Hidden Academic Game

Academic Snake: Paper Submission Season

Stack doctoral caps into a longer snake and chase CCF 2026 AI A venues. Higher-impact badges are larger and worth more points; conference targets have deadlines and disappear if you wait too long.

Score 0 no combo
Length 3 doctoral hats
Current Target -- waiting
Deadline -- rolling submission

Start A High-Stakes Submission

Collect high-impact venues and stay away from the academic integrity red line. Conference food counts down; journal food stays open.

  • The wall is the academic integrity red line. Touch it and the game ends.
  • Conference targets have a 9-second submission window before they refresh.
  • Impact uses Google Scholar Metrics h5-index to set size, score, and growth.

Mobile: swipe anywhere on the board to steer. Direction buttons are just a fallback.
