A simple game.
A difficult question.
Snake is our first test environment for autonomous control research. Try the challenge yourself, or watch a deterministic baseline agent.
Watch the
decision loop.
This is a self-contained browser game illustrating the experimental task. The scripted baseline uses a simple grid-aware rule and hidden game coordinates—not a trained neural policy or the pixel-only research controller.
This browser example is not connected to our private MaleCNS simulator or training runs. Scores here do not constitute published research results.
Use arrow keys or W A S D. Tap the buttons on mobile. The game automatically begins when you choose a direction.

Encode perception
Give the controller only what is visible in the environment.
Choose actions
Compare neural-derived readouts against carefully selected controls.
Evaluate honestly
Use fresh seeds, matched training budgets, and held-out tests.
