The snake moves at a constant speed.
The snake moves only north, south, east, or west.
An apple appears at a random location (but the location where the snake can reach).

When the snake "eats" (runs into) an apple, it gets longer.
The game continues until the snake "dies".

Two players (player 1 and 2) concurrently play the Snake game on a single board
The size of the board is 40 x 80 or larger.
The player 1’s snake starts at the left-top corner of the board, moving south (downward).
The player 2’s snake starts at the right-bottom corner of the board, moving north (upward).
Apples appear at a random location (but the location where one of the snakes can reach).
There are always exactly two apples visible at any given time.
The game continues until one of the snakes dies.
The snakes die by either (1) running into the edge of the board, (2) running into its own
body, or (3) running into another snake’s body.
Once one snake dies, the alive snake wins the game (score is not calculated).
Other rules including the movement of snakes are same with the single player mode
