Show HN: I Put Snake in my Resume [pdf]

3 pointsby swiftc4 months ago
I&#x27;m sure you&#x27;ve seen the post about putting Tetris in a PDF (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=42645218">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=42645218</a>) and putting DOOM in a PDF (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=42678754">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=42678754</a>). 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&#x27;t work in my browser (latest Chrome in Windows). The game starts, but i cannot actually control it.<p>It is a fun project, but I would be wary of actually sending it to a recruiter because if they don&#x27;t have the right browser to make it work, you are throwing broken code in their face.
