...and even a 224 byte version (240 as a URL), but with a few too many sacrifices.
If it's useful, I added an explanation of how it works at:

If anyone's interested, I've tried to annotate a fair amount of the tricks I've used so far: https://github.com/lukebatchelor/url-snake/blob/main/golf/de...

Edit: hm, at some point in my golfing I appear to have broken the apple placement randomisation logic... I'm too lazy to debug it right now (probably)

I could host my own shortener to do it, but it feels like that is cheating the spirit of the challenge.
I'll keep playing with it though, add touch device controls, maybe a site to allow generating different versions of the url (different colours, sizes, game over messages, etc).
1. You can change directions multiple times within a tick, making the last direction to be effective.
2. You can change to any directions, including the opposite direction of your current movement, which usually results in :( as the snakes head bumps into its body...
3. Except when the snake has length 1 or 2, then it's OK, as the snake either does not have a body yet, or its body and head switch places at the next tick.
As a combination of 1 and 2, quickly turning around is a risky move.

It's a small JavaScript application to store entire web pages in URLs. I made it after learning that links with data URLs are no longer clickable.

The article from the tweet: https://laconic-mu.vercel.app/index.html?c=eJylWOuS27YV%2Fu%...
"When decoded, the script appears to be a Snake game implemented using JavaScript and the HTML5 canvas element. The script creates an HTML page with a canvas element and adds event listeners for arrow keys and space bar to control the game."
(Yes, this is moving the goalposts and implying that true AI is just over the horizon...)
Over here it decodes a js animated SVG https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS8rcjhgg/ but made a few slight mistakes.
Try asking it about someone famous from 2021 and it usually doesn't know.
