A crypto legend and a game only a dev can win

The brief was simple enough. Windows programmers are stuck in their ways. Microsoft is releasing lots of new tools, but struggling to get devs to see the point in trying them. So to get them using the tools without even realizing it, we turned to 80s video games, reddit, github, a Bitcoin pizza legend, and probably the nerdiest, most technical branded challenge ever conceived.

DEVELOPERS CREATED 170,000 VERSIONS OF THE GAME TO CRACK THE CODE AND DELIVER THE PIZZA.
