Please post the easter eggs that you have found so far if they aren't already posted by someone else.
Let's try to make a good Matlab easter egg list because it seems that there isn't one.
What should be posted:
- Unexpected but intentional behaviour
- Special things that the programmers left for us to discover
- Extra code inside a function that can be used for other purposes
- Hidden pictures and audio clips
What shouldn't be posted:
- Repeated Easter Eggs, if someone already posted it please don't repeat
- Bugs in functions that cause trouble and might be fixed in later versions
- Matlab games that come with the program unless they aren't mentioned in the documentation (the games are in the other demos, try the xpbombs and fifteen, you can even see the code for both games)

Descartes said 'I think therefore, I am.' For all you 'newton_2x2.m', and 'nfnitcerestst.m' fans, my 'Series Convergence Calculator' script now has a 15 - ball (Abel's Convergence Test - a powerful, advanced, test for converging trigonometric, and all other converging series). Look for it in an all encompassing update, happening soon at a screen near you!!!
why?
Since 'why' can be seeded (and has a max input of 2^32), some friends and I ran an exhaustive script to see what the longest response from 'why' is (it took many days to run across several computers). We found why(3282186255) generated a response that's 346 words long! This was using the default (v5uniform) seed generator, but there are several others one could set and check for possibly even longer responses! (This was done on R2023b)
Wow! It will be cool if you can share the result. Worthy of a seperate post.
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing.
Because the rich rich and tall and good system manager suggested it.

Not sure if this is known,
modes
eml_asteroids exists in R2020b in
fullfile(matlabroot, 'toolbox', 'stateflow', 'sfdemos')
Also in R2016b. I do not seem to see it in my other installations, but I might not happened to have installed the right product for the other versions.
Hi, super nice idea! I am trying the eml_fire or eml_asteroids and I always get an error, also for the sf_tictacflow. I am using MATLAB2022a. Does anyone know why I keep getting this error? Thank you :)

This will pull up a Conways Game of Life Cellular simulation
