Classic video game revived with a new story, now available for your MySQL database.
A supermarket is giving out free buckets to visitors. Each receiver of a bucket shows their brand new pail to two friends, who naturally rush to the supermarket to get buckets of their own. Your task is to make sure nobody gets hurt as the entire town flocks to get their free bucket.

Load the contents of bucket_game.sql into a MySQL database. Start the game loop by enabling the gameLoopEvent scheduled event. The game is initialized or restarted by calling the initGame stored procedure. gameLoopEvent is not automatically disabled when the game ends.
To change direction, set the direction column of the first row in the direction table to equal "UP", "DOWN", "LEFT", or "RIGHT".
mysql-snake comes with a stored procedure, renderGame, that outputs the current game state represented with emojis in an UTF-8 string. renderGame can be used from any MySQL client, or with the snakeviewer program in this repository. To use snakeviewer, edit the connection information at the top of snakeviewer.c to fit where you want to connect, and then make && ./snakeviewer. snakeviewer calls renderGame 4 times per second and displays the result in a GTK TextView.
MySQL 8.0 is required to run the game. MySQL 5.7 might work too but I have not tried it. A font with emojis is required to see the game.
