## What it is
A tool that pulls a GitHub user's contribution graph and renders it as an animated snake game, outputting an animated SVG or GIF. It is distributed as a GitHub Action so the image can be regenerated automatically and embedded in a GitHub profile README.

## Use cases
- add an animated snake game to my github profile readme
- generate a gif from my github contribution graph
- create an animated svg of my contribution grid
- automatically update a profile image daily with github actions
- customize colors of my contribution graph animation

## When to choose
- you want a fun animated visual for your GitHub profile README
- you want a zero-maintenance GitHub Action that regenerates the image on a schedule
- you need SVG or GIF output with customizable color palettes

## When to avoid
- you need contribution analytics or statistics rather than a visual animation
- you want a general-purpose contribution graph visualization library
- you need a license-granted usage guarantee, as the repository has no explicit license
