Off topic, but I really don't think "it has obfuscated code" is, or has ever been, a selling point for any addon. I had a lot of friends and guildmates who played Peggle back in Wrath -- and I myself played Bejeweled -- and I never once heard anyone mention anything about code obfuscation. Peggle has "succeeded" because it's a fun little distraction you can play inside WoW while you're waiting for your raid to form, waiting for your queue to pop, etc. There are other minigame addons, sure, but most of them do not come anywhere near the level of immediately-accessible fun, replay value, and overall polish that professionally-made games like Peggle and Bejeweled offer. It's not really a mystery why these are more popular than, say, in-game chess.
