"These are Steven and Brian's design ideas!" Barbie says, laughing. "I'll be doing the code. Graphic design is it's own highly technical skill, and just because I'll be coding it doesn't mean I know how to make it look great! That's why building a game like this is such a team effort."

In computer class, Barbie raises her hand. "Yes, Barbie?" asks Ms. Smith, the teacher. "Why did you use the E13B standard font to encode my name in binary when other methods of representation are far more efficient?" The teacher is surprised, because all other students need their laptop for reading binary, but Barbie obviously doesn't.
