TIL that PopCap’s engine was called SexyAppFramework and it’s open source.

And everything inside it is prefixed with “Sexy”. SexyString, SEXY_ALLOC_MAP, SexyTrace...

It’s certainly of an era, haha.

Popcap was originally named Sexy Action Cool. The name was probably from that era or a callback at the very least.

TIL that as well, it certainly makes the name make more sense!
