I was looking over the newest revision of PongLife 1 v3.0.1 (<- this is
important) and I just happened to find probably the biggest Easter Egg
of all time!!
    I'm not aware of any contest in the finding of this thing, so I
doubt I'll be getting any prize for this one.
    With that said, maybe I won't give the COMPLETE secret out (but I
will give a couple of hints ;-)
    
Hint #1:  On the main menu page, you will see a bunch of P's(?)
surrounding the screen like a border.  Most of the P's are connected to
each other, but I happened to discover that some of them (4) are not.
    At first, I thought the authors had just messed up, since I clicked
all around them and could find no button.
    But finally, I found it.  The button is a tiny one.  About 1 pixel
in height to be exact.  In the upple left hand corner of the first P.
(forward facing).

Hint #2:  In the four secret buttons, are: a clue on how to disable
PongLife 1; what the password is (false); a field to type in a password;
and an angry comment to "Aeri Rammazhadi" (sic).

Hint #3:  The secret password the button gives is incorrect (will not
work), but it's obvious what the real one should be.


Once your in the Easter Egg, you will first see a screen in tribute to
Auri (who was one of the original co-authors of PongLife.)  There's lots
and lots of text here:  chat room samples, emails, etc.
    When you quit from here, you are taken to a hilarious picture of
auri and scrolling messages.  It looks as though this is probably where
most of the work in this PongLife update went.
     I, for one, found it to be most enlightening.
