Easter eggs are messages, videos, graphics, sound effects, or an unusual change in program behavior that sometimes occur in a software program in response to some undocumented set of commands, mouse clicks, keystrokes or other stimuli intended as a joke or to display program credits.
The term was coined according to Warren Robinett
by Atari after they were pointed to the secret message left by Robinett in the game
adventure.
It draws a parallel with the custom of the Easter Egg Hunt observed in many
Western nations as well as the last Russian imperial family's tradition of giving elaborately jeweled egg-shaped creations by
Carl Farbge which contained hidden surprises
. just like the traditional easter egg of the united state or other countries at some point the easter eggs create this unexpective feeling of joy or the sorprise of the unknown treat waiting in the egg. which also has awesome moments before planning the activity that is decorating the egg, searching the paths to hid it, the joint of the group works and many other stuffs that involve the creativity !! this surprising click is the easter egg!!
also there are windows easter eggs; right below you`ll see what is about.
During the development of Microsoft Windows 95 the shell developers had several stuffed animals as mascots. One was Bear, who was a hold-over from Windows 3.1. There were two others, bunnies, as well: the smaller one called "16-bit Bunny" and the larger one called "32-bit Bunny". The naming is connected to the fact that Windows 95 was the transitional OS.These features needed to be turned on while Windows 95 was tested and the secret of turning them on was not removed. Some of the desktop features, including full window drag and anti-aliased fonts, could be turned on by placing the line ILOVEBUNNY32=1 under the windows section in win.ini. Just like the Bear, the Bunny has an exported function named after him. This time, it's BUNNY_351 in krnl386.exe.
