The Super Mario Brothers are always welcome guests in our magazine. This time, however, it's not directly about one of them trying to save Princess Peach. 👸

Rather, it's about the Fortune Telling mini-game in the Gameboy Color variant Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. 

Alfredo Gallegos is a true fan, as he reverse engineered the game in his blog post and subsequently implemented it as a Ruby port for the web.

His article is a worthwhile example of reverse engineering and traces Alfredo's path to the goal in very much detail.

And even if the goal is rather the way, the final result in form of the Ruby source on github is not less interesting. And if you feel like it, you can directly test your luck on a Heroku instance of the game.

We wish you luck. 🍀
