Ok - I figured it out- I didn't complete the hardest level. I'm partially color blind and distinguishing the orange and green was tough. I completed the final trial but when I saw 0/256 for Survival -- it wasn't worth attempting. Great game though, very addictive!
Not as originally implemented for use in the Linux kernel. It's meant to identify the original author, who is signing off on agreeing to contribute the patch as open source.
the sad part of this is that of the team of developers I work with (when i was on the M$ side) NONE wrote commit messages, save for one guy. So this would be an impossible game, and quite a sad one as well.
I would like a game along the lines of "who wrote that and what were they thinking"
This reminds me of when I was first starting out as being a developer. I had played with source control a little bit before joining a company where they heavily used one. I wrote pretty verbose messages in each commit when I joined until one of the senior developers stopped by and told me "yeah you don't really need to do that; since it requires something I just put a period in the box". Then I found out everyone on the team did this.
It started me on a bad habit doing this as well. The source history was almost useless.
