@reth asked:

how exactly does Electric Looper's movement work? does it just randomly pick between moving or coiling, or is there some actual calculations being done for deciding what the snake is going to do?

every snake periodically decides whether to slither right or left; the way that different snakes move is almost entirely determined by:

  • how frequent that period is
  • how quickly it turns during that period
  • how fast it progresses forward

for the Electric Looper, it re-evaluates whether to turn right or left every 270 degrees, which means it's bound to twist around itself a bunch while chasing the player down. it'll get to you eventually, but it takes a very circuitous path to get there!
