Yep - we had a nice star-wars scrolly thing with the credits if you typed a magic string into the search box.
I did something very similar (but using a key combination to launch it) about ten years ago - when I went back to the same client a few years later, it was still in and subsequent developers had added themselves to the credits.. which was nice
I have a lot of dev diagnostics, which are supposed to come out in production, but never do.
Data initialisation and such, or error forcing
it might have been something like that, something scary
No, it was definitely an easter egg. It refers to this but I just can't remember what the point of it was.
Do you ever put easter eggs into your applications ?
Many (many - may have been uni years) years ago, I was sent a link to try in Excel which worked.
I can't remember it, but it involved a few page downs on the 3rd tab "type of thing", then some <CTRL> "X" or something in a certain cell.
Upon doing this, a "room" opened, that had all the developers names on the wall - was quite cool (well, to a 2nd year student it was).
I once found some code in an application that I was working on that checked for the keypresses "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A"
Can't remember what it did though.
