I wrote a simultaneous control version a long time ago (very naive game implementation, please forgive the code): https://github.com/J-Swift/clj-multi-snake

Its pretty difficult to play actually. I find the best method is to control one in a circle while capturing with the other.

Interesting. Now I"m wondering how to motivate someone to use both of them. Maybe two different kinds of food, specific to each snake?

It has that feature already : )

3/4 of the food are for either snake, 1/4 is for a particular snake.
