University of Winnipeg Konami Code

This week I was made aware of a neat easter egg on a site I visit regularly. The University of Winnipeg Division of Continuing Education has embedded a konami code into their website.

A konami code you might ask? Well the simple explanation is that it is a cheat code which allows you to access some “secret” content.

So this raises two questions for you… what is the cheat code? and what is the “secret content” on the U of W continuing education website? Obviously I can’t tell you this, but I can give you some very vague hints.

Hint 1: Cheat Code – Google Search: University of Winnipeg Konami Code

Hint 2: Secret Content – A classic flash game with a U of W twist

Hint 3: URL: http://dce.uwinnipegcourses.ca/

PS: Bet you can’t beat my high score (Look for Brenelz)

The University of Winnipeg DCE offers flash/actionscript courses that will give you the skills needed to create a flash game similar to the one found above. If you are looking for a full-time internet course, I would suggest their Internet System Specialist Diploma, AKA ISSD. It covers a variety of things such as:

HTML
CSS
JavaScript
Flash
PHP
Perl

They have recently added a Web 2.0 Technology class as well, which sounds real interesting!

Also be sure to check out their blog and follow them on twitter (uwinnipegDCE, uwinnipegDCE_IT, uwinnipegDCE_PS)

Remember that I am not just a blogger and I offer many web services to my clients. If you are in need of any web work, you can get a hold of me through the contact form on this website.

Any other examples of easter eggs you can think of?
