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!
