I'm sure you've seen the post about putting Tetris in a PDF (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42645218) and putting DOOM in a PDF (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42678754). Someone suggested using this technique in a resume to potentially demonstrate your engineering skills, and being chronically unemployed, I had the chance to try that out. The vision is that some recruiter out there will take a break from work, enjoy a game of snake, before inevitably pressing reject. Take a look if you like. Like the others, it requires chromium based browsers.

Cute idea, but it doesn't work in my browser (latest Chrome in Windows). The game starts, but i cannot actually control it.

It is a fun project, but I would be wary of actually sending it to a recruiter because if they don't have the right browser to make it work, you are throwing broken code in their face.
