Snek arcade game unsolvable
I love this game, but:
I can't complete this SNEK arcade game because the E always end up in an unreachable place like in this screenshot.

the way the s and e spawn i think is the same, a little planning is needed but you should be able to get it after a couple of trial and errors just try not to cover up the screen with lines. clean straight lines helped me clear it

I also got the E inside already drawn (now black) lines, but I can try again.

the next E spawns in a (to me) random place, how do to plan for that?

i tried to stick to the walls and only create right angles that way i wouldnt close off any next move

The order is always the same. You can by trial and error progressively figure out all positions, number and draw them on paper, then think of optimal strategy. And/or you can stick to the walls.

Try to only draw vertical and horizontal lines,closely together but with enough gap to get back through.

I got victory in the Snek. The places seem to be the same but the order for me at the end was different.

it is easy if you stick to straight lines

I completely cheesed it by never leaving any enclosed areas a letter could spawn in. I just followed existing lines as much as possible, and if I could be "cut-off" from part of the screen, I completely filled that area in before connecting the letters.

The places the E spawns are fixed locations, but if you enclose such a location then you can not continue. The order of the places are not fixed.

Just started drawing a horizontally mirrored C with the first few S and E that appeared.

Then I kept my path to that shape as close as possible when reaching the next E's. Make sure there are no cut off areas where E's could appear.

Edit: The strategy was already explained:

My solution worked twice (and eventually when I have to do it a third time for a missed achievement): Draw the most direct line between points and avoid the corners of the map as much as possible. For every successive line, hug the previous one exactly to take the shortest route to the next point, making sure you don't favour one edge of the map. Your original line will get quite fat (I fill in the gaps as I go to keep things clear) and the last line will probably cut off the two halves of the map, but you'll be finished.

One last hint: Try pressing the right mouse button once you made a mistake.

This puzzle is "technically solvable" but imo is actually bad lol
