It seems that Nintendo pulled a game from the eShop Switch after its developer revealed that it contained a secret code editor. If you're trying to make sure that Nintendo will never work with you again, we imagine it would.
The game in question is A dark room, a text adventure launched on the switch at the beginning of the month. We shared more information about it just before it was launched if you want to know more, but it has essentially allowed you to live a story through the text and the interaction between the players.
In the end, though, it was not everything. Amir Rajan, the man responsible for converting the game from its original form to the version that saw an output on Switch and mobile devices, talked about a hidden feature online. He explained that he had hidden an interpreter and code editor Ruby in the form of an "Easter egg".
Ruby is a high level programming language that theoretically allows players to write and run their own custom applications on the switch without having to hack. Applications would be game-related and could only be run when loading this game, but you can see why Nintendo would oppose its implementation.
You can see a preview of the editor running in the game in the video below (which contains some bad language towards the end).
As you can imagine, and as we mentioned above, the game is no longer visible on any version of Switch eShop. It seems that Rajan was rather stupid to share the online feature in plain sight, although you can argue that it was even more silly to include it in the first place.
