What is an egg?

What is an egg? Smart readers will immediately think of Easter: in many foreign countries, after the vernal equinox every year, the first Sunday after the first full moon is Easter. When many westerners were young, they would play a game of looking for eggs that day. Some small gifts would be hidden in the eggs, so the people who found the eggs would be very excited. Therefore, the eggs are the most typical symbol of Easter, representing surprise and mystery. However, of course, we are not talking about "Easter" eggs, but eggs buried in software. Interesting, right? Have you ever played before? Hehe, then you must have never seen so many eggs below! Come and dig!

I don't know if you have noticed this list of software development groups, such as project managers, programmers, testers, etc. , generally can't be found in the help or about of the software. Do developers want to be anonymous? Of course not! This is due to the regulations of many software companies. But developers are very smart. They announced their names in another way-Easteregg. When writing software, some secret information will be added, such as the list of team members, which needs to be revealed through specific operations. This is an early egg.

Later, some programmers designed some lovely pictures or music to commemorate the birth of a software, and hid them for users to find. Now, more and more people like this method, and it has gradually developed into a well-known habit. Looking for eggs in the software is like looking for gifts at Easter, full of freshness and excitement. The expression of eggs is also flexible and diverse. A small game, a beautiful piece of music, some practical jokes and so on can all be colored eggs. They have injected vitality into the software and become an alternative landscape. We say that the wonderful is "resurrected" from this.

Tip: Pay attention to the version number of the software when digging Easter eggs. Not all versions of the same software will have eggs, and subsequent versions may not be compatible with the old version.

Easter eggs are actually some hidden contents on DVD, which can't be seen in the normal menu and can only be selected by some special methods.

The contents of the eggs include some tidbits, abridged fragments, funny pictures, trailers and so on.
