It's a fair assumption to make, as the difference between Tron and Snake is effectively just single player vs multiplayer.

No it isn't. In TRON you leave a trail behind. In Snake, you grow as you eat and drag your body along the path you crawled. TRON's trail is static, Snakes body is dynamic.

So then OP created single-player Tron instead of Snake?

I said effectively.

And that difference only exists to support the single player vs multiplayer dynamic. If Snake left a Tron tail then it would be a very short, unfun experience. If Tron didn't leave a permanent trail then matches would last too long.

Maybe the single player vs multiplayer difference only exists to support the different tail mechanics.
