Re: Star Battle - Easter Egg
The thing that struck me about that was that he had the focus to follow through with it. When I do stuff for the VIC-20, I plan on adding various strings in memory, and wind up weeding them out because there's another feature I want to add. Text is greedy. So to plan your feature set, execute it, and resist the temptation to add another enemy or weapon... that's a sign of maturity.

Robin is awesome. We all need to subscribe to his channel and support him. I finally got around to watching this video. It's amazing.

Re: Star Battle - Easter Egg
Yep great video, great fun discovering the hidden Easter egg. Informative and easy enough also for a complete programming dumb like me. Also, I didn't know Satoru Iwata himself wrote this game!
