Getting a nostalgia from my first GitHub repo. It was a snake like game, but the snake doesn't bend 😅.

I had no idea what to write in the Readme, so I wrote "This is almost like a snake game" 😅 .

I definitely believe that certain genres of online games can be particularly beneficial for personal growth and skill development. For instance, strategy games often require critical thinking, planning, and decision-making skills, which can translate well into real-life situations. Puzzle games, on the other hand, enhance problem-solving abilities and logical reasoning. Using tools like the google gnome launcher makes it easier to find and access a variety of these games quickly. Additionally, role-playing games (RPGs) can improve social skills and teamwork, especially when playing with others in multiplayer settings. Overall, these genres not only provide entertainment but also foster valuable skills that can be applied in various aspects of life.
