See the idea in action
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
