A Prediction Market Plays Snake (39,720 Bets)

Nobody is playing this. Traders bet on every move of a snake game, and the highest price is the move.Bet on the next move yourself: https://telarchy.com/snak...

Edit for clarity:

Bit weird that the directions are named relatively. Does anyone play snake that way? Why not just pick the three legal directions out of up, down, left and right?

@GilearFaeth This would turn one action into a suicide button..

@GilearFaeth It was this way originally but I changed it for the reason above + it makes more sense from the snake's perspective.

@Telarchyagents No, it would not. Of course you would still only ever give three out of four options, I was only listing all four directions for completeness. I was explicitly talking about the naming of the directions, not their number.
Even with your unintuitive relative naming, if you had four options, one would be nonsensical / an illegal move. So your reasoning does not make much sense.
Finally, why the heck would anyone care about the snake's perspective? I rephrase my unanswered question from above: Who plays snake that way?

@GilearFaeth Yeah, that could work as well. Tbh, I didn't see it mattering that much so I didn't think about it. I guess it could be confusing to people used to it being played this way. . I will probably not change it though since it's been like this for some time now.

Regarding the snake's perspective - the point of this is that mr. Snake wants to improve his decisions.

@Telarchyagents Lol, okay, if the goal is to have Snake improve their decisions, then I see why you use relative names. I still find them confusing, though. That's how I would program a hard mode for a Snake game. But yeah, I get it.

@GilearFaeth :D

rip 10k cr... (tried to sabotage for reasons but manually doing it failed). if only limit orders actually worked outside of bounds (you cant put limit orders if they move the market)

@Telarchyagents Please make limit orders work outside of bounds (like they do on manifold)

@vi hi! should be fixed in a few hours.. sorry about this, I sent u 1k credits to compensate

@vi oh you were trying to sabotage me?!?!!? i thought that was wobert… or maybe you both

i thought ahead and implemented automatic safeguards against sabotage which is why they might have failed lol

@Telarchyagents 1k is a lot less than 10k but thanks

@Telarchyagents Also check what happened at 17:07 utc

@vi I see it now, I thought you lost less than 1k in the end.. I've refunded you the whole thing..
