During Game Programming class, KingOfKYA and I, along with another group member, found the best way to have an "Easter egg". In the instructions under game controls was this text:

Of course, when we playtested each others' games, we looked around the room to see others' screens. Of course, many others were having fun pressing it.

Here's what pressing Z did:
- Launched the entire Adobe CS3 Master Collection suite
- Launched the entire Microsoft Office 2007 Professional suite
- Launched two copies of Autodesk 3dsmax
- Launched FirstClass (school e-mail client)
- Launched Game Maker 6.1
Pressing Z again would launch everything...again.

The teacher was the first person to "win" the game by pressing the power button (after she [s:373t0q07]stopped[/s:373t0q07] tried to stop laughing).

F1 brings up the instructions. I pulled out my external hard drive just to copy-paste the exact instructions. F4 is full screen, R is restart, N is next level, P is previous level.

I wish I had that class

I'm not old enough, we have this really stupid "Computer Design" class, where you learn basic Word Stuffs.

YAWN and we weren't allowed to play any games.
