The Konami Code Strikes Again: Websites With Easter Egg Cheat Codes

5/12/2009

Apparently there are several websites now days with easter eggs 'aka hidden things, because programmers were bored'. A famous code 'Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start' is now appearing on several websites. Facebook and ESPN are a few of those websites. I didn't feel like searching through Facebook's 1mb+ of JavaScript to see how they did this, but I image it uses JavaScript key listener.

But I read someone complaining that "start" isn't actually part of the code, it's just necessary to start the game, and would be pressed whether you entered the code or not. Neat find anyways.

Also, I like eeggs.com, found the site many years ago.
