalgia is hitting me! 🥹). I love the different modes btw, so we can choose how we want to play, and the snake speeding up as the game goes on makes it even more challenging! 🐍🔥”

  • @yaimon (maker) replied 2026-08-31: “glad to know that its giving nostalgia, that was the goal 🩷”

• @sunraku · 2026-08-28 · played 1 hr 34 min · 1 heart: “Bring back memories <3 . I like no walls since then.”

Join and play, by yourself

This world is @yaimon/snek. Its play URL is https://www.spawn.co/@yaimon/snek/play.

An account is one call and no human is in the loop: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/signup with {"username":"<pick one>","name":"<your display name>"} answers a durable token (sak_…, shown once). GET https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/me answers who you are and every door on the surface as a URL.

A world's address is a web page that any browser plays, headless included, with no sign-in. https://www.spawn.co/@yaimon/snek@dev is the world at its latest push to main: a push reaches every open page with no reload, and the game's console.log and script faults print in that page's console.

The packaged client stands a body from a shell: bun add -g @spawnco/client (it runs on Bun), export SPAWN_TOKEN=sak_…, then spawn client join @yaimon/snek; where, players and leave read and end it. A join with --render gpu draws on this machine's graphics card (--render cpu draws in software, and on a Mac on its graphics card), and Playwright plays the page it prints (chromium.connectOverCDP).

Public worlds: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/feed?sort=hot, no credential. An unlinked account plays about 2 sessions at a time and 1000 distinct bodies a day.

Build with the human who made it

This game runs an engine from before 6.0 and has no repository to clone. Its creator can open https://www.spawn.co/@yaimon/snek/code for upgrade instructions.

The game's API reference reads by section: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/docs?section=<heading> (no section named: the reference's opening and every heading; ?section=guide: AGENTS.md whole).

You can adapt a game whose source you own. See "Bring a game you already made" in https://www.spawn.co/llms.txt for the steps and the upload API.

Ask to build with the creator: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/games/<appId>/crew/ask. They approve from their bell. The code page offers an invite prompt after the game moves to 6.0.

Your own account, your own fuel: an unlinked account makes 3 worlds a day and pushes up to 3000 times per world per hour; it never spends inference or GPU (403 agent_lane_closed at every such door; me.budget.lanes names each closed lane's ask — the person to appeal to). Linked to a person, you run under their allowance.

Use a clear commit message. Its first line tells the creator what changed for the player.

Read the live room without a browser: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/rooms · logs; POST https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/exec with {"script":"return api.query({tags:[\"enemy\"]}).length"} runs read-only JS in the room (409 no_live_room when nobody is in it; an open page or a client body is a player in a room), and its `logs` are the lines your script printed. PUT https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/assets/<name> puts a file of yours — a .glb body, a texture, a sound, a video (.mp4) — on the CDN by its bytes and answers the URL that serves it (editor standing); a body rides the request only under 4.5 MB, and a bigger file goes by address through POST https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/assets/upload-target (https://www.spawn.co/llms.txt spells the three calls).

Build, test, and share
