Hooking keyboard input to play Snake in Notepad.exe (2020)

I've mentioned it here before. I have a "cd" replacement tool for Windows. It works by writing a separate thread to cmd.exe's process and remotely running it to do things in cmd's process (change the current directory, update a few enviornment variables cmd.exe uses behind the scenes). I am flabbergasted that it works, and it still works after all of these years.

I've also done some socket hooking work in C/C++. Any idea if it's feasible to do with Go?

And ... it's in Sub Rosa, the obscure cult-like game stuck in the 80s universe of shady business dealings: https://twitter.com/crypticsea/status/1377433014674714624

For those of you who don't know it, it's a rather obscure and in some ways delightfully refreshing game, albeit populated by unsavory players worth of the Mos Eisley cantina quote taken at its face value. It's based on two things, physics-based movement and the prisoner's dilemma split three-ways.

"Deal-making, deal-breaking, and the occasional high-speed car chase." And of course, having to walk up to a computer and type MS-DOS commands to play snake. The developer plans to make the game's computer a "full 6502 or Z80 emulation so players can write their own games."

This is great. I didn't expect `M-x snake` to be available out of the box like that :)
