×you want the snake chasing you from the east then north when you're walling yourself in, so that when it turns northwards, its own tail turns it east. And to finish it off, it should go up for 5 turns and then east for 5 turns.
Unfortunately, that didn't help me. I'll return to this shortly.*

Search the forum for "snake clock" on how to install an alternative threat clock that helps with this.
I know how to track the preferences even with the builtin clock, but thanks.

Awesome!
* Now to the question, as I seem to not
fully understand snake preferences:
When I isolate myself from the snake, it starts moving east and north, which is all good.
But then, in the middle of this moving towards the plate, there's a moment where:
- the snake head is more north than Beethro,
- there's nothing south of it,
- and the preference changes to vertical.
Then why does the snake not go south in that situation?
That would be "
towards"
Beethro and I thought that takes precedence over the
NESW rule (perhaps this is the incorrect assumption).
Explanation/recap how snake moves work is greatly appreciated!
