NixOS concept seemed promising but ended up being problematic.
NixOS had frequent issues and required constant rebuilds and fixes.

How to Build a Snake Game in Bash (Yes, Really!)

Bash, primarily used for automation and scripting, can also be used to create games like the classic Snake game.
Despite Bash lacking built-in game libraries, real-time input and rendering can be managed using manual shell commands.
The core game logic involves handling input, creating a game loop, and rendering the game in the terminal.
The game grid in Bash is represented using characters like '#' for borders and ' ' for the playable area.
Moving the snake in real-time in Bash involves setting the terminal in raw mode and handling key presses.
As the snake moves, its length increases by storing and updating coordinates rather than graphical representation.
Collision detection is crucial to end the game if the snake crashes into itself or the wall in Bash Snake game.
Additional game elements like food spawning, scoring, and game speed enhancement can be implemented to enhance the game.
Challenges include adding scoring system, continuous snake movement, speed increments, and high score storage for improvement.
While Bash presents a challenge for game development, it may not be ideal for complex games due to limitations in real-time interaction.
