I am an OpenEdge (aka Progress) developer that loves clean code and good looking applications that are easy to use. My main pet project is the Progress DataDigger
I have a pet project DataDigger check here that has seen several easter eggs. In the previous version I shipped an Arkanoid game, written in the Progress database 4GL. In the current version there is a Sokoban game hidden. And even a real Rickroll.
Each version of the DataDigger has a codename. DataDigger 19 was called 'Haiku' and I could not refrain from adding one to the readme:
serious data
but with a DataDigger
will it remain the same?
Now this is a pet project, but at work we did something similar. On the 'about' page of the project, we added a small easter egg: the window held a company logo. This image could be dragged away, revealing a button. When you pressed that button, the pictures of all eight members of the team appeared on the screen and rotated around the about screen. Absolutely un-useful, but fun to program :)
Hiding games in programs is great (and fun for people that find them). I love the hidden button idea though, there's so much fun you could have with that!
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
