		 are enabled.

       -n	 Do not	try to update score file.

       -s	 Only display high score sorting by descending and exit.

       -w	 Disable wall crossing.	Can be used together with -s  to  show
		 score with wall crossing disabled.

       The  snake  seems  to  be faster	when moving vertically,	this is	due to
       terminal	character dimensions.
